The LSUAD needs to be taught a lesson in what happens when you insult the Fan Base by continuing to employ incompetent head coaches.

"Cutting off the nose to spite the face" is an expression used to describe a needlessly self-destructive over-reaction to a problem: "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face" is a warning against acting out of pique, or against pursuing revenge in a way that would damage oneself more than the object of one's anger.

I'm no Johnny Jones fan, but IMO the solution should never be "I'm gonna teach them a lesson and quit supporting the team that I support."

Just like any coach of a major program at LSU, JJ will be judged over time, and will either keep or lose his job based on the consistent results or lack thereof. JJ knows better than anyone that the clock is ticking and results are expected soon.
