Everybody wants to speculate on whether Da CoachO can achieve ten or more wins a year and return LSU to the national elite. That's essential to success at LSU, but a lot more is expected of the Tigers' football HC.
Some recent threads talk about Les Miles being a class act and great representative of the school, despite being goofy at times and, ultimately, needing to be fired. He did some very kind things for sick kids and athletes and seemed to love LSU.
What kind of legacy can we expect from Coach O a decade from now, as a coach, and as a man?

He'll be on a hallman level.

Despised. Thought of as not only a bad coach but a not so good person

The worse coach in Ole Miss football history. The 2nd worst coach in the last century of LSU football.

Most likely, a failure. Even if he gets some 9 win seasons, which would be respectable at most schools, LSU is not supposed to be in that bucket. If he doesn't get multiple 11+ win seasons, he will be seen as the program killer. Earned or not, it's National Championship or bust.

and as a man


He isn't in the same universe in terms of charm as Les. He's more like Bobby Bowden without the skillset, results, or candor. As an LSU graduate, he's the worst public figurehead one could ask for. He is a big fat zero in terms of likableness for anyone outside of Cajun country. "In over his head," will probably be the kind way to remember him. "Buffoon," probably the not so nice way.

I still think he's a politician first, "coach," second so he may wiggle his way around that. You never know. He did get hired, after all.

Actually, this is more properly directed at the O sycophants like you. We have evidence on which to base our assessment. What's yours? Hope and prayer? Great.

The worst football coach in two SEC schools' histories making him the undisputed worst coach in SEC history.

So you compare hiring the coach of a major football power to the lottery? So there is no evidence, and we just throw caution to the wind and hope and pray that it works out?

I mean, yeah I agree, the hiring of O and the likelihood of O winning the National Championship is probably like buying a lottery ticket with some bad odds of winning. Statistically relevant, but basically 0. I'm glad you agree. Let's hope others get on board

A speed bump after a botched departure from Miles.

They should have never retained Miles to fire him a few games into the season. That’s how we got into this mess

He will be the answer to a popular sports trivia question once Danny Etling becomes the next Tom Brady.

“Name all three head coaches Danny Etling played for in college”

It’s going to separate the men from the boys at pluckers on Wednesday nights 20 years from now
