re: The case against Larry Fedora

Valid point but would he make it at LSU to year 4 winning 8 or 9 games? He was status quo the first three years at both places.

well in theory it wouldnt take him as long at LSU

Remember what happened last time LSU hired a fellow that had been head coach at Southern Miss

that was the Ron Zook era so....

His best win in his career is against a struggling FSU team this year...who have you beat?.

If we are going to give the resources of lsu that much credit, then Bryan Kelly and Jimbo would be much better options....We know Jimbo and can recruit. Fedora, not so much.

Let me see if I have this straight: Jimbo can recruit better, and runs a better program, but Fedora is not a great coach because his only quality win is against Jimbo?

Maybe it's a matter of Fedora believing that his best chance to win in the ACC/CUSA is to have a great offense. That may change if he were to come to the SEC.

Fedora may be able to reel in talent at LSU that he never had a shot of getting at S. Miss or UNC. I don't care what your offensive philosophy is, you're not passing on 3 top 20 DT's in your own back yard. You're not passing on the ton of DBs the state produces. LSU can get those type of guys. UNC doesn't have the cache to do it.

Best case scenario is that Fedora would turn LSU into a better Ole Miss in terms of style of play. Only, LSU could get more and better defenders than Ole Miss.

Charlie Strong was the DC on that 2004 team. Defense didn't look to strong back then

Jimbo has a n.c. Bud. So a unknown u.a.b coach and u.l.m coach are better because they beat nick Saban. Gotcha. Come to me when fedora sniffs a NC

I hate that offensive philosophy. I don't think I could watch it at lsu.

It's a bad fit. too drastic of a change.

I still say he's the bizarre miles. plays excruciatingly close games that are high scoring instead of low scoring.

that style of play just isn't football to me. no fun.

He looks like a Geriatric version of Curley Hallman. His track record is very good but I don't want him. We can do better

He has Gene Cheez-it as his Def Coordinator, that type of coaching decision scares me.

Not crazy about it, but agree with some in this thread that in the end it will be Dan Mullen.
