SERIOUSLY? LINK

Is this the monthly thread where everyone says we need to hire Orgeron for a position that either doesn't exist or isn't vacant?

As long as he stays far away from Lsu, I don't care what that dude says. I K now some would love him here but it would be only a short amount of time before he would have us on probation. No thanks

I have a teenage brother, O has a son that age too, and believe me he has a point. He's not talking about the 20-somethings and older that post here, he's talking about highschool kids. The underarmor/nike marketing strategy of convincing kids flashy accessories and unis make them play better has been a huge success.

The Ogre is a joke. I hope that he never works at LSU.

He acted like Oregon's spread and option was so huge and powerful and yet they are just another name on LSU's list of the Chief's conquests.

They are only impressive against the pac's weak excuses for defenses.

I have not seen a single Oregon fan in Louisiana, nor the southeast. Calling crap on this.. I also think the Oregon perception has begun to fade in general.

Maybe O was really talking about "organs".

He's talking about Duck Dynasty. It is very popular "down here."

say what you want but when I was in HS (03-07) everyone loved what Oregon was doing. Flashy uniforms. Fast, high scoring offense. It was the fun thing. Now, don't get me wrong, the vast majority were die-hard Tiger fans, but the Oregon hype was real


ETA: but I can't say I've seen much gear

Orgeron/Oregon. It's all because this half-wit thinks the place was named for him.

Not many Oregon fans running around Louisiana. He must think that Construction Workers and Crossing Guards are Oregon fans

I am not sure this is as much about if kids wear Oregon gear or not. But it is true that Oregon with Nike and Phil Knight are building very nice facilities and are marketing/recruiting better now than they were 8-10 years ago.

Oregon is a place now as opposed to then that kids at least think about and may even visit where that just did not happen 8-10 years ago.

I think it impacts USC, UCLA and the PAC schools much more than us or other SEC schools.

They may pull a kid or 2 and we will see if they can compete in FL and TX consistently but while I think they are doing a lot of good things up there, Coach O is overblowing it. If you have ever heard him talk it's not hard to imagine him exaggerating a bit.
