re: Question for Ole Miss fans about O

When we ended up with O, he was like our 7th choice. Most of the guys at the top of our list wouldn't even interview. Then ones that did ultimately took better jobs. To me, having to pick O was a sad indictment of our program.

For LSU, it was a similar situation. But I saw it more as an indictment of their fan base and administration. Incredibly unrealistic expectations combined with an incompetent administration made the job toxic. LSU's two "targets" were never coming there. Aleva staked his job on either Herman or Jimbo. When they melted on him he literally didn't have anywhere else to turn.

Aleva is just as much a dead man walking as O. He should go first. Then O will eventually get canned.

But the problem won't change. LSU can't attract the handful of coaches who would be acceptable to the delusional fan base. It is a vicious cycle.
