Should have never come back to coaching. He had left LSU on very good terms, and was even included in the 2023 Championship celebrations with many players being his recruits. That should have been his ending. I guess he’ll leave a little richer now though.

A little eerie how similar him and Les Miles careers were

Not at all.

Les took over a Ferrari from Saban.

Paul took over a trainwreck from Smoke.

I couldn’t believe USCe hired Mainieri, but Kansas hiring Les Miles made some sense.

I also hope LSU lets him hang around the program like they did before he took the Scar job.


He blew that chance once he took another head coaching job.

Great we will now have to deal with that a-hole Kevin Schnall. Would be surprised if they targeted anyone else

If he really wants to hang around in the game, could give him a special assistant role

He had some incredible hitters during his time here

bullshite people act like Smoke was Hallman or McMahon.
Smoke got the Tigers to the World Series twice in his short time as coach. Yeah the last year was terrible missing the postseason. Paul missed the postseason a couple times himself.

He'll be able to purchase CMM's multimillion $$$ elite-fleet mansion when he's fired and chooses to skip town

He should have applied to mid-major jobs. The SEC is a frying pan.
