HC of the Buckeyes for 13 years. Compiled a record of 111-43, 70-30 in conference...back when the B1G was really, really good. Only had 1 losing season in Columbus, his first year there. Followed it up with 12 straight winning seasons. 3 B1G championships. Fired after going 8-4.
Why? He could not beat his biggest rival...Michigan.
Ohio State hired Jim Tressel...who was even better.
Then they followed up Tressel with Urban Meyer.
Some schools get coaching changes right.

LSU is its own rival.

I know where you're going with this, but Alabama is not, never has, and never will be LSU's rival.

Cool... Which one?

Sounds a lot like Bill Curry. Good coach, but couldn't beat Auburn. Then Stallings followed that up with an undefeated seasons and a National Championship. Then DuBose... I guess the parallels end here.

Cooper had amazing teams and it seemed like Michigan ruined their seasons a lot, but MSU really cut their hearts out in 1998.
