re: O admitted to lackluster practices

i agree. he should have been going frickin bananas on the sidelines.. busting whiteboards over folks heads... running around like a mad man.. aint gonna help us win more than about 7 or so, but at least you won't be doubting the fire in O

where is the Ed O that would do shirtless pushups in homes of recruits? where is the Ed O who would drink 4-5 redbulls a day? If we are going to go 8-4/7-5 I at least want to see some action and fire from Ed O

That version or Orgeron lost a lot of games.

Look at what this former player said after Orgeron famously challenged his players to fight him.

quote:

---

"It was the strangest thing I’ve ever seen in my life," a former player told me. "I mean, we had plenty of guys on that team from some really bad places. Any other situation and some guy like that taking his shirt off and talking shite to those players, he would’ve been jumped or shot or both. I still can’t figure out if he knew that, that no one would try and fight their new head coach. He was such an a-hole."

Orgeron article

So that version of Orgeron doesn't work. Now he's trying to be the complete opposite, calm cool and collected. But players know a phony when they see it and they don't respect it.

Guy is just not cut out for this.
