I am not saying that Joe made the best hire possible but if you are looking at the development of our football team over the last 2.5ish years and you still don't think O is at the very least a "qualified head coach" then you have your head in the sand.

went 6-2 against a pretty meh schedule in 2016.
beat the breaks off the heisman winner, that was a plus.

2017 started with a bang, then got bad real quick with the worst loss in the 90 year LSU ms state rivalry and then reached its nadir with a 24-21 loss to a mid major that wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicates.

2018 saw improvement by virtue of the fact that the bar was lowered by 2017's up and down season. some of the contenders (preseason top ten miami, auburn) turned out to be pretenders, and even in a 36-16 drubbing of UGA, LSU found a way to leave points on the board with 5 FGs inside of 40 yards. anyone in that stadium that day who says they weren't nervous at 19-9 is a bonafide liar.

he also improved recruiting this year from last year by virtue of signing a class so mediocre, that 4 of the players from it have already been processed out. he struck gold this year with some studs, but again, the improvement was only because the bar was lowered by his own doing.
