I was disgusted at the idea of Bianco. Really glad he wasn't the hire.

I remember everyone worried that we would hire Bianco and wanting other candidates.

I'm sure there were a few who wanted him at LSU, but I have to believe most of them were actually Ole Miss fans who wanted him out of Oxford.

The idea of Bianco was not exciting. He won a championship, but hadn't won much outside of that. They finished like 4th or worse in the SEC West like 7 of the last 8 years or something. Not looking it up.

I just felt there were way more exciting options for LSU's coach. Especially younger. I love the coach we got.

It was more. People were so fed up with Mainieri at that point that they wanted to hire a coach worse than Paul because he was “one of us”

He is the only one to ever win shite over there. They have one relevant program thanks to him. As usual, Ole Miss fans think they are more than what they actually are.

Before that postseason run, Ole Miss fans and their AD were pissed that Bianco tried to bail for LSU.

Rebs were the last at large team in the field that year and Bianco was in the final year of his contract and hadn’t gotten an extension. If the committee doesn’t put Ole Miss in the field that year, it would’ve been his last in Oxford.

Crazy how much changed in a month
