Any thoughts on Hugh Freeze? I know he has some baggage, but dude can flat out coach college ball. Is he deserving of a second chance at a SEC school? Beat Bama twice at Ole Miss. Can you imagine the results he could have with the talent level LSU attracts?

We would definitely have an offense built to beat Bama if Hugh was pulling the reins.

Any thoughts to Coach O reaching out to Hugh Freeze to fill the OC position?

Convince me that Jimbo is the BEST man for this job. Still on the fence. Haven't been very impressed with him at FSU. Yeah he won an NC, but so did Miles. Will he be capable of competing in the SEC West week in and week out? This is not the ACC. He only has Clemson and maybe Louisville to contend with each year. Not quite the same as facing Ole Miss, TAM, Auburn, Bama, Ark every year.

Saban may disagree with you now about LSU fans being the worst about having "Catastrophe Syndrome". Bama fans can dish it out just as well. Try listening to the Finebaum show one afternoon and you'll see.

After the entire debacle that was Jameis Winston at FSU, I'm not sure I would trust Jimbo Fisher.

SEC titles for any team in the SEC West in most years require a W against the team from Tuscaloosa. If you can't beat Bama, there will be no trip to Atlanta. And no trip to Atlanta usually means no trip to the NC or the playoffs. Though Les has had a good record against winning teams in his tenure, he does struggle in the games that count every year. Ole Miss, MS State, Arkansas and Auburn have had wins against a LSU team that should have easily won. Too often we seem to play down to the level of competition on the other side of the ball.

Les has repeatedly scored excellent recruiting classes and there can be little argument against the level of talent we have on both sides of the ball year in and year out. I can only imagine what a hungry and eager coach would be capable of accomplishing given the talent resources at LSU every year.

Combine all of the above with the poor game plans, lousy, conservative play calling, clock management issues, off field incidents and Les' easy-going never get pissed off about losing attitude and it's no wonder that there is a big level of frustration in the fan base. And until Les decides to really get after his players and demand better, that he will gets his nose out of the offensive play calling and he increases his level of intensity and quits "settling" for quality losses (if there is such a thing), LSU will never be relevant again.

The continued comparison to Saban and Bama is because they are relevant every year with same amount of talent that LSU has every year. If they can do it, why can't LSU? Until Les is able to correct the issues and "really" be relevant every year, LSU will continue to be left out of the SEC Championship and the NC / playoff picture. And as great a guy as LES is, I don't see this trend changing. I'd rather be relevant every few years and potentially win a NC than to continue to have "quality" winning seasons every year. Excuse me for thinking a quality winning season included a SEC Championship and a shot at the NC.

Hudspeth is no Curly 2.0. curly wishes he could be that good.

But I digress. I thought that maybe I was responding to someone that actually has a clue.

ULL head coach Mark Hudspeth. Look at his record and watch some of his teams in action. He's already shown that he can recruit well in Louisiana. He'd bring some new energy and swagger to Death Valley.

Nick was 1 second away from possibly going back to the SEC Championship and another Nat'L Championship last year. We certainly weren't even in consideration last year. Or the year before, or this year...
