He built, and has impeccably maintained the lambo. He was given the keys to ..... i dunno...something reliable, but that had been incredibly mismanaged and not maintained for years.
He deserves COY as much as any of those other guys...but at this point, I'd go Stoops. His players, his results. O has been great, but you could argue that LSU was underrated. Mullen will have his day soon.
You think a guy deserves COY when he has a team of 5* talent at every position, and has played (up until now) a schedule of unranked teams? How does that make him a great coach? He is SUPPOSED to win with that talent! That's like saying a coach of an NFL team is the best ever because he only plays high school teams and wins every week. Saban could sit on the sideline, under an tiki hut, sipping banana daiquiris thru the entire game, and the result would be the same. This weeks game will be their 1st real test of this season. That being said, LSU is still at a huge disadvantage, talent-wise.

Who in the ever loving frick do you think is responsible for him having that 5* talent?

So this guy could be on the Alabama sideline and beat Gus. I might actually agree with you on that one.

Yes. He built that.

because he built that

No it isn't. You keep forgetting, he built it, and maintaining excellence is almost as difficult as building it.

Honest to goodness, not a chance in hell. There are plenty of folks that could take that same team and lose. His leadership philosophy and perhaps more importantly his actual implementation of that philosophy is just better than everyone elses.

Huge disadvantage? Nope. If LSU wins, advantage O for COY. Between the TOPS program and LSU's lack of legit in state recruiting competition, LSU should have no issues on the talent front, and I'd argue that they actually don't right now.
