Blip on the radar. Program will be fine. Good news is we’re not afraid to spend now.

The ‘90s were as rough as they were because of bad and cheap hires and a lack of investment in the facilities. Mike Archer was an assistant who was elevated to head coach, Curley Hallman was a head coach from Southern Miss and Gerry DiNardo was Vanderbilt’s head coach and we still made him take care of his own buyout there.

Nick Saban came because LSU paid him $1.2 million a year, which was unheard of at that time, he got promises on facilities that were kept, we started winning and the powers that be realized how profitable football could be when you win. We’re a national brand in a state that produces a lot of skill talent for its size, and we’re the only Power 5 school in this state. It’s a really attractive job.

Scott Woodward is not Joe Dean or Joe Alleva. He will spend and he knows what he’s doing. We’ll be fine soon.

We don't have that now. And I tend to feel like the amount of injuries that we are facing to key players would derail a season (at least for natty championship expectations) for any good coach. The issue here is that, especially in the KY game, the team has seemingly given up. In the past O seems to have been able to get the team ready to play regardless of the situation. He seems to have lost that ability this year. This is troubling not only for this season but for the future as well if he sticks around.
