They clearly do not understand the concept.

I'm not anti O. I just wanted Alleva to do his F-ing J.O.B. and conduct a legitimate coaching search! Obviously I don't expect any ground shattering success from O but it is what it is. O is OUR coach for now and I'm going to support him the best I can.

One team, one fan base!

Pro you're better than that, but I know you meant Alabama so I won't go there. LSU was not beating Alabama with the terrible play we have been getting from our offensive line. Blame Miles he recruited and ugh um... developed them I don't blame O. Florida is on O and the current staff I agree, they let the players get too emotional O even mentioned it after in an interview. That being said his recent accomplishments or data does not point to a terrible hire. I am on record that I wanted Herman or Jimbo, but I don't see the terrible hire that you and all these other college football experts see. I could be wrong but hey I'd rather see it play out on the field then spend my time being pissed of about it and jumping in every thread with negative barbs about the coach.

O sucks and had a binder so you're not really taking much of a chance. It's an easy $10k for you. Seems like an easy financial decision. You're not going to make $10k with no risk many other places.

O was a fine option...if about 10 guys turned LSU down

According to whom...you? Let's see your list of ten. Be forewarned, I will shite on your list like an elephant that ate an all you can eat Mexican buffet. Do it!

Everyone would take that bet, but I'm pretty sure he meant 6 combined losses over the next 2 years

6 per season.

Pussy.

It's always been toxic...that's why it will always be irrelevant...

Honestly, people are more concerned with how a guy "looks" than what he knows X's and O's wise. I made a post about this yesterday. A head coach just needs to speak well, recruit the bestm and convey his messages well. O cannot speak well, but is transparent. Les could not speak, nor convey well. Now, how is he that much better than O?

JFK won a presidency because he looked better and sounded more like he knew what he was doing than Nixon. Reagan was more hip than Carter and Mondale. He was still an actor from Illinois and California who just looked the part. If Coach O looked/spoke the part well, he'd be beloved. If he did not go to Ole Miss and do stupid Hummer commercials and lose a lot of games, he'd be AOK.

All that matters is:
a) Do his coordinators have an intellect that is just about unmatched? Can they do what Rich Rod did to UGA on NYD 2006? Can he do what Meyer did at UF? Cabn his D-coordinators put together a 2003 LSU-like scheme?
b) Can he talk in living rooms?
c) Can he beat Alabama/whoever the modern Lex Luthor is?

If O can make a happen, he's good. Still a joke? Yeah, right now. And yeah, we'd be laughing our asses off at Auburn had they hired him; however, he became our coach because of the despising of Les Miles from thousands. LSU beats Auburn...who knows?

But bottom line...we need O to look the part. If he starts '17 at 7-0 and ranked #2 in the USA, then all of a sudden his over the top Cajun-isms and past funny stories and parodies become the new thing. Les, for the most part, is very analogous to O. He is beloved for chewing grass, going 700 for 700 on 4th downs, and shouting "Have a great day!" at a media circus event. He certainly was not loved for his expertise. Thankfully, he had decent staff members.
