You're showing recruits change is coming on offense and they will continue to be able to recruit WR's and get better QB's or actually utilize the QB's talent.

You are letting candidates know there is an opening.

Keeping Les and the anemic offense wasn't going to help. They are obviously looking to salvage the season and move forward.

Why keep him for the whole season when the entire fan base is angry, boosters are done with him, and his players are screaming at him on the sideline.

It was the correct move. You may not like it but not sure you appear to be extremely agitated over a rival program.

You would think you would be cheering the move if t was so horrible. Lol

No, you are showing recruits the guys who recruited them might not be around next year and that there is no certainty who will be there.

They don't need months of vacancy "to know." A few weeks in December is enough. There is no proof more time than that helps anything. Actually I could see Herman getting tired of denying it for months as he prepared to a playoffs run while LSU fans demand some sort of certainty.

Yeah but in that is the implication that they fricked up for not firing him earlier, hence my questions about the timing.

You don't understand how this forum works.

Yep, can't have players visibly angry to the point of questioning the HC on the sideline during a fricking game. That's bad optics for any HC, especially a HC who entered the season on the hot seat.

I agree.
