re: So LSU's AD Suddenly Has The Trust of Fans?

Melting?

Not even close.

Only ONE program the last twenty years has replaced a national title winning coach with another. ONE. And they had the new guy lined up and in the program already (FSU).

EVERY OTHER PROGRAM has had a huge setback when they fire the hall-of-fame guy or his protege- Texas, USC, Miami, Nebraska, etc.

Yet LSU is going to break that streak with the most incompetent AD in the SEC? That doesn't even seem like a possibility. As a Aggie yall firing five-in-a-row Les would be the greatest thing ever personally.

I am NOT trolling and trying to be serious to point out that my concern goes beyond my fandom. I am just trying to figure out where the newfound confidence comes from.

um, LSU replaced one national title winning coach with another, soooo maybe they are the exception the the "rule." Or did you forget Saban and Miles are the last two LSU coaches?

Miles is going to be replaced sooner or later regardless. I'd rather it be sooner before Les lets the program sink further. Les isn't winning another national title either. I'd rather give the next guy a better chance with a program that doesn't need to be rebuilt from the ground up.

And what are you talking about with Miami? Jimmy Johnson and Butch Davis both bolted for the NFL. Miami replaced Johnosn with Erickson who also won a national title. Erickson was fired after Miami was put on probation. Larry Coker won a national title the year after Butch left.
