I'm very glad they didn't go get Mullen. He was one of the 5 guys that I thought could make LSU an absolute monster.


O was not one of the 5.

Most likely so they could keep recruits. As soon as O was named HC we locked up a 4 star QB recruit.

laugh, but Mullen, Fleck, Taggart, Fedora or Fuente all would have brought an offense that would have put full use of Louisiana's homegrown talent on the offensive side.

Miles never could and Orgeron didn't appear to really do it either.

Breh, he had a TE coach as his O coordinator. If he can find someone decent we will see what he can do as a HC.

This. Still think they pulled the trigger too early (even though I am a posi-O).

I'm almost convinced Alleva is purposefully trying to sabotage all of our programs.

It probably was. Most fans hate the pic but honestly most are just fans. Fans lack logic.

Remember when this board knew bama would roll Ohio st? Or Oklahoma? Remember when LSU was getting all the best five players in one cycle? Remember Aggies competing for championships? Remember Saban to texas? What makes you think this crowd is correct this time around?

Bama wraps up an undefeated season and three gumps predictably obsessing over LSU.

My best guess, if he doesn't work out with a year or two then he is hoping to have Aranda available for promotion. I cannot believe he wasn't considered and probably declined it at this time. Aranda will let the turmoil subside then step up if needed. This is my guess

Alleva was trying to save face. He didn't want it to appear he lost Herman so he rushed to hire O before the Texas announcement.

Easy answer. No money and Coach O will work cheap. Could not afford a money battle with Texas.

Other big names ie Fedora, Petrino etc would ask for a lot of money too. (plus it would be embarrassing to hire a College Station native Fedora.)

Three years with Coach O and they will have enough money saved to go after a big name.

Not a slam, just good economics.
