Is there any scenario where you would be happy with retaining CEO?

If Texas, USC, and Notre Dame are open in the same year we're going to be in a tough spot and I'm not sure Orgeron + Aranda isn't the best option we're going to have.

O gets the job in this scenerio IMO.

There is a lot of anger on this board towards anyone who wants to keep O.

I call BS. It's called waiting to see what happens. Who the frick in their right mind would or should commit to keeping his as HC RIGHT NOW??????? Seriously some of you cannot process information that should be simple to understand.

Only if we win out and Herman goes elsewhere

Coaches that get fired from power 5 jobs (Ole miss) do not and should not fall up into a job like LSU. If O wants another power 5 gig then he needs to prove that he can run a successful program at a lower level for multiple years.

The last time LSU hired an assistant that was loved by the players, look what happened. We need to go head to head with Texas and throw the kitchen sink at herman. They may have more money, but LSU is the better program right now.

If we can't get OUR guy or number two, Orgeron is the best answer. One thing we know he can do is recruit, so if a change has to be made in three years the cupboard will still ve full.

He was 6-2 at USC and now 1-0 so far at LSU, that's 7-2 in his last 9 games at Power 5 schools and with many of the players that were at USC and are now at LSU HIS recruits and with talent far greater than he could get at Ole Miss...

If he runs the table or loses to Bama that would still put him either 14-2 or 13-3 as a head coach at Power 5 schools since leaving Ole Miss...

Its clear that he learned from his mistakes at Ole Miss where he was micro-managing everything to allowing the other coaches to do their job and not running his players into the ground in practice...

We still have 7 games to go but I think he's going to shock many of you and I'm rooting for him and if he does go 8-0 or 7-1 he should be named the head coach and he wouldn't command $5-6 million either...

And for those dismissing him no matter how much success he has in these 8 games simply because he failed the first time is very revealing...

That alone should get him the job.

quote:

Texas pays Herman 10 a year and Jimbo extends at FSU. Would you still say no to O?

---

Those should make it a lock.

However, see my sig line.

FTR. I'm OK with keeping O but I do have a want for Herman with the current D staff we have.

Coach wins out keeps Aranda and gets top notch OC

I've seen a lot of anger and downvotes at people just for suggesting that O has a shot at the job.

Probably because anyone else promoted to the interim position would have a 0% chance of becoming the permanent head coach, regardless of how well the team performed.

Imagine if we promoted Cameron or Peveto as the interim head coach - the team could win out with a SEC Championship and no one would want LSU to retain either of them.

Most LSU fans are emotionally vulnerable, and they become hopelessly enchanted whenever they see a likable, charismatic guy like Orgeron. They lose the ability to step back and look at the situation objectively and rationally.
