re: O Pumpers, why do you want him as the HC of LSU?

College educated, LSU grad, here that wants O as our head coach. I'm not a pumper by any means but i'd like to see him get the job because I've been extremely impressed with the turn around the program has made under his watch.

I'm realistic enough to know that college football is a strange game and nothing is a given. That's the reason the young men line up and play the game each week. So many on here act like they know everything about every team and who will win every game yet the Pitts of the world still beat Clemson, and Iowas still beat Michigan, etc. Just like "home run hires" don't always pan out. As Georgia fans after one season...in an Instagram world fans are too fickle and want instant. I think Herman would be a good hire, but there are no guarantees. Jimbo has been decent at Fsu with the exception of one year he had a freak qb magician. We had consistently decentwith Miles. I look at the sutuation through realistic eyes unlike some of you who just blindly believing that some of these coaches are the magic unicorns.

People bring up his Ole Miss record and yes it wasn't good at all. But that's only one piece of the puzzle. When I first got the job I have I wasn't really great at it, I had to learn from lots of talented people above me and around me what it took to be great at it, and implemented those best practice scenarios. This is much like O says he has done. He's learned under some of the best and you can see that it has paid off. He has slowly unworn a team that looks as talented as I believed they were at the start of the season. He is a hometown guy (in state) and that's not homerism or old boy syndrome it's the belief that in college football, where recruiting the best and most talented in state, it would go a long way having a guy who gets the passion of the state trying to keep them here.

I'm proud of the way we've played. I've enjoyed watching again, and love the idea of continuity and an easy transition. In college football I believe it pays dividends.
