Yes I did think it was the best hire compared to what we had hired in the last 40 years outside of Saban. However, I was fooled by the impressive resume and didn’t realize he was so bad in big games at the time. Still given the options LSU has when we fire coaches, he was one of the better options without taking a chance on an up and comer.

I think everyone here thinks that LSU gets to pick whatever coach they want and that everyone would willingly leave and come coach here and that just has not been the case over and over again.

Every time we fire someone we seemingly get played by the bigger names, Tom Herman/Lincoln Riley. I mean we fired our head coach to promote our defensive coordinator to HC, because we couldn’t get any coaches to take the job. And we lucked into a NC with Joe Burrow.

What time do they normally arrive?

I know this topic has been beaten to a pulp, but LSU reporters keep letting him off the hook. At his presser, they asked him why didn't he kneel it on 3rd down, instead of stating a more straight forward question.

Why not simply ask him, given that you kicked the field goal, why did you choose to leave time on the clock?

I still don't think he realizes that he could have left no time on the clock.

Nonsense. Jimbo specifically said that all of the 5 stars running to college station has zero to do with NIL. Saban has preached that NIL is being applied in a way that was never intended so you know his ethics and principles will prevent him from recruiting players using NIL in any manner other that it was originally intended. Gotta love these two. Saban basically calls out Jimbo/A&M for buying recruits, and Jimbo fires a warning shot across the bow by saying that Saban shouldn’t be throwing stones when they were both part of cheating when they were on the same staff. Saban doubles down on statements while trying to outdo Jimbo by tampering with potential transfers and finding his own innovative ways to misuse the intent of NIL.

Next level chess by Jimbo and Saban

I did and have been saying it since October.

I was downvoted like crazy too!

This is the first time since I've been a fan where I can be proud of LSU's administration, prior to this hire, it's been such a display of incompetence

He always has a history of staying at 1 school for a very long time. I think he will finish his career coaching at LSU, and not jolt to NFL or another opportunity.

Yeah he may be 60 years old, but likely to coach until 70 so we have 10 solid years of 1 of the best coaches in CFB, you can't ask for better than that.

Was downvoted to no end, but this is a home run hire.

He is by far the best option out there outside of Saban or Meyer. Look at the resume
