The coaching comparison is stupid for many reasons, but one reason no one seems to be mentioning is that Les has a clear advantage in coaching a better football school with more resources.

The better question would be whether or not GP would have a better or worse record than Les if GP coached LSU. Of course that is purely hypothetical, but if TCU goes undefeated this season (not likely) and LSU loses 3 games, these same rantards will be calling for Les' head and begging GP to come here.

IDK much about TCU, but what are the better resources LSU has? Im curious. I know they are a private school. Not sure on academic restrictions, they already recruit better than most teams in the big 12, they are in a sate with more hs athletes than the whole population of other states, including LA.

The only thing I see would be conference affiliation. But i dont know why they just didnt join a better conference a while back.

nope all they want to see is we play harder schools (which is true)


But they want to ignore the convenient truth that there are other differences. Look at what you enter the game with. GP is at a distinct disadvantage vs. LM.







So for a more even comparison (although still a bit in favor of LM from the beginning) look at both of the coaches first year as HC. Both coached their first year in the same conference.



CLM first season as a HC was also in the Big 12. He went 4-7 with 6 losses in the Big 12 conference. He did this with a team that had been a charter member of the Big 12 for 5 years and was previously in the Big 8. His players were recruits that were recruited in the Big 12.

CGP first year as a HC in the Big 12 he went 7-6 with 5 losses in conference. He did that with a team that was new to the conference, with recruits that were recruited in the MWC, and with a team that was gutted by injury and suspension.
