HC Careers after LSU
Ed Orgeron - Last seen trying to fight some kids off of 30A.
Les Miles - 3-18 record (1-16 conference) at HC position after being fired by LSU.
Nick Saban - 15-17 NFL Record after leaving LSU. Luckily given a second chance by an athletic program in shambles after having to fire their HC after only one winning season in conference play (Dubose), having a coach stolen by Texas A&M (Fran), firing a coach for using the university credit card at strip clubs during SEC Media Days (Price), and hiring some kid whose only qualification was his last name (Shula).
Gerry DiNardo - 2-8 as XFL Head Coach (worst record in league); 8–27 (3–21 in conference) as subsequent college HC position.
Curley Hallman - Next HC position was at Muscle Shoals HS in Alabama 10 years after being fired by LSU. Never posted a winning record as Muscle Shoals HC.
Mike Archer - Never held an HC position at any level after being forced to resign from LSU.
Bill Arnsparger - Never held an HC position after resigning from LSU. Notable achievement though - took over as AD at Florida and hired Steve Spurrier.
Jerry Stovall - Never coached again after being dismissed by LSU.
Charles McClendon - Never coached again after LSU
Paul Dietzel - To date, the last LSU coach to have a winning record at any HC stint immediately after LSU. Went 21-18-1 at Army from 1962-1965.

I was expecting you to make a sick joke about the coach hired to replace McClendon. Thankfully, you did not.
Anywho, Forty Minutes to Baton Rouge is a great book about Bo Rein and a life cut too short.

"If there was one thing professionally that I would do over again, it would've been not to leave LSU."

yeah he retired

he also retired from coaching

Nick Saban
we really including him? really?
The common theme with the rest seems to be guys who were fired didn't do well at another job. That seems to me to just show LSU did the right thing by firing those guys
If you're losing a bunch of coaches who are having success somewhere else after they're no longer your coach, that's not something I'd be bragging about. Paul Deitzel is the last coach to leave LSU without being fired to take another college HC job, and back then West Point was the best job in college football.
Cool thread, though
But let's do Georgia
Mark Richt - hired at Miami, lasted three seasons, not coaching anymore
Jim Donnan - fired, never coached again
Ray Goff - fired, never coached again
Vince Dooley - never coached again
Johnny Griffith - fired, never had a HC position again
Wally Butts - never coached again
You're going to see similar trends for basically every major program with a healthy amount of historical success. Coaches generally leave those programs for retirement or are fired for not being good coaches. Some find less than desirable jobs, and others never find HC jobs again. Coaches who are fired from major programs very rarely find success elsewhere...because they were fired for good reasons and those reasons aren't because they were good football coaches. The outliers are few and far between

Verifying.
InfoChecker™ has program glitch which prevents it from verifying facts that could put LSU in a bad light.

No school can say that.

You said all that to say that 4 of the last 10 coaches @ LSU have a natty in the trophy case... Man what a piss poor effort @ a troll job. Like your moms basement, your troll game needs some work

And the last 2 coaches (who each won a NC) were fired a few years later.
DEFINITELY no school can say that.

Les was fired nearly 10 years after he won a national title.

How many others schools could a Les Miles or an Ed Orgeron win a National Title? 2 or 3?
Posted on 5/10/22 at 2:00 pm to Murph4HOF
What is the point of this?
Coaches come here and win national titles, I honestly don't give a shite what happens career wise after they are gone.

How many, of A&M's coaches won a national title there?
Y'all ain't shite, and have never been shite.
Go build a bonfire or something

I guess we could hire a bunch of losers and approach 100 years between championships.
Ya, I'll pass on that.

Thanks for the good laugh we’re the ones that turn regular coaches into champions is what the truth is. Dumb arse
