Tom Herman and Bobby Petrino rumors about to get turnt up to 11.

[Anoat]

You dirty cajuns keep your paws away from my Jimbo! You had him once and let him go, you don't deserve Jimbo The Fisher!

[Akiyama]

JOY TO THE WORLD

I really hope things end up well for you guys. We'll see.

WHAT

It would've happened last year if not for his huge buyout and how that would look with the school in a bad economic state. Jimbo Fisher was standing by to take the job.

Les was never going to survive anything approaching a down year this year with all of the talent we had returning.

Herman is my #1, Jimbo #2

I really hope things end up well for you guys. We'll see.

We're in a better situation now than at any time during the past few years with Les finally excised. I recommend reading the articles about the firing as the stats of our offensive struggles are staggering. 3rd worst passing offense of any Power 5 school over the last 3 years, ahead of only Boston College and Georgia Tech.

[Akiyama]

Yeah I know all about LSU's struggles. Hell, Auburn's offense, and player growth in general has been pretty garbage all in all too. I'm on my last legs with Gus, but we'll see.

Disagree with firing him midseason tho.

[Moss]

Disagree with firing him midseason tho.

Les? Why?

[FNH]

Forgot to post this morning but lsu fans burned the toomers oaks

[Akiyama]

Les? Why?

I just don't think it's good for morale or a good look in general to fire any coach midseason like that. Looks incredibly reactionary.

[Moss]

I just don't think it's good for morale or a good look in general to fire any coach midseason like that. Looks incredibly reactionary.

I don't think you can call it reactionary when it almost happened during last season. He was basically given one last chance to wake his stubborn ass up and get with the times but as always he doubled down with his outdated offensive philosophy. It took 4 games to become clear it wasn't working, so he was let go. It would have been MUCH worse to keep him as a lame duck coaches as we keep losing games. No recruit is going to listen to his pitch when they know his ass is gone.

As for morale, I can't imagine it being much lower than it already was after the terrible start to the season.

[FNH]

Ogeron interim.

How many times has Ed Orgeron been named interim coach

[Bregor]

Bye bye Les. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you crash and burn.

Here is your interesting college football factoid I am stealing from some random dude's Twitter. Ten years ago, there were 15 active head coaches who had won the national championship at the FBS level. Today, there are only four--Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, Jimbo Fisher, and Bob Stoops.

It has been nearly 20 years since Stoops won his.

[Kirin]

-Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, Jimbo Fisher, and Bob Stoops.

One of these is not like the others.

[FNH]

imo, Nick and Urban are on a different plane of existence.

[Coren]

Going with Satan > Meyer >>>> Stoops = Fisher

Going with Satan > Meyer >>>> Stoops = Fisher

Triggered.

[Moss]

Stoops = Fisher
