I ...I seem to have hit a nerve with the LSU crowd.<br /><br />I don't feel that Notre Dame alums have to pass a "loyalty" test. If I did, then Mike Golic would be on my $#!# list.<br /><br />I just feel that if he wants to be a journalist, he should be a journalist, not a two-bit hack that spouts off at the mouth based on nothing but hearsay and rumor. If he was giving "an honest assessement (sic)" he would have based his comments on something substantive, instead he based them on what he heard Mark May say during the last College Gameday Final.<br /><br />Further, the recent coaches at Rutgers, Vanderbilt, and other tradionally underachieving schools have shown that you can be successful and go to bowl games with those schools. To give DiNardo a pass for failing to do so is ridiculous.<br /><br />And I don't care how much you love him down there in the bayou, he failed at LSU. He did not win a championship, and did not even come close; the program took a step backward under him. His early success at LSU was a Willingham-esque smokescreen.<br /><br />I have no opinion as to DiNardo as a person. In fact, I'm sure he's a great guy. But he hasn't succeeded at anything he's done since he left Colorado, and nothing either of you has said has convinced me otherwise.Wackohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573984468865704789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15561288.post-20967335509681957112006-12-24T15:35:00.000-05:002006-12-24T15:35:00.000-05:00Good Grief.
I think you are being a tad too tou...Good Grief. <br /><br />I think you are being a tad too tough on him. Dianrdo was SEC Coach of the year at one time. Vanderbilt didn't go to a BOwl but that will alwyas be tought for them.<br /><br />As to his tenure at LSU he did bring back the program to a certain extent. He showed what LSU could do. I was not too thrilled about the way his firing came about but he was a good man.<br /><br />Failures are ones that never ty. Coach Dinardo tried and had influence on countless people , players and non. Failure is not a word I would associate with him. I am proud he was our coach at LSU.<br /><br />Finally, he has a job to do. HE says negative things about LSU too at times. He must giove his honest assessement. I guess no one from Notre Dame can be in the sport's media since there appears to be some "loyalty test". But I don't think that would be productive for Notre Dame would it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
