Ed Not Returning To LSU

[Trav]

Ya'll do know this wasn't performance related right?

If they were 15-2 instead of 9-8 since the natty you don't think that relationship would be less "strained?"

 

[Firesite]

But we can't pay Manny's ****** buyout? Cmon now!

 

[CTCanes]

LSU doesn't care about optics like Miami does - LSU will take a long hard look at Freeze, Kiffin and even Herman IMO. Coaches Miami seems like would never hire.

 

[Crystal Ball]

Wrong. His just won a national title less than 2 years ago. This had absolutely nothing to do with performance

if it was due to strained relationships and off the field problems he'd be gone. They wouldnt be allowing him to finish the season. They realized he struck lightning in a bottle with Burrow and Brady to get that natty and he'd never get them to that level again so they forced him out. Period.

 

[ADELPHI]

Manny and his dad would NEVER go for something like this

I know that there’s no confirmation of this but I have to believe that Manny Sr is doing his utmost to keep junior around for as long as possible. We really need to start investigating this angle…his ties to BOT members and fundraising efforts. The pressure needs to be stepped up. We are in no mans land right now. The uncertainty will kill our recruiting class and create an atmosphere where no coach in their right mind would want to come here. Classic example of lacking foresight.

Ya'll do know this wasn't performance related right?

Well, yes and no.

Word is part of this is pulling the trigger now because they did not think things would improve.

 

[TC@ne]

If this doesn’t put the pressure on the BOT, nothing will

Unfortunately how many times we said that in the last month

 

[the storm]

I think LSU hired a new AD last year.

I think LSU hired a new AD last year.

Yeah they got the guy from A&M

Then you want more of the same. Ed caught lightning in a bottle one time and the rest speaks for itself.

"Caught lightning in a bottle" is such a bizarre excuse for discounting a guy who built one of the best teams ever. Cfb fans have had their brains scrambled by Alabama. Teams tend to get gutted in the draft after winning national championships.

The irony is that if you bother to look at LSUs record up to the 15-0, it shows the exact opposite of lightning in a bottle. It shows a team that was steadily building season by season and then was positioned to make a championship run when the final pieces fell into place (a high school offensive coordinator plus their transfer QB that was thought to be a bust turned out to be a revelation). They didn't bring in some hot shot 5 million dollar a year OC and a 5 star transfer QB with a national championship. ****, even UM had made Burrow look pedestrian in 2018.

6-2
9-4
10-3
15-0

Is not lightning in a bottle. That is the path most championship programs take - improving season by season.

The best part is this is LSU saying a win over UiF is absolutely meaningless too. Hahaha.

Their AD is the same one that fired Sark and lured Peterson from Boise to Washington. Moved on to TAMU and poached Jimbo from FSU. He does not mess around.

 

[Thommy30w]

Even when we were dominating college football, LSU still cared more about football and winning than UM did.

 

[Hoyacane1620]

They negotiated themselves out of a huge buy out. Guy was making 7m per year.

That had me wondering if they would go all in on Jimbo?

 

[Hoyacane1620]

 

[AllAboutTheU]

I'd hire him immediately

Porster of the decade.

 

[SayWhat]

On the field performance combined with off the field issues. LSU probably strong armed this deal with some good dirt in hand. Boss move on their part and that dirt will vanish.

 

[Mackmiller974]

As d-line coach and recruiter sure

As DC next year, **** I'd hire him over Manny Diaz but I don't think he would be a good fit in Miami. Definitely a good DC though

 

[Ispyin]

Report is that Coach O lost the locker room, including his coaching staff. Once word got to the AD, “surprisingly”, he had a meeting w/ Coach O to begin negotiations to remove him as coach. Dude can win out & it won’t mean chit b/c the locker room is in turmoil.

Interdasting concept.

Plus there’s that ya know blind eye to sexual assaults aspect baylor style…

 

[Mackmiller974]

Yo stay away from the coke bruh dude isn't good. Geez this fan base.

If it's for DL yea that's it

DC
