re: Silver lining in all this

Failing fast is definitely preferable to bleeding out over the next five years. My biggest fear after the Orgeron hire was that he would typically have 8-4 or 7-5 type seasons which over time would become the norm for LSU football. I'll take the current mess over that scenario every time. LSU has proven that it can compete, year after year, with anyone in the country and that needs to continue being the goal going forward.
