shite. "Yahoo" says my alma mater is a loser in the coaching carousel. Where do I turn in my fan card, and can I renounce my alumnancy?

LSU. Fired Les Miles (career winning percentage: .721). Whiffed on Jimbo Fisher (career winning percentage: .819). Whiffed on Tom Herman (career winning percentage: .846). Hired Ed Orgeron (career winning percentage: .420). But he’s a Louisianan, by golly.

Yes, only tigerdroppings posters think O was a shite hire. Do you live under a rock?


No. But to hear we are reverting back to the late 80s and early 90s. We can't recruit...everything is shite. I wonder if the idiots spewing such drivel was even around for those years.

Still can't believe some people really not wanting Jimbo



I feel like a fool for even debating which of the two (Herman or Jimbo) I favored. It's like debating over two really good steakhouses and then eating at Golden Corrall

For a majority of us, I think, it wasn't a case of wanting O over Jimbo. Jimbo was my guy. I'm just not losing my shite over the hire, spewing the "he talks like us" BS line over and over again.

LSU is a loser for firing miles but miles is also a loser for being unable to find employment? Ok

"Coach O just feels like an LSU coach. He sounds like one."

"But what about his record as a head coach? What about his ability as an actual head coach to win gam-?"

"Ah you know, don't worry about that. He just feels like a head coach for LSU though, baw."

Great, in the year 2016 we paid millions for head coaches literally unemployable by any other program.

Well done Joe.

First of all "Yahoo" didn't write this opinion piece.

Pat Forde did. Pat has been around awhile. He spent several years at ESPN covering college football and moved to Yahoo Sports.

This piece represents Pat's opinion. I have read his stuff in the past and found him to be a straight shooter. His column at ESPN was Forte Yard Dash, I used to read that often.

Whether you are a pro-O guy, anti-O guy or a wait and see on O guy, the truth is more national college football opinion writers (even those that like Coach O and are pulling for him) question this hire than praise it.

In the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter all that much what Pat Forde thinks or any college football writer thinks but I would hope we would all agree it would be better for the program if LSU got praise (like I think we will if we hire Canada) than pieces like this.
