re: I’ve never seen fans turn against a coach as fast as LSU fans have.

Players have always loved coach O. They loved him at USC, Ole Miss, and LSU. I don't believe, all of a sudden they think, " O is an idiot and I'm leaving". Someone near the program, someone with money has gotten in their ear about something.

I hate to say it, I really do, but having been through it, I think that Coach O's personal life is getting in the way of his job.

You had fans wanting to fire Saban after winning a championship then having a 10 win season... Imagine winning a championship and seeing a season like this at Alabama. You can pretend the fan base wouldn’t act like this but everyone knows that would be a lie.

Ed deserves the chance to right the ship after last year

I was against firing him before the Gilbert transfer rumor (especially with all the covid shite going on and this season being a true outlier for many reasons). However, It's clear that something is very toxic in that locker room and he has lost the players.
Once you've lost the locker room, its over. But now we're kind of stuck with him unless he gets fired for the title IX shite.

In the "be careful what you wish for" situation...Ed gets canned, and Bo takes over.
Then LSU will be the most hated football program in the history of sport.

The Rant can be a very dumb place but keep in mind that LSU's season has been spectacularly bad but actually might have been even worse in a regular year. Why? Because normally LSU doesn't get to play all three of the worst teams from the east.
At this point more than half of LSU's meager win total comes from the two worst teams in the SEC (Vanderbilt and South Carolina), teams that LSU was essentially gifted by the scheduling preferences shown by SEC beaurocrats who favor teams expected to be nationally relevant.
The even more embarrassing outcome of a normal season might have been more losses to Troy or UAB type teams had LSU played those games on top of potentially going 2-6 or 1-7 in conference
The wheels aren't just coming off. We've gone from a national powerhouse to maybe the third worst team in the SEC between January and August. With the possible exception of special teams no coaches appear competent or able to motivate. The team is soft and the roster is extremely thin (which, in spite of his performance at ole miss was argued to be a virtue of hiring CEO). Roster management and team motivation were supposed to be Ed's biggest strengths as a head coach but they are profound weaknesses.
If CEO played any significant role in the failure in title IX reporting associated with Guice he should be fired immediately and the rebuild suffered through. If he was better on that then the reporting leads me to believe then you may have to give him another year in spite of how bad that probably is for the school.
