Both won a natty with teams with NFL talent and the #1 overall pick at QB, but seem to fall apart when they leave and have to develop other players.

No, he's dumber. Coach O could never hold down a TV job.

I’m never one to fire a coach but they looked bad.


I think it’s time to end the O era at LSU. Last night was inexcusable the way they looked.

It’s time.

$21M buyout is a steep price to pay.

That definitely seems like the trajectory.

I wouldn’t insult Chizik like that. Chizik at least knows his side of the ball fairly well.

Chizik just needed a heisman QB.

It took O five first round picks, the nfl offensive rookie of the year, and a heisman record breaking QB to win. And I’ll contend that he still almost blew the auburn game.

Plus by all accounts Chizik is a good man off the field. Ogre is a POS off the field.

It’s almost like hiring coaches that have never called plays at a major level to be your offensive and defensive coordinator was a bad idea.

The Joe Brady hire was a complete fluke.

I need to go find my post from when we gave O the contract extension after the NC. It was a horrible decision then by Scott and it looks even worse now.

Maybe, but I'd want to see how the season plays out.

After O, who do you hire? Who takes this job after LSU fired Les Miles (NC winner) and Orgeron (NC winner) while Saban is at Alabama?

Anyone who thinks there will be a line of top-flight coaching talent forgot how bad the last coaching search turned out.

No chizik never failed miserably before getting his biggest job.

On top of that, E called the plays, so at least they had somebody with experience doing that there.

5-19 at Iowa State wasn't exactly an exemplary performance.

He definitely lucked out with Brady and Burrow. But why he can't recruit an OLine is beyond me.
