Can't wait for LSU Football season. Quick look at LSU Head FB Coaching history. Looking back at last 11 Tiger Head FB Coaches thru 1955 only 2 had double digit number of seasons: CMcClendon 18 yrs & LMiles 12 yrs. Tiger Head FB coaches 4 had 4 years and 2 had 5 years. The average tenure is 6.5 seasons.
Of the 11 Head Coaches only 3 left LSU on their terms, NSaban went to the Dolphins, BArnsparger took the Florida AD job and PDietzel left for Army. The other 8 HCs were relieved of their duties, including 2 who won National Championships.
Best LSU HC SEC winning %: BArnsparger .778, BKelly .708, NSaban .700, LMiles .689, EOrgeron .674, PDietzel .614, CMcClendon .603, MArcher .556
Best LSU HC Overall %: LMiles .770, NSaban .750, BArnsparger .750, BKelly .738, EOrgeron .718, CMcClendon .682, PDietzel .651, MArcher .598, GDiNardo .570, JStovall .511
If there are any errors please let me know. Data from Wikipedia List of LSU Tigers head football coaches.
Go Tigers !

TLDR; I’m either very sorry that happened or very happy for you.

Dallas Morning News predicted LSU loses to aggie and horn this year and Kiffin bolts to USC.

quote:

Sept. 26, Texas A&M at LSU Do you know why A&M played in Baton Rouge every year from 1960-75? Same reason they played at Rice Stadium annually from 1957-67. Money. One of the nation’s biggest revenue producers once made more off gate splits from larger venues on the road than it did in home games. That’s not why they’re playing at Tiger Stadium for the second year in a row. Simply an SEC scheduling quirk. Love Lane Kiffin’s steal of former Arizona State QB Sam Leavitt, but Marcel Reed outduels him. Once more the Aggies survive a walk through the valley of the shadow of death, or something like that. A&M 31, LSU 28


quote:

Nov. 14, Texas at LSU This makes two trips in as many months to New Orleans, which has more good food per capita than any city in the nation. I mean, Clancy’s and Patois are a block apart in the Garden District. Get the lump crab salad at Clancy’s to go, then walk down the street for the pecan-crusted snapper. You’re welcome. Losing twice in the same season at home to Texas teams makes Kiffin think twice about the food, and he agrees to replace Lincoln Riley at USC, once again foiling Gary Patterson’s succession plans. Texas 32, LSU 24

Les Miles is the best LSU football coach in the history of LSU football, and he should be recognized as such.

If we looked at merely the stats and were blindfolded as to which coach at which stats, most people would choose Lesticles as such.

So in other words, the facts don’t matter?

This reads like someone who went down some weird rabbit hole while tripping on Vyvanse.

Also I was always an Arnsparger fan

Stovall with lowest yet he’s got a heavy hand into reasons why Arnsparger and Archer have such good records. Recruiting. No one did it like Jerry.
