And he made these exact same hires , would the Rant still be bitching about everything?

I don’t like O, hardly anybody does, but can we let this fricking season play out before we decide to burn everything down? It should have happened soon as Alleva dotted his named on the fricking line . On the bright side, the first game of the season will tell us a lot . Fo the sake of these kids and potential recruits , let’s get behind them , give them all the support in the world. Prepare to go to Arlington, get drunk off our arse while watching our Tigers knock The “U” off their high horse and back on their arse where they belong .

Geaux Tigers !

Send the downvotes lol

No. Tom Herman can hire Joey from the corner mart to be OC if he wants.. Because he was OC at Ohio Freaking state and won a national championship. He's also much more successful than coach O in a much shorter amount of time.

If the whole theory behind hiring a extremely underwhelming coach is to surround him with the best coordinators available, you better do that.

Any other hire besides Ensminger has ranged from mehh to decent. but Ensminger is inexcusable at this point.

Fans show up in support for every school in the country. If all it took was fan support, every team would be good. It takes good players and a coaching staff that is detail oriented in creating a vision for the team and a game plan during the season, then communicating what those are to the players.

So what you're asking me is if we had a different head coach, would people be more excited and view the state of the program differently?



Is this the third thread with essentially the following premise "Forget about O" "O doesn't matter" "Imagine a successful coach in the LSU head coaching position" ....like to "feel good" the requirement is that we don't think about the head coach.

Am I the only one that sees the problem with the idea that feeling confident in our program requires ignoring our head coach?

He did lose to SMU while at Houston

Losing a conference game on the road isn't quite the same as paying someone to beat you on homecoming.

But to answer the OP's question, there would be less bitching because Ree and Space Cowboy would've hung themselves before Herman could've made any hires.

Many of the guys defending O would probably be ranting against Herman, because O was their guy. Many of the guys ranting against O would be defending Herman, because Herman was their guy.

Rational people would probably be disappointed with a few hires but may give him a pass on the offense because that is Herman's side of the ball plus Herman does not have a history as a head coach that indicates reason to be cautious.

I like O but don't feel confident in his ability to coach. What choice do we have about letting the season play out? The only people who can really burn the place down are O and Alleva. that is what some of us are worried about.

Here's hoping I'm wasting my time and effort with those worries.

I agree, by the way, I do think we thump Miami. Our defense will be too much for them.

And we all have a serious case of kennel blindness. Our dog is the best in the show. Our child is the prettiest in the play.

The LSU fan base isn't exactly a hotbed of objective thinking. There's a certain incestuous element to it. Nothing will change for at least 5 years.

Herman wouldn’t have made these hires. Plus we’d be able to score a point or two I’d imagine.

Tom Herman's career isnt built upon being the worst coach ever at a program full of shite coaches. Tom Herman didnt swear he had learned from those mistakes and then proceed to make those same mistakes.

tom herman isnt a 55 year old career dline coach that has never in his life proven he can run a successful side of the ball

O can’t hold Herman’s jock.

Herman is rebuilding a disaster at Texas and has been incredibly successful at every stop.

O has a history of failure.

Would Herman had given the fan base the same empty lies time and again?

If Herman were the coach we wouldn’t have lost to Troy and MSU.
