    I think we made the only move we could which is the problem. A program this big can't be limited to that few choices

    Any other legit option would have had a mixed reaction.

    They went with a coach who wanted to be here instead of a coach chasing the money. If Tx decided to keep Strong one more year and Herman signed with LSU, there's probably a good chance he still goes to Tx anyway when Strong is eventually fired. I'd rather not have him at all, then have him as coach for a year or 2 and have him bail.

    That's a good point, but who else was there and available that we had a realistic shot at landing?

    If LSU would have been concluding a 3-9 season I could see a clean house, take no prisoners attitude. However IMO, I am as disappointed as anyone given the rediculous talent on this team, but they don't need to blow up this program to really succeed. I truly think Orgeron has learned from his past mistakes but he also has been around 3 National Champions so he has seen success.

    I am a tough guy and I will tell you. O is not a whinny baby like you
    Guess I missed the point of your post. Lets see you think Alleva may have fallen into a good coach but if that coach turns out to be great you still want Alleva gone even if it turns out O was the right hire?

    The other "unexplored" option that I think would have been worthy was PJ Fleck........a young Saban.

    Yes, but LSU should have more options. Speaking of options who is one for next AD?
