I loved 2019, but was able to actually see that Ed is not anywhere close to the top of the list of reasons 2019 happened.
when 39 of your 40 years in the coaching profession show that you are absolutely NOT head coaching material, it's pretty obvious the 1 is the complete fluke.
know what else happened while Ed was here?
school's first ever loss to a Sunbelt school
the most lopsided loss in series history to Mississippi State
the most lopsided loss in 30+ years to Alabama
the most lopsided loss in series history to Auburn
the only LSU coach since Stovall with multiple losses to Mississippi State
the only LSU coach to be shutout twice by Alabama since the Vietnam war ended
first home loss to Auburn in 20 years
20 year bowl streak ended.
back to back seasons without a winning record for the first time this century
average margin of defeat against Alabama nearly twice as many point as Les (who absolutely needed to go for not keeping us competitive)
complete implosion of the roster
and that's not even counting his multiple off field issues as well
the negatives outweigh the positives at a better than 10:1 clip (start counting off the field embarrassments and it's closer to 20:1)
further evidence that the 1 wasn't his doing.
