re: If Coach O couldnt get the LSU DC job

All we need to know?

We beat up on the worst team in the sec, southern miss, and a 3-4 Ole Miss team. Lets not crown ourselves the greatest show on turf just yet

---

I'm not. I'm just using it to contrast our improved offensive production under CoachO to the epic shiteshow under CLM and we didn't really play anybody then either. The games where our offense played the best were against Miss State, which just lost to Kentucky, and Jacksonville State.

Yea if we continue with 500 yards of offense and blowing people out, sure his name should get serious consideration, but we havent played much of anybody yet. Our 3 toughest games are still ahead of us.

That is why I said if he keeps this up.

So because Urban Meyer did well at other schools coach O gets a pity pass because he was "forced" to start in the SEC???? Jfc, you're blind love for O is ridiculous. I can't believe you are legitimately trying to make an argument defending O because he didn't get the "opportunity" to start at a lower level school. You know maybe O should have thought about that risk before going to Ole Miss.

---

Why do you keep saying that I said things that you know isn't true? For a fact check all anyone has to do is scroll up a few posts.

Urban is a great coach. No denial from me on that matter. I did not infer that Coach O is as good as Urban. I just stated that no comparison can be made between the two because the beginnings of each was totally different. Bottom rung SEC school vs Bowling Green and Utah. Nobody knows what O's record would have been because it simply didn't happen. Do you deny that?

Nobody said anything about a "pity pass". Are you drinking? Also I don't see where anyone said anybody was forced into anything. I know I didn't.

As you say, "my are" blind love for O would be ridiculous if it existed. Again, he did not coach Bowling Green or Utah so the two coaches can not be compared as apples to apples in their respective coaching careers. Would Urban have been as successful if his first head coaching stint was at Ole Miss? Nobody knows because he didn't start at Ole Miss.

I think you missed the point of my post just as bad as Herman missed the opportunity to prepare for SMU this weekend. Somehow, I am not surprised in the least.

Maybe so, but he probably made a lot of money with his risky decision. This is something you would need to discuss with Ed Orgeron. I was not included in the thought-process or negotiations prior to his taking the Ole Miss job.

You okay? Seem a little upset about something.

i want to beat Bama just as bad as usual but an added bonus will be the Tiger Tracker meltdown on the CCB.

All of the things people say O is good at (recruiting, firing up the players, letting other coaches coach) he can do just as well as a d line coach. No need to make him head coach. We just dumped a coach with no real coaching ability in Les Miles. Why turn around and get another one? I want a guy that brings something to the table in coaching ability. The fact O would not want to be a coordinator is telling. To me that means he is afraid of being exposed or just uninterested in game planning. LSU can do better.

Hell, it's already happening. Do you think it could be any worse?

Ruh Roe Reorge, that is a nail in the coffin for the second strongest argument against CEO. Dabo and Urban in real life would be enough to quell the shite, but probably not on this board.

---

It's not a nail in the coffin. Dabo assumed playcalling/OC duties when he was promoted to interim coach.

Also important to note that Dabo hasn't fallen flat on his face now that he has the gig full time.

Didnt play anyone?

We played Wisconsin and Auburn who are both 5-2 and ranked #11 and #15. Im not saying we looked good against these teams, but to say our best game was against the 2-5 Miss State team is just not accurate.

---

When I said our best games, I meant the games with our best offensive production, and that still wasn't close to what our offense has been doing since CoachO took over. Yeah Mizzou's defense is Big12 level and Ole Miss defense is badd too bad, but Southern Miss defense is #17. Regardless of our opponent, we are still averaging >40pts/game and 536yds of offense per game under coachO. That is incredible for a three game stretch with any LSU team.

I like Coach O but hes just not a realistic candidate for building a new future for LSU.

lolzy.

I'm just waiting for one of you clowns to suggest we rehire Less.

I will respond to you, hoping you're more logical than Tiger Ree about all this. Just answer one thing for me:

Coach O's positives...do all the other candidates have those qualities as well? If yes, how does their HC overall resume compare to O?

That's my biggest point here, and no i dont have an example because there are around 500 O threads. Lol. I can assure you that has been said along with "his best quality is he let's his coaches coach.".

I get that some people dont like this person or that person for whatever reason, but can you take me through a step by step of why O would be put above Jimbo, Herman, Peterson, Patrino, Fleck, etc.? Even if he wins out during the season it doesn't discredit his overall HC record would still be a losing one. Why does no one consider this information? It baffles me.

Eta: here is your one example you requested. Posted front and center of the CCB:

why do people not like coach O
Posted by LSU GrandDad on 10/25/16 at 10:19 pm
1-he has a Cajun accent
2-he failed at ole miss 20 yrs ago
3-no one has offered him a HC gig

give the guy a chance. the next 4 games will tell us how good he is.

Dumb post is dumb.
