re: I found myself thinking about 2011 last night

I've come to the conclusion if you win the national title in 2011 then 2019 never happens.

Les was already given a lot of leeway with his one national title, if he wins in 2011 it's considered one of the greatest seasons ever.

But he would have never been fired mid season in 2016 with a national title on 2011 combined with his success in 12 and 13.

So O would have never been the interim and never considered for the full time job.

Let me remind everyone about Joe Burrow:

Jimbo, Herman, Saban, everyone except for Ed Orgeron and Luke Fickel passed.

Also Jamar chases dad said he was never going to play for Les after Les told him he'd be a better DB than WR. Who knows with that but the burrow thing is an absolute in my mind.

Joe was going to LSU or Cincinnati.

I hate 2011s ending but I trade it for 2019 every day of the week.


TLDR: 2011 natty means Les never fired midsession so O never becomes interim and Joe Burrow never comes to LSU.
