At the end of the 2015 college football season, the Georgia Bulldogs were faced with a situation similar to what the LSU Tigers saw at the end of last year and into 2016. They had a head coach in Mark Richt who was consistently winning at least nine or ten regular season games every year, but could never seem to get over the hump and win championships.
So, the Bulldogs decided to part ways with their long time head coach after the season. Much like Georgia, LSU moved on from Les Miles in large part because of his inability to further progress the team from its repeated nine or ten win state.
