I hope LSU fans take notice and realize how some of them look when they whine about O and cry for Herman.

i don't know about the crying for herman part but we can still think that our coach is mediocre AT BEST. it's a logical stance.

Their fanbase acted just like this when they wanted Fulmer fired. I lived in Chattanooga at the time. Damn do I remember the phone calls to the radio shows.

This is the beginning of the end for Tennessee.

man....you guys still just don't get it, do you?

Most are angry because our AD threw a hissy fit instead of negotiating with Herman and immediately rushed to hire the guy who had no business even being up for the job.

could it have been a losing battle getting into a bidding war with UT? Probably but you still take a big swing. Then if it fails, you regroup and open the process back up. O wasn't going anywhere, you did not have to rush that decision.

They rallied back to 10 win seasons in 03 & 04 but their last 10 win season was in 2007.

Look what spending 6+ million on a coach trying to beat Saban has done to the rest of the SEC. Its created a vacuum and put these other places into a tail spin. Coach O can get it back through recruiting and making good hires.

And that was right after Katrina. I lost everything, my family lost everything, my friends lost everything and then Les fricking Miles goes and blows a 21 point lead at half. I wanted to go jump in the river.

recruiting is mediocre, he hired an OC that he disagrees with philosophically but didn't know it, he hired a bad WR coach to appease some NOLA coaches, his future STs coach is also a known clown. The best coaches on this staff were hired by Miles

so if that's what we're depending on well then we aren't off to a good start
