the last 3 games has not changed the fact that he never should have been hired
It reminds me of last year (beating the mediocre Ole Miss Arkansas Missouri etc., observers believing we have made the turn). We beat an awful Florida team and an on the road to purgatory Ole Miss team. The Auburn win was good and surprising, but we let them off the hook last year. Orgeron could make a more of a case for his hiring with a good performance this weekend. What I expect is that LSU plays well for a half, wears down in the second half and gets run. I agree with you that beating terrible teams and Auburn doesn't justify the hiring, especially when you take a four touchdown beating to a mediocre State team and lose to Troy.
Whether one believes it is fair or not, we need to see something that Les Miles wouldn't give you to justify replacing him with someone unqualified. If O beats Bama, he can point to that, and it would be difficult to respond to.
On offense, we are basically worse in every category. I acknowledge it is year one. We are about 12 yards per game better passing. We are about that much worse running.

We lost to Auburn (that's what got Miles fired) and we lost to Florida on Guices' "zig-zag" in the backfield...we played 'Bama tough, by virtue of the 10-0 victory, which, for some reason the Tigers were not given credit for, it seemed. Now, this year, we are playing lots of young'uns and it's gonna be tough defense wise. We have enough experience on the "D" but can it last throughout the game...I don't feel victorious (esp playing in T-town)but I think we "suck it up" and play tough, but eventually wear down due to depth issues from the lack of quality OL and DL recruiting the past couple of years

Actually we have. Les' last game against Auburn was the last time LSU had the clock run out on them when they were on the verge of winning.
I really miss those exciting times.

This is where CEO and his staff can have the upper hand. Put something out there that Saban doesn’t expect and isn’t prepared for. Catch him and his team of devils flat footed. Then see. Then win!
Geaux Tigers!

He was hired whether he should've been or not and imo he did one heck of a job last season. The team was 2-2 and in turmoil. He won the bowl signed a strong class of Freshman and hired Canada. The losses early were alarming but he rebounded with 3 Sec wins. 2 on road. A lot of teams would have packed it in. Sign of a good coach to keep everyone together and stay the course. The Bama game doesn't decide anything. We're not ready to beat the best team n the country. It's the 3 sec games after that. O needs to win 9-10 and close strong on the trail and I would Consider it a strong first season. Esp consider the issues he's had taking over as HC

If we do play them tough then get worn down in the 4th qtr then O had the team ready and I call that a win for the team. That means we will get them either next year or 2019 when our 2 big OL come on down to go with the freshmen bruisers that will be juniors.
All we need is Etling to get some time to throw, Guice or Williams to break one, and a couple of trick plays to work. Ready for a pass from Guice? If we can put up 17-20 points that just may be enough.
I know one thing, Mr Long will pick LSU to beat Bama!
