He was also the associate head coach and running backs coach during this stretch at LSU

2010: 11-2
2011: 13-1
2012: 10-3
2013: 10-3
2014: 8-5
2015: 9-3

Lets just completely disregard that

He’s what, 26-40 as a HC? He's not HC material. I don’t care at all what fans, media, and former players think either.


But but Coach O

But but bad record at Ole Miss

But but it's so easy to get a 3rd year gifted and polished Ohio State QB to transfer here and 2 freak NFL 1st round WRs!

i’d like to think that but you’re already seeing people in the media talking about it as a real possibility

Ask any inside and his chances are slim to none. I've talked to two this week. He'll be retained because of his recruiting prowess.

You think I can get a fluke beat down of Bama and then have him tank everything else, and be safe?


I thought about that too. Best case scenario!

There's a guy on the Coaching Changes board ready to anoint him if he "keeps it close." We thought the same thing after O lost to Florida. Never underestimate the stupidity of the LSU fanbase and administration.

I'm not rooting against LSU for this reason (nor rooting against them at all, I'm a true fan but I digress), Frank loves LSU and would love both to succeed these final 4 games, but you best believe that if we win 4 of the last 5 (including bowl) or God willing go undefeated and take down Bama in their place, that we're going to give him a serious look. I don't want him because it's basically repeating what we did with O, yes we won the natty in 19 and it created memories for a lifetime but it got off to such a rocky start for O Year 1 with feuding with Canada and losing to Mississippi State and Troy then post-19, the bottom fell out so we had to cut bait.

My point is, should we hire Frank full-time, we should be fine short-term but I want sustained long-term continuity, success, and restoration of our Standard on a consistent basis and that comes with hiring of someone like a Saban, like a Kirby, like a Marcus Freeman, like a Kiffin, like a Ryan Day, like a Bob Stoops, like a Lanning, etc. Also, I really don't want a head coach who will be completely dependent on his coordinators to do his job on the sideline, prefer someone with prior playcalling experience on either side of the ball. The Coach O experience reflected so much chaos and dysfunction because of this dynamic. This model works, look at the head coaches of the nation's top teams, follow that blueprint.

What makes you think we would be okay in the short-term if we hired Frank Wilson?

Because he seemingly shares the same traits that Coach O had

Seeing as our new president doesn’t understand what interim means, he will likely be removing that tag soon for Frank even before the Bama game.
