How many people feel that LSU settled on Orgeron?

That's my biggest problem with the situation. I feel like LSU fans were promised something new and got more of the same instead. It pisses me off that Alleva didn't have the balls to at least try to fight for other candidates? I feel that he took the easy way out. Sure O may have been the best available candidate out there, but we will never know because only 2 others were pursued and half assed at that. We know exactly what we are getting with Orgeron and that to me does not justify the firing of Miles. LSU fired an average coach and hired a below average coach. How does that even make sense? We had a golden opportunity and we failed. Alleva lied to us and it seems that he doesn't even care. What happened to integrity? It's time to fire everybody involved in the fiasco.

I think retarded Louisiana politics and fans got him hired.

Back to the 90s. This isn't progress.

You are lying to yourself and everyone if you don't feel they settled. Nothing within his resume makes him qualified to hold the position. There was literally no search, no due diligence.

Maybe he can share some binder skills. I have my eye on a management position.

And alleva in his statement said that he would take his time and make the best hire for The program. Then a day later hires O. What a fricking dipshit.

How can you "settle" when you never properly vetted any candidates

Settling would be Larry fedora.
This is way worse than that. This is imploding.

At least we would have had a chance with Fedora. To try and fail is better than to not try at all.

The whole "search" just seemed pathetic. The fact that Alleva said he wasn't going to get into a "bidding-war" was asinine. Guess what Joe? The moment you fired Miles you entered into a bidding war whether you liked it or not. Herman, Fisher, et al didn't NEED the LSU job. LSU NEEDED a HC. If Alleva didn't think he was going to have to pay huge dollars to get one of his top picks, then he is a complete moron.
That aside, why the rush to hire Ogeron before the regular season even ended? Ogeron wasn't getting a serious HC offer from anyone else. You didn't have to beat other programs to the punch. Was the list really just Fisher, Herman, Ogeron? If that is the case, then why not just fire Miles last season and name Ogeron HC? At least LSU wouldn't have wasted this season.
Even more bizarre is the fact that Joe "wasn't going to get in to a bidding war", yet he basically got into a bidding war with himself to hire is own DL coach. No one else in the country was paying Ogeron $3 million, so why is LSU? If you want to be fair, put together an incentive-laden contract. If O performs well, then he gets paid handsomely for his efforts. This is the same stupidity used in the Johnny Jones contract. Jones is making $1.5 million when his only market is/was North Texas and LSU. Jones would have crawled to LSU from Denton, Tx to be the HC. There was no reason to give him a substantial raise to come here. Likewise, there has been ZERO reason to give him additional raises and extensions since he's been here. No one is beating down LSU's door to get Jones.
Alleva pisses and moans about not getting price-gouged, then turns around and OVERPAYS his HC's. It's mind blowing!

We did settle cause Alleva was scared of Texas
Posted on 11/27/16 at 9:44 am to SlowFlowPro
Herman showed up to interview with Texas sweatshirt, and Fisher was filing his fingernails while mumbling something about show me the money. LSU was going to have to "settle". Would we have been any happier with a fancier hat or mullet boy?

No doubt LSU settled. No doubt. Time will repeatedly reinforce and remind us of that fact.
