I asked whether Sampson was quoting or not. I searched the story again, and I did not find what he was claiming were quotes.

You can go be a dumb arse with him. Your feelings are obviously hurt by anyone daring to question the hiring process.

when he's all but admitted that he fricked up.


I live in another state so I don't get all the LSU news.
When did he say that?
What did he say?
TIA

Come on, man. If you think that a thorough coaching search resulted in the O hire, I don't know what to tell you, other than that minimum wage manual laborers do contribute to society too, and I don't look down on you. I just am thankful that you're not making executive decisions.

You aren't answering my question. From your personal attack, I can only deduce that you have no answer and were making that up. And since this is the Rant, people who don't know shite and are making up shite is always a strong possibility.

As far as executive decision making ability goes I sincerely doubt that you have the ability, training, stamina and/ or intelligence to run a snow ball stand much less managing the LSU athletic department.

Seriously do in your wildest dreams thing you could be the LSU Athletic director?

Man, I love this story. I'm no coaching expert, but I've been hiring people for about 10 years now and watching them develop in their roles. Very few qualities are more important than passion and love for the job. I'm really pulling for him to be great. And I think he will be.

That's nice. My draw says otherwise, but if it makes you feel better, knock yourself out.

Posted by Scoob on 8/21/17 at 7:43 pm to BBJ Kind of disturbing to me that his reaction to the Florida loss was "we still have a chance". Chance for what? Sugar Bowl? Nope, they lost that. Nothing team-oriented remained. Only chance for anything was just Orgeron's own personal gain, becoming permanent head coach.



Where in this post do you see anything about the hire or process of the hire? I just said in the article Alleva actually admits not doing his job on the search.

The question was in the context of him retaining the job and he comes back with "all O could think about was himself. Ironically it's pretty damn self serving in its self.

quote:

"OK. Here’s the thing after the game: I didn’t think of just that play with Derrius. I didn’t. You can’t. "Right now, I can remember how I prepared the team. I remember all the distractions [the game was relocated from Gainesville amid Hurricane Matthew]. Before the game, we were a little too hyped. We wanted to fight, actually fight. And we end up having one before the game. Then Leonard’s not gonna play; then he is gonna play. "It just really, really reminded me of Notre Dame vs. Miami in 1988 [Orgeron was a Hurricanes assistant]. We go out, have a fight in the tunnel, same stuff. Now, it’s not the same magnitude of that game, but the same thing happens. We’re all jacked up after a fight and then have 13 penalties.


This proves he's not just thinking about himself but in the players and the program. It could have gotten much worse after the FL game but it didn't.

quote:

"Next morning, I woke up. Sick. I knew we had a meeting that day. First guy I call on the phone is Derrius. I say, ‘Hey man, we still got a shot. Let’s go.’ "I knew if I was feeling this way, the team was feeling this way. So I had to coach myself up. I had to get a little bit more jacked up than I do on a Sunday. Guys come in, and I’m high-fivin’ them. Guice come in with a hood on, head down. I go up to him in front of everyone. I took that hood off, and I said, ‘I love you. Watch what happens next game.’


Again moving on, leading by example, not letting the most talented player get down in front of everyone, that can have a big impact on the entire team.

Again the whole article is about O's desire to be head coach at LSU, why wouldn't he believe? Stfu

We should have locked up Herman after the Florida game. We will be looking for a new HC in 2 years. I hope I am wrong.

Well you called me a dumbass, for calling him out, for completely missing the context of the article. So I think we all know who the real dumbass is here for backing up the dumbass's claim that O was only thinking of himself after the FL loss. Maybe you aren't a dumbass, just clueless. I'm out.

Your draw? Louisiana does a lot of thing differently, but I never heard of any of your major corporations that pay their top management on a draw.

Who pays the CEO of a corporation on a draw?

Of course not. My post assumes that you're comparing people who are qualified for the job. In many cases a resume and paper statistics are not great proxies for success in a given job. Otherwise qualified coaches succeed at certain schools or on certain teams, but fail at similar jobs with slightly different circumstances. Passion, love for the job, and walking into the right environment are X factors that can be hard to measure.

I'm just fricking with you. I want nothing more than to be wrong about this hire.
