Orgeron - disliked for being an in general idiot and having a poor attitude as head coach. Couldn’t build on the success he attained and basically seemed to coast immediately afterwards and drove the program to lows we hadn’t seen in 20 years.

Miles - apparently now generally disliked. Was generally well liked until he stalled out with several 8 or 9 win seasons in a row and constantly losing to Alabama.


Saban - no comment necessary. Although now that he’s retired, maybe this bridge gets mended slowly.

Dinardo - Had some OK seasons then fell off and got himself fired.

Hallman - no comment needed

Archer - not sure how anyone today generally feels about coaches pre 1990s but we can discuss if necessary.

Basically seems like there’s not one former LSU head coach that the fan base generally looks fondly upon in recent memory. Is that an accurate assessment or are we generally irate as a fanbase?

ETA: should have specified. Football.

I respect Saban for what he did for our program. I liked Miles, but his lawsuit is cray cray.

Stovall isn't just liked, but loved.

True LSU Tiger if there ever was one.

Skip. Most people don't hate Mainieri. A portion of the fan base likes Wade. John Brady. I don't hate Saban.

Nobody loves LSU more than Jerry Stovall.

It's really something about this fanbase. Blame the coach. It's one of the reasons LSU has the worst/least intelligent fanbase in the SEC.

The rant is not an accurate representation of the LSU fan base.

His lawsuit is not seeking monetary damages. He only wants LSU wins to be reinstated.

the rant is a pretty dysfunctional place, a microcosm of LSU fandom, and in no way indicative of how most LSU fans feel

I love Ed O because he is a big Cajun idiot who had the greatest team of all time.

The fan base on this site doesn’t like any, not even the players.
