Not yet, but the potential is clearly there. We were 2-3 after a close home loss to LSU before the wheels came completely off. The only difference was that we lost to MSU and you didn’t. And y’all have a shitton more raw talent than we did that year.

A bad loss to UK next week may make it inevitable, and your team shows signs of packing it in. 4-8 isn’t significantly better than 3-9.

The problem is the massive buyout he was given. It wasn't necessary.

For better or worse, this is O's dream job. He wasn't leaving LSU.

Said this immediately after 2019: y’all could have given him a hefty bonus and eliminated the buyout on both ends, and sweetened the pot with a multimillion dollar retention bonus a few years down the road like OU did with Stoops a few years back.

Instead your AD got bent over by the Rosy Finch Boyz even worse than AU did with Sexton and Gustav. And you’re hoping that a bunch of ugly scandals being brought to light will bail you out. Not a good look.

He's Mike DuBose made over.

Born in Alabama, played at Alabama under Bear, defensive line coach under Stallings. No experience as a head coach above the high school level and only one season as a coordinator but Bama fans largely loved the DuBose hire because "he's one of us."

He rode a brilliant player (Shawn Alexander) to one season of success but otherwise fielded poorly disciplined and mediocre or downright bad teams. He also engaged in embarrassing personal behaviors off the field (extramarital affair with a staffer that ended with a lawsuit).

Sound familiar?

All this.

And DuBose’s downfall started with an opening game blowout road loss to UCLA too
