    First and foremost, I'm an LSU fan and from day one was thrilled to have Coach O as our HC, but I think we owe USC a big thanks for fking-up and letting him get away.

    We need a bill board near their campus with a pic of O that says "Thanks USC". LOL

    Coach O admitted in an interview that he made a lot of mistakes at Ole Miss. Thankfully he learned. He is a much better coach now than then.

    That's the key. Some coaches (and people in general) keep walking into the same wall.

    BTW..Apparently they didn't view Coach O as a country club guy - didn't fit their image - thank god .https://www.foxnews.com/sports/usc-passed-ed-orgeron-voice-college-football-insider

    I think we have turned the corner, but a smart QB like Burrow is hard to replace.

    IMO Brennan will be OK he has been around the System and has learned from Burrow.

    I agree but I would say we need to temper our definition of "ok". Burrow is gonna be a Heisman winner and is a very special talent. Brennan could be very good and still fail if we measure him against Burrow's numbers.

    I admit I was skeptical of the hire initially. With that said the man has done not only what he needed to do, but what he promised to do. I gladly admit I was wrong, and I am happy I was as well...
