re: Can TD and the LSU fanbase handle a non splash hire?

Literally does not matter who it is, people will melt when it isn’t their guy.

The reality is most names we see in contention could do great things here. Les and Ed, neither the best coach in the world, had us winning championships. Any name that’s been seriously thrown around is an upgrade. Some would be better than others, yes, but I’ll give the benefit of the doubt until I see the product on the field.

The last HC the most of the fanbase soundly approved of was Curley Hallman.

Dinardo: Never had a winning record at Vandy
Saban: The guy from Michigan St. whose arse LSU kicked in the Independent Bowl? And LSU is paying him $1 million per year?!!!!
Miles: THAT is the best we could do?
Orgeron: Are you kidding me?!!!!!

Everyone wanted Tom Herman at the end of 2016....who is now prominently featured as an "Analyst" for the Chicago Bears...who have the worst offense in the NFL. Now maybe he would have performed much better at LSU than Texas. But it's not like Texas is a resource poor program.

It is to the point now that if the fans are happy something may be terribly wrong.
