Where was Houston ranked preseason? I don't remember and they obviously peaked early and got over ranked.

Both Herman and O were gambles to hire and I understand some of your points on Herman. IMO, I preferred him because he showed he can develop a quarterback and an offensive system. I know you're gonna bring up SMU. I would have taken a chance on that guy over a guy who has already failed and hadn't gone to small school and show anything the way Herman did. That's just me though.

It really doesn't matter now though except to all of us dumbasses debating it on a message board.

Eta: We can agree on one thing when it comes to Herman. The kissing thing is fricking stupid.

Yes it is.

Everyone got to see Eaux take over an unranked USC team that was 4-7 in their last 11 and take them to a national ranking and a bowl game. AT A BIG BOY SCHOOL.

Then they got to see him take over an unranked LSU that was 2-2 on the season that had gone 4-5 in their last 9 and take them to a national ranking and a bowl game. AGAIN AT A BIG BOY SCHOOL.

You are such a dumbass. If you clicked the link you would realize that that came from the article.

Someone with a small amount of common sense would have looked at the first sentence of the OP and realize that it was not only in quotations but a continuation of the thread subject.

I haven't looked, is it a full moon tonight? I've seen some weird posts in this and another thread lately.

Yes it is. 

You damn well that's not the way I meant that and you also know damn well it's not the way you said it either.

We've already had the discussion about the interim stints. I don't put any stock into that at all. The pressures of being an interim coach are nothing compared to having your own program.

Did that BIG BOY SCHOOL hire him as a full time HC after he got his arse kicked by their inner city rival???
Were their any BIG BOY SCHOOS looking to hire him in the years between the backstabbing of Miles???
Was Syracuse not BIG BOY enough to not even want to interviewIrgerinafter his BEGGING for one?

Yeah, I don't agree with that. If the interim wants the job on a permanent basis he is going to do everything the previous coach did and more and try like hell to do it better. Which he did.

Eaux is one of very few coaches to take over a team that is failing and turn it into a ranked/bowl eligible team. He is the ONLY coach EVER to do it twice at two separate P5 schools.

This is kind of my point really.

For example, do you think interim coach O would have kicked a field goal on 4th and goal from the 1 in a bowl game? I say no way.

Do you think interim O would have gone into the Auburn game with such a conservative game plan on both sides this year? Again, I don't think so.

Some O supporters have said that he felt pressure to hire a coordinator before last season and he jumped the gun on Canada. I don't know how accurate that is, but it goes along with what I'm saying in that there is a different dynamic in running your own show than being interim.

yeah, I must be off.

I'm not sure what you are trying to convey here. I quoted your post exactly like it was. Not sure how or what I know damn well it's not the way I said it either? What did I say other than "yes it is"?

Didn't mean to get you upset and don't even know what you are upset about.

So a guy who is fighting to win the job on a permanent basis just goes on vacation? How does one improve two teams if they did that?

You know, I think I was the one who started this fake rumor. There was a thread that had a bunch of posters knocking Eaux's intelligence. I thought it was interesting since none of them no a thing about Eaux other than what they have read on the internet.

Anyway, I asked that since Eaux was such an _____, how was it that he wormed his way into the the LSU job. I insinuated that he backstabbed Les. I thought that the idiots would blow it off because it didn't fit their agenda.

Boy was I wrong. Apparently some idiots are still bringing it up as fact.

I honestly have no clue what you're trying to ask here. My thinking is that being an interim coach and the permanent coach being different pressure and challenges, but you responded with a comment about to different interim stints.

Yeah, I've suffered from that recently also. And now it's later.

Going to sign off and watch the baseball game with the sound off. I don't see how someone doesn't go to jail over the vandy whistler guy.

Have a good one.

What they do have is a glut of WR's and a QB (Brennan) whose best attributes are a strong arm and quick release.
Yep. Above all else LSU needs to start passing the ball a whole lot better, and if this is even close to what they are trying to implement (I'm believe it when I see it), then Brennan is the guy to do it.
quote:

That's why I don't buy the whole "QB race is dead even" news. That's strictly out there in an effort to keep 1 or more of the QB's from transferring. And that's completely fine, but Brennan is your QB
I've said this too. It's been Brennan for a while now, this is probably to keep Narcisse here, but I'm sure he's probably gone before the season starts.

That dynamic dual threat QB will seem to forever elude me, but maybe there's a chance to have a good passing attack for once. Again, until I see it, it's all hype.

calling out your hypocrisy doesnt mean i love herman.

you dont give herman credit for his 1st season at houston because you said," that wasnt his program", and then tout an interim tenure for O.

it must suck having your bias and football ignorance on display.
