I want him gone and it is very easy to dislike him now.

But how will you feel about Coach O years later (even if is gone for Title XI)?

Deep down inside I will always be grateful for his contributions and genuine love of Louisiana and LSU. He went out & got Burrow and Brady and made it happen. 2020 was much sweeter than 2007 and 2004 (IMO).

He clearly collapsed without elite coordinators, and could not handle coaching after the ultimate success.

It was easy to hate on Les towards the end, but will always remember him on a very positive note.

His smile fair as spring, as towards him he draws you

His tongue sharp and silvery, as he implores you

Your wishes he grants, as he swears to adore you

Gold, silver, jewels – he lays riches before you

Dues need be repaid, and he will come for you

All to reclaim, no smile to console you

He’ll snare you in bonds, eyes glowing’, a fire

To gore and torment you, till the stars expire

I’ve come full circle and I’m back to where I was on Thanksgiving night 2016. I think he’s an idiot and the LSU job is too big for him. Thanks for the memories, Edward!

If he’s gone for Title XI why would anybody think of him “fondly” he would have been found negligent of not reporting sexual assault and/or covering it up.

Let me help you out. 2003, 2007, and 2019 are the years when we won national championships recently.

If they ever make a 30 for 30 documentary on this fiasco, I don’t know if I will be weeping or LMFAO when the credits roll.

That 15-0 will seem like a dream after three years of the next Herman or Hallman.

Ed is a fraud and this season has shown it. He can’t right the ship because like his fat troll buddy Derek he falsified his credentials to pilot it

As someone who is his own worst enemy. He needs to go, but I feel very bad for the guy. He made bad decisions and those decisions are going to be the cause of him crashing and burning. Many people never recover from the downward spiral he is currently experiencing. Prayers for him.

O made this all happen. You can't take that from him no matter how many people will try in hindsight. He was the perfect guy to take over a stale program and stale coach.

That said, his shtick and what may be his own demise as well, is that he was always a motivate your guys and get them to play hard for you type of coach. That works only to an extent until it turns into the, "everyone has a plan until they get hit" circumstance. In 2018 & 2019, we had the plan and the execution. We did both. This year, nowhere close and I think you are seeing that no amount of rah rah anywhere can overcome a lack of x's and o's. Strategy beats motivation over time. It's like a New Years Resolution.

Love O. Hope he stays and gets a chance to right this wrong. This year is an anomaly anyway when it comes to athletics anywhere. That said, paying him $8m+ was a complete travesty to be a motivational speaker. We were sitting pretty when he was making $2M. That didn't even crack the Top 25 of Head Coaches last year and gave some room to hire the X's & O's. The financial game we are playing now paying him what we pay is just not smart business. If he wanted to test the market, you let him test the market.

As the guy who brought in Brady and changed the LSU world in 2019.

I think that this year, we've discovered what we probably already knew even though...........LOL.........I haven't been watchin that shite cause frick woke players.

He may well go out and find another Brady type and do it again. Who knows?

But....and this is important. Unlike Miles, at least there's SOME frickING CHANCE he'll do that as opposed to shove his head up his own stubborn arse and refuse to make any changes outside of his comfort zone. On that note alone, he should be remembered more fondly than Les Jerk arse.
