LT is not that good. Their record is a reflection of an easy schedule. Sagarin ranks them 2 spots below 4-4 USF and one spot ahead of 2-7 Tulsa.

Got smoked at Texas to open the season.
Beat 1-AA Grambling (4-4) by 6 points at home.
Beat 3-6 Bowling Green.
Beat 5-4 FIU
Beat 0-9 Rice in OT by 3 points.
Beat 1-8 UMass
Beat 5-3 Southern Miss.
Beat 1-7 UTEP

So, 2 wins against winning teams and the records of their FBS opponents: 20-40.

Tons of quality FBS players in Louisiana looking to play close to home.

This fact is totally in line with his coaching philosophy: When Skip was the head coach in Storrs, his teams were all offense. Defense was an afterthought, & his teams won by outscoring the opposition. Kind of like the reputation of XII teams.

Red pants is a decent defensive coordinator.

We have not had an offensive HC since going BCS. (Yeah, we had an interim offensive HC). RE,PP and BD were all DCs. An offensive guy might be fun.

At least he's winning games he's supposed to win now... I think there'd be a strong argument that none of us wouldn't be mad if he did that here.. no matter how weak the schedule is... It sucks losing the way we've been losing over the past 6 plus years.. horrible feeling.... Just sayin... Can't knock somebody for winning, when you look at home and see the mess you see...
