re: Blaming the fans for reacting negatively to poor decision making

However, those patterns you refer to are based on mathematical algorithms only and not opinions of people and their ability.

Not when judging people, hiring for positions, etc.

And often, people will turn subjective items into objective measurements and try to evaluate that. That is a fair approach, although certainly open to flaw and interpretation.

The sample size of O’s past H coaching career is simply not a large enough to use in a predictive argument or formula.

Well, if all you want to only use his career win/loss record, sure. But again, using a single point or determination is misguided.

If you look at O's:

Career W/L
Age
Lack of National Interest
Lack of Skill coordinating either side of the ball
The way he re-uses empty rhetoric - "One team one heartbeat", the Drum
How he presents himself to the media
His lack of program vision
The questionable hires of Canada (process?), DP, Ensminger, etc.
His record at Ole Miss
His only success coming via Interim Sets which are different skill sets
The way he lays blame
The way his hiring was handled

Together, that does not paint a good picture, and does represent both a risky hire and a risky trajectory for LSU. It isn't doom and gloom but given O's history, what would be least surprising: 1) O trending downwards over the next 2 years 2) O competing for a national championship in 2 years ?
