re: After calm reflection

Meh. "What Fisher is doing." They finished 8-4. They're not going to a NY6 bowl, LSU probably is. They beat LSU in 7 OTs by a you know what's hair, and with a lot of help. Yes, they won. Scoreboard. Fine. Does that mean that A&M will now from henceforth win more games than LSU, etc.? No, it doesn't.

I will be totally honest in stating that if I had been in charge, I would've hired Fisher in either one of the two Alleva-botched coaching "searches"/hires. And still, in my heart of hearts, would prefer him to Orgeron. Doesn't mean however that just b/c A&M won a game in 7 OTs, and yes, with a lot of help, means that they're headed in the right direction, LSU isn't. "Two ships passing in the night" as one poster put it. Give me a break. Fisher isn't Saban, and A&M isn't Alabama.

With Saban at Alabama and what Fisher will be doing at A&M and Mullen at Florida, I could easily see LSU getting left behind over the next 2-5 years.

My friend texted me after the game and brought up an interesting stat:

The SEC has four really good/great coaches in Mullen, SAban, Smart, and Fisher. O lost 3/4 in head to head this year. That's pretty concerning for our future if that trend continues.
