Come on man, I've heard 5th graders that were more articulate than Coach O.

in a word - YES. He will bring in top recruits, inspire players to become the "Fighting Tigers" again, and will manage games well -- like he did perfectly this year. He has already energized the fan base and coaches in LA and this is WAYYYYYYY more important than the nega-creeps on this board realize.

So just because he has an accent he's stupid? You are struggling to put together consecutive decent sentences so what does that say about you? You have an accent too?

I really hope that he is, but history says that he won't and I fear that this will end up being a Curly Hallman/Johnny Jones type hire. I think a better article to read on his potential success is this one by Ivan Maisel.
Even that doesn't tell the full story as his record at Ole Miss (10 - 25 - 28.6%) is worse than all but two of the coaches on the list.
I want O to succeed. I want LSU to win and will root for them regardless, but I think all we've done with this hire is kick the can to finding a good coach down the road at the expense of a few seasons. If that is the case, we can't really start looking for a new coach until after we've found a new AD.

It's entirely possible I've missed someone. But I've identified only 19 Power 5 schools in the past 50 years that hired a head coach who had been fired or forced out by another Power 5 school. Of those 19 coaches, one won a national championship. One won a conference championship. They are the same man, Gene Stallings, in the same season, 1992, at Alabama. That's it.

Only two of them finished with a winning record at the second school: Stallings and Paul Hackett, who went 19-18 in three seasons at USC

I look at what Les did at LSU and I think about O in comparison. O is a better recruiter and motivator and Les basically got in people's way making adjustments that clearly made our team worse off.
If Les won 10 games a year at LSU, I don't see why O can't.

Unfortunately O will be gone within 2 years and the process starts over

People are definitely swayed by accents and not content. This is why there is a perception that British accents sound so smart. Don't underestimate a man because of his accent or do so at your own peril.

With that small sample size... a whole 19 coaches over 50 years... I'm not impressed with the stat.
But I'll play along. How many coaches got fired, took over as an interim coach in two different places, was was successful at both interim schools? If the answer is zero, does that mean O has already done more than any other coach in the same situation in the history of the game?
