Why are you posting on a Sunday morning?

I would've thought you would be rewatching that thrilling bowl win vs Louisville...

Oh, wait, I meant that great bowl win in 2018 vs Iowa...

Oh wait again, I meant that incredibly exciting win vs Louisville after the 2017 season...you know, the one where the greatest coach in State's history couldn't wait to bail for Florida.

You know, there is a reason y'all are referred to as Mistake.

Former LSU AD Joe Dean, with decades of experience in & around the SEC, once called former football HC Gerry DiNardo the most intelligent HC he ever met. He graduated with multiple high honors from N.Dame. DiNardo was a horrible HC, at Vany & LSU.

THis just isnt true.


He did pretty damn good at LSU compared to his predecessor. And he laid the foundation for success that got Saban to want the job.

There's no way Saban would have left Michigan State for the LSU that Hallman left.

What does intelligence and football have to do with each other? 95% of football is being better than the other guy. Every now and then you get the 5% unexpected thing like Malzahn putting the punter at WR, but that only works when you’re already in the game.

It's Proot.

Couple years from now when you start putting everything together and realize he Keysor Soze'd your arse you're going to hate yourself for not seeing it sooner. (I'd capitalize the S in sooner for extra word play credit if I didn't think OU was determined to find a way to back out of the Vols coming out party this year).

Completely unrelated, anyone feel like overwhelming anxiety over the possibility of no football in the fall is affecting your outlook or behavior? Asking for a friend.

I got to handed to Coach O, won the national championship, divorced his wife, then signed a new contract. Smart move.

It didn’t take a genius to see what could be done at LSU

Excellent thread!
Immediately the fans of certain schools start taking offense to a non-confrontational post...I wonder why.

Mike Leech is a pretty smart guy. Quirky, but smart.

And your brilliant coach led Auburn to such a valiant effort vs powerhouse Minnesota in the Outback Bowl.

It must suck to have NEVER won a team national championship in ANY sport in Mistake's ENTIRE history.



If Auburn plays 2nd fiddle to Alabama, then what fiddle does Mistake play? 60th? 75th? 100th? It must really suck to have to ride another school's dick to try to "zing" a message board poster because your own program is so historically inept.

Yeah, Leach has a law degree. I think he is the answer, as odd as it sounds

Leach has a law degree and went to Pepperdine.

So yeah, probably him.

He was also able to see into the future where he threw away his well-paying job and took a trip to Finland to coach some football there, and somehow that all worked out real well for him.

How can you say SABAN?

He has a definite problem with getting his butt kicked with 1 second on the board. Can't teach how to have less than 10 or more penalties a game ...a can't find a Field Goal Kicker that understands that hitting the upright doesn't count.

But of course he cries like a baby enough to get a meaningless rule change made up.
