It sounds like you want the coordinators to do all the work for O. I'll pass. I would rather have a good coach. It sounds like you want to give O credit for everything good and blame something else on everything bad.

It also sounds like you want to have a coach who doesn't actually coach anything. He's just a motivational speaker. He relies on coordinators to do all the heavy lifting and blame when something goes wrong. They'll also be here for three years or less.

Give me a coach who could can actually run things on his own if need be. Someone who trains coordinators, not the other way around. Someone who wouldn't miss a beat if their coordinator left. O has not exactly had a very successful defense without Aranda. I would hate for Aranda to leave and we be stuck to look for another genius.


I never said I want O, I'm just not against him. Just because I can see the issue with last nights game is Bama being a more talented team than us, thus, they win, somehow I'm an O supporter. I think if lsu goes a different direction, we need a guy who is going to bust it on the recruiting trail. I like fleck, he's the only one that has built a program from scratch through busting his arse.

It's pretty ignorant to statements to say O doesn't coach anything, just a motivational speaker, etc. he's probably forgotten more football than you will ever know. It appears you are just a guy that will bash O no matter what happens. looking for any opportunity to pounce on him. Whether it's warranted or not. There is no shame in how lsu played last night. They took it to bama as well as anyone has in 22 games. To bash a coach for losing to bama is stupid. Who's the guy that is beating them?

I don't care who the next coach is. I want one that can recruit lights out. If last night showed anything, you need better talent on the offensive side of the ball if you are going to compete with bama. I'm concerned everyone is so obsessed with getting some offensive guy that you create other issues by not paying attention to recruiting or defense.

I do have some issues with jumping the gun and hiring O.

The only thing he has ever proven is that he can recruit and motivate. And he can. He's one of the best recruiters in the country. I would never question that.

But as a HC, he's only beaten two ranked teams in his entire career. One of which was Ole Miss this year who is no longer ranked. Most of the teams he's beaten have losing records.

He was his own DC at Ole Miss and completely failed (I'm not saying he's not more knowledgeable now, just saying he's yet to prove it). He's never had a really good defense until this year with a genius DC.

He's given all of this credit for changing the offense and killing it for three weeks and now he's gets none of the blame for the failure because he "doesn't have an oline" or "the OC he wants".

I guess I just don't see the appeal. Anyone can hire an elite coordinator. Hell, or administration hired Aranda. Why have a guy who has proven nothing? Why not bring in a guy who has proven something. Anything. I can name a reason why I like most of the candidates as HC, but I can't find any reason why O should get our HC job. He's a great guy, he's just done nothing as a HC.
