What makes you think I'm whining? As a matter of fact, the person who is acting most like a hysterical little girl in this thread is you. You're taking the criticism personally for some odd reason, then drawing lines in the sand and telling people not to watch the games. It's odd. You should try growing up a little.
Unlike you, some of us are adults that are able to simultaneously remain fans of the team, root for its success, and be critical in respect of executive decisions that have been made.

next year's defense will be the best defense in the history of college football

I've posted this many times, but people need to understand facts.
No HC in the history of college football has started his career as bad as O, and the gone on to win an NC at anytime thereafter.
Like, it's never happened, not once. Coach O winning an NC would be a historic comeback story. I dont trust those kind of odds personally.
I'm sorry i was wrong. 1 coach has started worse than O and won an NC. Thats 1.9% of all NC winning coaches.

Nah we just have the worst fans in the country. I have accepted what has transpired even though I didn't agree with it either but there's nothing you can do about it yet 6 months later people are still bent out of shape about it. That's all LSU fans do is criticize everything even when a team is winning whether it's baseball,football,or basketball. Talk about moving the goalpost. Nobody is ever just happy about anything. It's always "well we should have beat them by more".

How would Bama fans feel if they hired, say, Bo Davis? We can call it even since Davis hasn't failed as a HC. What about if Auburn hired Kevin's Steele? That's what LSU did.

Man I enjoy the passion of us LSU fans.
I can see both sides of this rehash. As I understand it Tom Herman was the main (only?) target and Texas moved to create their opening so that they could target him. I believe the reports are Alleva and Herman had an agreement and then Herman asked for an extension so he could entertain Texas, his reported dream job.
So for those that are "anti Coach O" what should have happened?
-Should Alleva have gotten in a bidding war with Texas?
-Who else was available/attainable with a better track record than O?
I'm open to be persuaded but under the circumstances I can see the O hire as the most logical. Now if he fails in the future, maybe other coaches will be available by then and/or Frank Wilson will have improved his resume enough to bring him home?

At least try to get Texas to overpay.

Literally anyone who wasn't officially 10+ games below .500 as a coach.

Larry Fedora, for one
and i'm not even a huge proponent of Fedora, but he has a much better track record than O as a HC
almost any candidate you could imagine has a better track record compared to O. his HC resume is that bad

You thought he would come into a half arse season and go undefeated? That's what was said he needed to do to win the job.
this narrative was made up Choupique. it was invented, conjured up and downright forged. I am not surprised that you are now repeating it as FACT. not one person associated with LSU ever said he needed to win them all to win the job. NO ONE AT LSU EVER SAID THIS. quit perpetuating the lie.
quote:
Then after Bama it changed to, "well, just beat everyone else." Then after Florida it became, "but he wants the job, and he had this super duper binder with a forward by Pete Carroll."
now you are being ridiculous and inane. I guess you think it clever. you repeat shite said by some joe dumbass on a message board and start regurgitating it as some official position.
this coaching search was much more complex than many people are admitting to. it's not like coach O was our target all along. but, coaching searches are risky and they don't always work out the way they are planned; in fact, the SELDOM DO. ask ala-fricking-bama. they went through how many coaches before Saban fell in their lap?
but never mind all that stuff; it has been rehashed so many times it makes me sick. THE LSU COACHING SEARCH IS OVER. LSU HAS SELECTED A HEAD COACH.
you, your a-hole buddy rickdadio and others will just have to stew and eagerly anticipate the day when you can brag about how right you were all along, yada, yada, yada. just like the miles haters did even after the best record an LSU coach ever had.

Haha yea the rant would have wanted to shoot them selves in the head with that hire as well. Is was Tom Herman or bust for this fan base.

We also could have at least made an attempt to take advantage of the Gundy/T. Boone beef.
Posted on 5/1/17 at 10:45 am to LSU GrandDad
Are you denying that Joe Alleva said, "we have a coach that wants the job"?

Why are you idiots incapable of separating someone questioning a hire from wishing and hoping that hire fails? It's so disingenuous and makes it clear you have no actual valid argument in defense of the hire. You just go straight to the "GO CHEER FOR _______ if you don't like it!" or some other bullshite.

Considering how the local media still didn't totally rule out O as a candidate for the job, it's not hard to connect the dots there.

How can you realistically prove this when there was no real search beyond 2 other guys?

Comparing Coach O to Bo Davis just goes to show how far haters will go in defending themselves. Coach O has been a HC & an interim HC at 2 different major universities. With positive results in both places. Bo started off in the weight room at LSU, followed Saban to the Fins & has been a DL coach the rest of his career. And Bo has nowhere near the reputation as a nation wide recruiter as Coach O does. There is nothing wrong with having an opinion but it's the constant theme of the constant criticism of any LSU HC that keeps popping up that shows some's true colors.
