Sorry, but O is a damned fool for hiring him. Geezus H. Way to go Coach Corndog.

How do? I know you’re upset, but be logical. Again, none of this is a shocker. We hired someone who failed miserably at administering a program. Is it a surprise that he is unable to administer a program? I know a lot of you think that coaching is just a rah rah pump everyone up thing, but major college programs are multi-million dollar businesses. O is unable to lead one. Sorry your feelings are hurt.

This takes us one step closer to getting rid of Alleva imo. The financial mistakes with the golden goose of the athletic department are adding up.

Orgeron finally has all the rope he needs to hang himself. Happy trails Coach 0. Happy trails...

Someone needs to tell Canada he is not a head coach!

Give me Ensminger, Cameron, or Crowton any day.
Have you ever watched any of the games with your eyes open? LSU had chances to beat 'Bama this season, but did not have a QB who could get it done. The offense, for the first time in years did not look moribund against the Gumps. 0 is a freaking MORON for hiring him if this was the result. And, if he hires Ensminger then its likely that LSU drops 6 games next year.
Can anyone on this board and I mean anyone, explain how LSU tries to hire JImbo Fisher twice and fails, but the Aggies swoop him up like it was nothing? I can explain. There is NO leadership at LSU. None. It is a political viper pit where the admin plays favorites. Sound familiar. The school has no care about winning. 0.

A few explanations: Alleva, DumbassKingAlexander, gutless powerless BOS, Louisiana politicians getting involved, maybe even a partially lazy fan base who isn't demanding enough.
As you said, true leadership vacuum. We need a headstrong LSU leader who isn't all about personal gain optics. I just have no real confidence that we'll ever get that back as we were lucky to find lightning in a bottle once.

Very easy. TAMU's admin and Alumni are smarter, more wealthy and more committed to winning than LSU's.

This may go really poorly are really well.
It's obvious Canada was overhyped.
I wouldn't be surprised if Ensinger gets the job, because you know Louisiana good ole boy politics.
Dream Scenario: Lure Kiffin with a salary equal or higher to Canada's which is more than Kiffin gets now. And tell Kiffin O is on his way out, so Kiffin can be HC later.

Stupid unnecessary comment...endangers LSU chances of beating ND

The whole controversy is being mishandled, regardless of the underlying merits of the move.
And, yes, that could very well have an effect on team's preparation/ readiness for the game.

Very easy. TAMU's admin and Alumni are smarter, more wealthy and more committed to winning than LSU's.
I also think the football coaching hires for both schools mirror their political situations and habits. TAMU(Texas), identified the most talented and proven coach who was was available, made an offer at market value and hired their guy. No state ties, no program ties. Just the most proven coach they could possibly hire. LSU(Louisiana) bumbles around, embarrasses itself with poor PR and poor leadership, hires a local good ole boy for a position they are unqualified for as a bargain hire, and it will end up costing the program more money in the long run.
Very symbolic of the way the two states operate imo.

Let me first say that I think it is a bad move letting Canada go.
However, this statement after the Sumlin hire, Chavis Hire, and overall underperforming football program is ridiculous. I also think Fisher will not have any more success IMO.
ATM alumni may be richer is true, but they are still fu#@$^* AGGIES so they are not smarter.

Sumlin was a good hire. It didn't work out, but it was a better hire than we made.

Chavis Hire
Also a defensible hire.

Compared to what? They play in the hardest division of football and aren't an established power like Bama, LSU, Auburn.

Both were excellent hires on paper. Did not work out, but they were definitely making hires to try to compete.

Who knows. Doesnt matter. They still hired the best available coach they could get at the time. When you have the chance to hire a coach who has won a NC, a heisman winner, #1 recruiting classes etc, you do it.

Ive been hearing Aggie jokes my whole life as well, but time to face reality. TAMU is 100x better university than LSU.

Sumlin ultimately failed and went through QB's, Offensive Coordinators, and then D.C's. He was never terrible but he continually underachieved.

There is something to say about the culture of a place. I think ATM is has a lot of positives, but their culture is just weird to me. I know some people love it, but it is not for me.

That has nothing to do with it being a good hire at the time. And I still don't understand why you say they underachieved.

If O is going to make this move, you may as well throw the kitchen sink at Jim Chaney and see if he's willing to take a lateral from Georgia although them being in the playoffs is obviously problematic. Chaney gives you a QB developer and he was on the TN staff with Orgeron and Cregg so they know one another. Chaney is making $850k at UGA.
You want to hire the best, at least try to get one of the best, especially when it comes to QB developers, before considering promoting Ensminger.
