It shames me that this pathetic excuse for a coach actually beat the University of Miami.

Wow, this is great news. I was actually happy that we lost the South Florida game b/c it might have actually embarrassed the university to the point it would fire Bunting. I doubt we can land Rodriguez, but at least the administration's heart is in the right place.

Agree with everything here. Jimbo Fisher (41 yrs old) would be a coup.

Didn't State try to hire Jimbo Fisher a couple of years back? Can't remember the specifics but all the State fans were saying it was a done deal, then it fell through. Hmm. Does he have ties to the region?

His bio on LSU's sports page says he is an '89 graduate of Salem College. I went to salem.edu which is in Winston-Salem (NC), but it is an all women's college so not sure.

Have they ever had a good football team?

Weren't they pretty good when Mack Brown coached there (and Julius Peppers played)?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. During one of Mack's years we played FSU at home in November and we were both ranked in the AP's top ten.

Julius Peppers never played for Mack Brown He played for Torbush, Bunting and Dougherty and never on a ranked football team.
In the 1995 season we ended the year ranked in the top 15 during the 1996 season ( which I remember driving to Hillsboro after Huricaine Fran to " look for Ice" actually I was listening to the UNC Syaracuse game on the radio.) we lost to Florida state but were still in contention for a BCS bowl birth when we blew a 14 point 4th quarter lead Vs UVA starting when Keldorf threw an INT at the goalline that was returned for a TD. We ended up beating Va Tech in the Gator Bowl to secure a final seasason ranking of #3 with Carl Torbush as our new head coach, as Mack Brown had left before the bowl to take over at Texas
