re: Is LSU/Ole Miss not a rivalry game?

O was a great recruiter. We had to take a lot of marginal players and remember a lot not making it on campus or past freshman year for off the field issues. Great recruiter but he couldn't get the right coordinators or refrain from micromanaging play calling. He tried to do too much and wasn't equipped to handle it. It's easy to say now but I really don't think he could of ever gotten out of the rut at OM.

Yeah it's definitely possible that he could have gotten Ole Miss "decent". And specifically "decent". He built a solid team but just needed a good quarterback. We never got a chance to see what he could have done with that team.

That being said I don't think we win 9 games in 2008 with O. But I don't see us winning 2 games a few years later with him either.
