Might be a good time to revisit what resistance an AD ran into when he tried to fire a local Louisiana hero as LSU coach after he went winless in SEC play.

This saga was the first thing that came to mind when the Pro-O sentiment started growing the past few weeks.

This hire was, no-doubt in my mind, facilitated by heavy political pressure. It worked and now O has his "dream job" and the good old boys have their place at the head of the table again.

There's no other reason for the quickness of this hire and the lack of due diligence in the farsical "National Search".

Regardless of wins and losses, these are dark days for the program. Not because of who is coach but for what it represents administratively.
