If I were the AD, I would have a group of former players 1990 to 2023 audit the program to report back on issues. Make sure that if you fire the coach, there are no other rogue elements contributing to problems. Groupies, clingers, jock-sniffers, or local party-dorks that are making the program soft.

The current state of the program is like watching Rocky III, "eye of the tiger", when Rocky goes soft and loses his edge. LSU winning the title is Clubber Lang.
