re: LSU just embarrassed the entire SEC…it was freaking Houston

Who was a better option?

For a “filthy rich” boosters school?

Cignetti, Sark, Lanning, DeBoer, Day, Smart, etc.

Heck, even Cristobal (sp?) beat A&M on their home field in the biggest A&M game in decades.

If you can’t get one of them, why not spend a lot less money on a guy who hasn’t proven that he can’t win a big game over a decade plus of coaching and put the money into the roster? UGA hired Smart, OSU hired Day, Oregon hired Lanning, even Texas hired Sark…all were coordinators when they were hired.

That happened after LSU made their hire, you would've been saying he had no postseason wins just like you are with Kiffin and probably pointing to Kiffin as a better option.

Why make a cheap, lazy hire and take a chance on someone if you don't have to?

Facts are not what we are focused on right now. Just pure trolling. Go with it.

? Quoted straight facts that LSU had options, including going with a coordinator.

I would have been pretty frustrated if Bama had hired Kiffin. He may win a playoff game at some point, but he isn’t wired to handle 3-4 straight games against elite competition to win a Natty. I’d prefer not to enter a season essentially knowing we have no shot at a natty due to our coach (jury is still out on DeBoer).

Thanks, LSU…is there no end to your suckage?

---

Sorry. As a fan, let me assure you that LSU will indeed get better.

Now, if only we can get you to quit sucking your uncle. That would be great.

None of the coaches you listed were a viable option. None. It is not just a financial decision. They have to be willing to move on to another opportunity if it suits them. Kiffin was willing.

Guess you guys aren’t quite as “filthy rich” as you think if you’re laughing about coaches at Indiana and Oregon being options. Remind me how many NCs those 2 have combined in the past 50 years?

---

I never said LSU was "filthy rich."

Oregon is already a program with elite resources so no reason for Lanning to leave unless he just wants to be back in the SEC.

Cignetti just signed a massive extension.

Read my next post. Imagine telling OSU, Oregon, UGA, and Texas that their current hires were cheap and lazy No wonder your administration is the way they are! You’re entire fanbase doesn’t understand coaching searches

Who was the supposed coordinator that fits this mold?

Lots of coordinators got jobs this cycle. LSU just doesn’t have the administration that UGA, Oregon, OSU, and Texas have, apparently. Can’t identify the next big name and took a lazy and expensive hire over finding the next natty winner at LSU (I’ll be sure to eat crow if Kiffin ever wins a natty at LSU).

But hey, at least it knocked your rival down a notch and might get you an additional win each year. Expensive win, but might be the difference in 9-3/10-2 vs 7-5/8-4 in a 9 game conference schedule.

That’s the question your administration should have been finding the answer to and giving a shot to coach.

Both Oregon coordinators got jobs, Hartline from OSU got a job, etc. Teams like LSU won’t hire them due to the fanbase reactions, so now they have to go prove themselves in the lower ranks. But you guys won’t hire from there either, so you miss on a Cignetti or DeBoer type coach. You steal ND’s and now Ole Miss’s coaches who haven’t won big games using tons of money and then wonder why it doesn’t work (I guess that’s a step up from the Ed O hiring process?). It’s pretty funny, tbh.

Yeah, one went back to his alma mater, and the other went back to the state where he was from.

Also, LSU is a much different job than Cal or Kentucky.

Again, Cignetti just signed a massive extension. DeBoer didn't have a playoff win when LSU last hired so he wouldn't have fit your criteria either.

Also, how is hiring Cignetti any different than hiring Lane?

Are we pretending Lane wouldn't have won a playoff game if he had been allowed to coach at Ole Miss?
