re: How Ed Orgeron outsmarted college football

I love Coach O but he didn’t outsmart anyone. The best thing he did was realize he is NOT the smartest guy and went and found some folks smarter than he was and let them work.
He is also leaving enough money in the salary pool to pay those guys and keep them.
Not knocking O but let’s not suddenly act like he’s a rocket surgeon.

He is WAY smarter than you think, especially when it comes to football.
There is a certain type of tiger fan that just can’t accept being completely wrong about this one. Looks like you’re one of them.

Based on the number of people who don’t get this concept or are unable to lead in this way, I’d say he outsmarted many.

O's OC hires were Canada and Ensminger. Both were failures. It's only since O brought Brady on board that the ship got turned around.
Now I give O credit for that, of course. But his first two OC hires were whiffs (and yes, I realize E is still technically the OC).

Do know coach O? have you ever had an extended conversation with him? How could you possibly speak to his intelligence?

Pretty sure there’s no such thing as a “rocket surgeon” - they’re called aeronautical engineers.

I didn't see anyone post this, but if you actually listened to the whole video, the analyst says, ".. and I put this all in caps: HE GOT OUT OF THE WAY".
One of the main points of the analysis is that O is not prideful nor defined by any pre-conceived philosophy. Whereas, Harbaugh and others of his ilk are chained to an old philosophy that no longer works in 2019, and they are too stubborn to change.
THAT is how O has "outsmarted" so many others.

He certainly has proven the doubters wrong, and outsmarted all other candidates for his position.
Smart =/= speaking well.
Take a break from all the hate/contrarianism.

Is that like a flight doctor?
