How do you hire a guy who went 3-21 in the same division?

He went 3-21 in SEC-W. He was the worst coach ever for a division rival with a lesser reputation. You were picking him to replace a man who had gone 19-3 in the same league, in the same division and won a national championship,a SEC championship, two SEC-W titles and 2 BCS bowl wins. Since that period (2005-2007), no other college team had given him a second look as head coach.

When, Curley Hallman was hired he had a better record at Southern Miss, than O had at Ole Miss. Hell, Curley had a better record at LSU than O had at Ole Miss.

Please note that Curley had to deal with Proposition 48 passed by NCAA, in 1986. Louisiana high schools were not geared for proposition 48 in the late 80s and early 90s.

Joe cares more about his ego than the program. His job was to basically get Herman and didnt like that Herman was trying to get the most money.

We settled on O instead of the better coach due to Joe

For starters you fire your current coach in SEPTEMBER.. that never made sense... I said that day, whoever they hired as the interim would be the next head coach (thought it was likely to be Aranda)... should have fired miles after the AL game and then we could have had a real search with the interim in the way

We're reduced to making excuses for one Hudson Hallman.

That's where we're at right now.

Thanks for all of the old information that everyone already knows. I was hoping another thread would get started.

I would have hired Curly Hallman over O. That's how bad this hire is. I never thought I would ever say this, in the 2nd half of the State Game I actually wished Les Miles was still our coach.

But the CheeriOs said his record is irrelevant, Ole Miss is just a shite program, he's changed, blah blah...

Alleva said that people learn more through losing. Being a historic level failure is now a desirable qualification.

I wish there had been demonstrations on the LSU campus with people asking the same fricking question last November, but instead we just bent over as Alleva shoved O up our arse.

and its not like we had from last sept/oct to get this thing right.

anyone with a half a brain knew that with the way 2015 ended, miles leash was as short as alleva's foresight. a list of 10 candidates should have been made november 2015, and behind the scene feelers should have started then. not 1 guy, and when he declines, lets go with the emotional O.

Meh. Croom was pretty bad, but your point is well taken.

Never been a huge fan of the hire. But the buy out he was given is absurd.
