When Saban left, supposedly they asked him and he didn't think Fisher was ready. If Miles had left in either 2007 or 2010, I think he would have been on the short list.

Most teams won't interview for a head coaching position that isn't vacant.

There was a pretty significant portion of the fanbase who complained about Jimbo.

I remember a good bit of fans complaining about his bubble screens.

I remember an interview with Jimbo after he left LSU after working with Miles for one year saying if I called 4 plays Miles changed 2.
Same shite still going on unfortunately.

What a derpfest.

Chicken Littles were whining about Jimbo too if you don't remember. No one was really thrilled about his performance...maybe that was Saban meddling in the O, making it too conservative though.

So many people on this board were happy to see Jimbo leave simply because he would not open up the offense. Lots of memory loss in this thread.

cause Jimbo NEVER said such a thing


frick some of you


and the reason(s) Jimbo wasn't hired were:

had to be a sitting head coach

wasn't ready

and the fanbase would have fricking flipped, clearly there are people here who are new to the LSU fanbase

On this board and around the state, people were bitching to high heaven about Jimbo and his offense and were glad when he left.

I was about to say this was rantard 20/20 hindsight, but it's not even that. What has Jimbo Fisher done that makes you think he'd have done better here than Miles starting back in 2005?
