re: Hello, Tiger Fans. Allow me to shed some light.

Why is this not at all surprising? Judas Freaking Priest. Orgeron is an insecure infantile egomaniac. Wow. He needs to be gone ASAP.

It sounds to me like O thought Canada was not being sound with personnel. Having N.B. start against Troy, Throwing M.B. in the middle of games, etc.

We are assuming M.B. would have come in and scored w/o turning the ball over. However, when he did get to play he threw int's pretty frequently.

I'm not defending O for the s.e. hire in anyway. Hell, I want the entire regime changed. however, this, to me, is shedding light that Canada didn't value what effect a turnover could do vs. O placing a big premium on not turning the ball over.

i'm betting their were boosters trying to get Orgeron and Alleva fired before. It isn't going to get better.

Then fire Alleva. He created this mess. I'm not really an O fan, but the guy won 9 games this year. You want to see coaches back away and recruits run? shitcan a guy who gets let go after a year because he only won 9 games and finished as a ranked team.

First rule of crisis management: Don't exacerbate the problem. Alleva is your problem, not Orgeron (right now). Alleva has done so many things to have his arse fired, from 2 bad hires in basketball to this whole coaching thing that I'm surprised he does not have a bounty on his head.

Maybe you could get Orgeron fired for cause, but it would be a stretch and a loser. He did not have a physical altercation with Canada. You could criticize him for overriding Canada, but are you really going to try to sell t a jury or the legal system that a boss can't be a boss? Are you going to have him canned for cutting off Canada in a game that we won even though he promised no interference?



Be careful what you wish for because you could end up blowing up the whole thing beyond repair and it will take a lot longer to recover.

Cool. If it won't have any impact on season tickets, let's pull the trigger on my plan and fire them both now.

Cmon boosters! Get it done!

So, who officially made this decision? O obviously dug in for Ensminger and Alleva allowed this to happen. Is there anyone else that either (a) had to sign off on this; or (b) could have vetoed this but let it happen?

---

Here's the issue with this train of thought. If someone who had the power vetoed this hire it would have been bad for LSU long term. When higher ups start vetoing a head coaches hire it has a future negative impact: Any future head coach who sees this could be detered from coming to LSU because they won't be allowed to pick their own staff. Basically they see this as the administration neutering the HC THEY signed off on.

You must let O fail with his hires. I am glad Alleva or any other higher up let O have his way. That way when it all goes to shite we can say we gave the guy who he wanted and he fricked it up still. If the admins start making the staffing hires it gives O an out.

Orgeron is such a complete A$$hat. If you are inclined, could you provide a narrative on exactly how Coach Corndog came to be LSU HC? Geezus H.

It is a sad day when no one wants the job. Hopefully, we are headed for the darkest hour and the dawn is coming.
