I am on tigerdroppings every day. I am very opinionated about the coaches I want and don't want.

I wanted Tom Herman
I hated the Orgeron hire.
I loved the Canada hire.
I had never heard of Brady and was unimpressed.
I thought Aranda was the best defensive coordinator in college football but we rarely had a top defense.

I think I will let our coaches decide who is the best coach and fit for this team. You never know how these coaches will perform especially with the talent that LSU brings to the table.

Let's just let it play out. I think our national championship coaching staff deserves the benefit of the doubt at this point.

Geaux Tigers!!!

Update: This was not the purpose of this thread but here is some objective data on Aranda.
LSU total Defensive Rankings:
2016: 5th
2017: 14th
2018: 26th
2019: 33rd

I agree with your point but not your logic

Because you liked a bad hire doesn’t mean it wasn’t a bad hire.. so Canada kinda shows this isn’t a perfect process

I got to this point in 1999 when Saban was hired. All I knew about him was he got his arse blown out by a Dinardo LSU team in the Indy Bowl. I figured this new guy, Emmert, seems smart, let's give the little guy a chance.

Then UAB happened and I had my doubts. The Tennessee game the next week brought me back around.

Since then, I figure I don't know shite about shite when it comes to CFB coaching hires, and it turns out, neither does the Internet. So now I just sit back and watch what happens.

I wanted Tom Herman - I didn't love Herman, but thought he was a better hire than O.
I hated the Orgeron hire. Definitely agree here. Thought it reeked of settling.
I loved the Canada hire. Mostly liked it.
I had never heard of Brady and was unimpressed. Agree. He was never a high profile guy with the Saints.
I thought Aranda was the best defensive coordinator in college football but we rarely had a top defense. I still think he's one of the best.


So with all that said, I'll let O do his thing. But I still think expecting Curtis Johnson to do anything more than Coach WRs and recruit is a mistake.

When you reach this point with recruiting, you will have achieved the third stage of enlightenment.

Objective huh?
Who was the head coach during this time?
Love O. Want him as long as he wants to be at LSU but some of you want to give him credit for the good and not for the “bad”

Agree. And man, was I wrong.
quote:

Didn't hate it. Just didn't like it.
quote:

loved the Canada hire.
So did I. And in our defense, Canada was the only OC to score points in a 3 season stretch in which the Canada OC game scored 10 points and the preceding and following seasons we scored 0.
quote:

had never heard of Brady
Nor I...
quote:

and was unimpressed.
I was open minded. Anyone from SP's offensive system will automatically pique my interest.
quote:

I didn't think he was the best, but very good.
quote:

but we rarely had a top defense.
Our defense was top enough to keep us in a crapload of games that we should have lost with completely inefficient offensive output. It was never fair for all those years to put so much stress on our defense. It just wasn't fair.
