LSU Fan Reax: How the fanbase took the news of Bill O’Brien being in the mix
The LSU Tigers are deep into their hunt for the next head coach. Many have speculated names such as Jimbo Fisher based on his ties to current athletic director Scott Woodward. We have written about the laundry list of names, even mentioning one Bill O’Brien who seemed to be back in the news on Thursday and Friday.
On ESPN Rece Davis, a noted Alabama alum and host of ‘College Game Day’ stated he believed O’Brien would be the next head coach of the LSU Tigers. O’Brien is currently going through the Nick Saban coaching rehabilitation program at Alabama.
As you might have expected the fans didn’t take the news very well and for good reason. If Scott Woodward did end up hiring, or at the very least announcing that O’Brien is set to become the head coach we have a situation. I am talking about Tennesse and Greg Schiano-type situation.
Here is how fans took it.
The Bill O’Brien to #LSU rumors had to have been started by a Bama fan. No other reasonable explanation because there’s no way Woodward would be dumb enough to hire him pic.twitter.com/kf6ya400b0

Get the name Bill O’Brien out of your head, I have just as much of a chance as BOB to become the LSU Head Coach

I swear to God if we hire Bill O’Brien I might stop watching LSU football.
Absolute joke of a hire if it happens.

Why on earth would LSU think Bill O’Brien is a good hire as the next head coach?

Keep Bill O’Brien FAR FAR AWAY FROM LSU

If LSU ends up with Mark Stoops or Bill O'Brien I'll be sick.

If Bill O’Brien is hired by LSU… I’m not sure what I’m gonna do but it’s gonna hurt my soul.
