Ordinarily you'd be able to excuse some of these because of inexperience. But O was the head coach for three years at Ole Miss. (Damn, it hurts even to say that.) He should know better: * Allowed an injured Leonard Fournette to play against Florida in 2016, after declaring him out. (In pre-game warm-ups LF shoved a UF coach.) His stat line: 12 rushes for 40 yards and 0 TDs. * Lost to Florida at home. * Publicly blamed the Florida loss on Derrius Guice going the wrong way on a goal line play. * Got shut out at home against Alabama. * Said publicly after the Bama game that LSU should have gotten Alabama's offensive tackle in recruiting and that our current ones aren't good enough. * Threw his headset down and broke it vs. UT Chat, evidently because an O-Lineman missed a block, which has happened on almost every play in 2017, so why not break a headset on almost every play? * Lost to Moo-U 37-7. * Declared Guice out on a Wednesday then in on a Thursday then played him on a Saturday against Syracuse. Guice ran the ball 8 times for 14 yards. * Tinkered with Canada's offense before the Troy game. O has no experience coaching offense. Tigers scored no points in the first half. * Allowed the refs to give Troy a free timeout at the end of the first half. Troy kicked a field goal with their free play. * Made Canada change the offensive game plan in the 2nd half against Troy. Too little too late. * Lost to Troy on homecoming. * Had a meeting with his two coordinators and the AD to discuss why the program is spiraling out of control. This is unheard of and has made LSU even more of a target of jokes and laughter on the national level. * Said he didn't know who was getting the ball on the first play of the Troy game. Then called Nick Brossette "the third-string back who fumbled the ball." Hope we don't need Brossette to step up anytime soon. * Said on his radio show after Troy, "We don't have a field goal kicker." Hope the game against Florida isn't 21-20 Gators with LSU driving late in the 4th quarter. * Has made impulsive decision after impulsive decision, giving players, fans, and the media the impression that he doesn't know how to run a football program. * Inspired innumerable tweets like this one from CBS sports columnist Gary Parrish: "Coach O is an assistant. Everybody knew but LSU."
