Could he Turn into a Nick Saban/Jim Harbough/Jimbo type of guy for us and this be a huge turning point?


How do you "turn into" a Saban/Harbaugh type?

You either are or you aren't. O isn't.

The guy that kicked Sabans arse in the championship last year didn't just wake up one day a national championship coach.

I don't see it mentioned often when speaking of his Ole Miss days but does anyone really think these are comparable situations?

You have a program in the dumps..taken over by a young, "green", overly enthusiastic cajun fella.

Compared to a program with 3 natty appearences in 15 years, who's benchmark is beating the dynasty in BAMA who just happens to be in the same division.

O didnt have the resources to build a great program at Ole Miss. He has every tool he needs and the personality to suit to bring LSU back to the top.

I don't remember Nick Saban being a "Nick Saban-type guy" when he was at Michigan State--he lost FIVE or more games in 4 of his 5 five seasons there. And Bear Bryant wasn't a "Bear Bryant-type guy" when he was at Texas A&M or Kentucky (he lost/tied three games or more in 11 out of 13 seasons before going to Alabama). The point is, sometimes even great coaches need time to learn, mature, and grow into their role. They also need to "click" with the right fit at the right time. Now, I'm not saying that Coach O is a Saban or Bryant, but it's simply not true that all the great coaches are just dominant from the get-go.
