It had to happen. I am, however, surprised it happened after such a fun win yesterday. But it was a bandaid that needed to be ripped off. But may I say...please no Lane Kiffin?
We will always have 2019. I will never forget it. Coach O deserves credit and praise for overseeing see it. That said, it is time to move on from O.
I was willing to cut him a break on the 5-5, as hard as that was. Record-setting draft class 2020, and then too many opt-outs for the 2020 season. But any grace he had for that was going to disappear for 2021 and here we are.
Another point, nothing says more about him than his manner of leaving. He appears to be leaving with grace and loyalty. It shows he’s a true Tiger.
Yes, if he holds this recruiting class together for the next guy then he has shown his love for LSU by putting the school ahead of his ego/pride.
