So, Orgeron had no plan? Except words, I mean.

Said we would get Kiffin. We won't.

Needs a big time OC hire, but has no one lined up. We have to wait till after bowl game because he doesn't know what to do and has to figure it out now.

Offered Tua - who said no.

Lost a couple of big recruits.

Almost lost Myles Brennan - still might.


Now, posters on the Rant are asking, "Why not Ensminger?"


Is this all real?




We hired ED ORGERON so he could try and figure out what to do? He does not know and needs a month or more to figure out who the new OC is now that Kiffin fell through.

I feel like that is an optimistic outlook on the Orgeron hire.

Coaching search season isn't closed yet. Quit being a whiny pussy, pussy face.

You're an idiot. You're basically saying that everything needs to happen NOW or the sky is falling... Give it time, brother. Let things play out.

I got on TD to stay informed on LSU sports information. The whiny, negative jackarse comments that are posted ad nauseum are unbearable. Some of these people must love to live in complete misery......do some of you ever step back and even try to be positive about anything?

I don't have a link to that quote, obviously, because I have not seen the binder.

But, it was widely reported that Kiffin was likely coming. Who looked that? Where is that from? C'mon. You know how this works.

You think Alleva hired Orgeron with him saying, "I have no idea who I will get for OC, but I hope to let you know in 6 weeks"?

None of this makes any sense at all now. If O had a top OC lined up it might have made sense. Now? None.

So because you aren't seeing a bunch of tards running around in message boards saying what their sources are hearing, this is what you assume?

I get the frustration over the coaching "search", but can we atleast see who O hires for OC and ST and how the recruiting class looks on signing day before we freak out?

Had his boys in the Baton Rouge media pumping that propaganda. "Hire Coach O and Aranda will stay and Kiffin will come because they are such close friends."

You have no idea who Orgeron has/had in mind for OC when he met with Alleva. You're just spewing the same old crap that you read on message boards. You have no clue, you're just regurgitating misconceived perceptions that have been fueled by the idiots who do nothing but bitch about everything on TD.

so, O never said anything about Kiffin, right? Everyone knew Kiffin was likely done at Bama and that he and O are friends...it wasn't a stretch to put two and two together and assume he was a candidate...but O never said he was bringing in Kiffin.

Amen! this has been the problem with a lot of this coaching changes drama. Lots of people saying things they know nothing about.

None of this is fact. This is just a typical anti-O poster melting over what he "believes to be true". You want to believe the worst and I'm glad you're miserable.

You don't even know how much you don't know about the whole situation... but you are entertaining.

You know exactly what I'm talking about. But, okay. Fine. I never heard him say it.

Thus, I'M the one full of shite. Got it.

Why not shut down all the Kiffin speculation then?

I actually believed he had a top OC lined up and would bring him in. We don't have an OC. We have an old TEs coach calling plays. Forgive me for expecting some level of competence.

I actually tried to make the best of this and I see one misstep after another.


So, okay. Fine. I'm the one full of shite because I believed that Orgeron was signaling Kiffin in his interview and negotiations. My bad. Apparently, it is more accurate to believe that he went in with Alleva and said, "I have no idea who I'll get for OC, but he'll be someone good. Let you know in January," and that was sufficient to get the job.

That boggles the mind, but it is the only answer we are left with if the Kiffin speculation wasn't coming from Orgeron's camp. I actually thought it was.
