re: I’ve never seen fans turn against a coach as fast as LSU fans have.

There was that one moron. He also wanted us to keep Avery and shits all over every game thread with a bunch of insanely stupid hot takes, so I really don't think he's actually an Alabama fan.

Saban bear!

They have to know coach O isn't getting fired this year

AD: "Well Coach, things sure went to hell this year."

EO: "Gurblemlfgargle"

AD: "So what can you do to turn it around?"

EO: "Glrkgargle Mulfle org."

AD: "Ok, we'll give you another year...but you better win!"

EO: "Glrmfgargleglorf."

AD: "That's the spirit, Coach. But one other thing, don't throw your headphones down and act like a fricking Gorilla."

EO: "Glmph"

AD: "Good. We understand each other."

There were a handful of morons and yes, they were morons who shouldn’t be and weren’t taken seriously.


But 10 wins is not 3 wins. You gotta know they would be coming out the woodworks had Saban won 3 games after his first NC @ Bama.

A tremendous opportunity and a tremendous challenge.

Well, what would you say if this was happening at Alabama?

I’d be livid too. But it would be so out of character for Saban. Ed had a rep as a wild boy in his younger days though. You’d think at 61 he would have grown out of the frat star mentality. He had an amazing chance at LSU. I doubt any major program would hire him now, which is wild since he went 15-0 and won everything in sight less than a year ago

I hate to say it, I really do, but having been through it, I think that Coach O's personal life is getting in the way of his job.

It was shocking he even allowed that picture to be taken

You had fans wanting to fire Saban after winning a championship then having a 10 win season...

No you didn’t

The Rant can be a very dumb place but keep in mind that LSU's season has been spectacularly bad but actually might have been even worse in a regular year. Why? Because normally LSU doesn't get to play all three of the worst teams from the east.

At this point more than half of LSU's meager win total comes from the two worst teams in the SEC (Vanderbilt and South Carolina), teams that LSU was essentially gifted by the scheduling preferences shown by SEC beaurocrats who favor teams expected to be nationally relevant.

The even more embarrassing outcome of a normal season might have been more losses to Troy or UAB type teams had LSU played those games on top of potentially going 2-6 or 1-7 in conference

The wheels aren't just coming off. We've gone from a national powerhouse to maybe the third worst team in the SEC between January and August. With the possible exception of special teams no coaches appear competent or able to motivate. The team is soft and the roster is extremely thin (which, in spite of his performance at ole miss was argued to be a virtue of hiring CEO). Roster management and team motivation were supposed to be Ed's biggest strengths as a head coach but they are profound weaknesses.

If CEO played any significant role in the failure in title IX reporting associated with Guice he should be fired immediately and the rebuild suffered through. If he was better on that then the reporting leads me to believe then you may have to give him another year in spite of how bad that probably is for the school.
