We were in a similar situation with Les a few years ago. Instead of being proactive, the powers that be kicked the can down the road and we are at the same place now. At some point, LSU uppers will have to be able to step into the future and act rather than react to the changing market. They better make the right move this time.

If we manage to go 11-2 this year, give him a good bonus, but extending his contract is ludicrous. There is absolutely no reason to do that. ALL that does is make his buyout higher if he had to be terminated. The dude doesn't want to coach anywhere else and no one else wants him to be their HC.

Agreed

There’s no reason to just extend

agree! If we finish 11 & 2, I feel O has earned his paycheck and gets to come back for a 3rd season. But this talk of extension is utterly ridiculous.

Definitely agree.

1. Talent development - I fear he's still living off of the talent Miles brought in. Greedy. White. Fulton. Brumfield. Magee. Lawrence. All Miles recruits. I'm not saying he hasn't brought in some talent but there are some glaring holes.. Cough.. DL.. cough. Next year will give us a much better picture of how he is running the program.

2. Recruiting - He absolutely needs to finish out this recruiting cycle strong. Murmurs of losing yet another elite LA player to Bama and only one defensive lineman and one RB (so far) in the class are concerns. We're like #8 or so now? If we finish outside of the top 4 with the talent in Louisiana this year I'll consider that a failure.

3. Staffing - He needs to make changes on offense. He needs to suck it up and acknowledge E is not the man for the job. I think there needs to be some shakeup with Sullivan, Joseph and Robinson. Outside of those 4 I think the coaches are good. Busch, McMahon, and Cregg we're good hires.

4. Win - He needs to pull this team back up and finish out this season without another loss. That is extremely doable with our remaining schedule.

Bottom line. If he goes 11-2 he deserves a bonus for sure.

If he finishes out the recruiting cycle strong, addresses the offense/coaching situation, and does well next year with more of "his" players an extension is well deserved.
