no point in saying this to them, they just ignore it.

The AD and everybody else that has to do with the situation did the worst possible thing two years in a row. If Miles was let go after 2015, you have Dan Mullen, Mike Gundy, Justin Feunte, and a myriad of other good/established coaches to go after even if Jimbo didn't want in (for the record, I wanted Mullen over Jimbo). Then when that didn't happen, the next year when O was made interim you should have still had interviews with Mullen, Gundy, Jeff Brohm, and a myriad of coaches even if Herman and Jimbo didn't want in (again I am a huge Mullen fan and he would have been a perfect fit for LSU). Instead we hire somebody that was supremely unqualified. Somebody that nobody else wanted. Somebody that is considered the worst coach at what is considered a below average SEC school. Twice the guys in charge chose ease, money and comfort over potential, wins and prestige.

Honestly, I think Mullen would have come to LSU after 2015 seeing as he had just lost Dak Prescott, and McElwain had just come off a 10 win season and division title at UF. There was no way in hell he would have lost to Auburn or UF in 2016 and no way in hell his QBs would have played that awful vs Wisconsin and Auburn. By year three we would have had an established QB, offense and defense.

If O fails this year (8-4/7-5/6-6) with Burrow and what should be another top 10 defense at the least, he needs to be let go immediately. If they don't, expect the recruiting to take a huge hit for years to come, and the wins to stagnate at 7-8. It'll be worse if you wait too long. Oh, and can we get an actual coaching search on top of that?
