I hope Dave Aranda understands that LSU could burn to the ground...

$1.8 million he can afford a fire suit.

He will not have a hard time finding a job if it's needed.

I hope you pellet heads understand you need to get a life. The decision is made, O is the coach, move on. Please stop whining like a third grade girl. If you can't support the Tigers then try Tulane or Southeastern. Under the circumstances we made the right decision. I wonder if you would like every decision you made put on display for critique. If O doesn't work out we will get someone else. You must have a miserable life to let a sport control your very being. Take it from an old man, there are more important things in life than who is the coach at LSU. Treat him like you would want to be treated. Just Saying!

No, we didn't. And to admit that does not mean that you don't support LSU.

I think we made the right decision. Do you realize if we would have landed Herman or Jimbo and they would have folded under the pressure it would have cost a fortune to buy them out because their contracts would have been way more stringent than coach o's. Let the man at least have a year as HC before you start talking all this shite. With the right OC hire we will be just fine, anything is better then Les Miles offense and dont say well we ran a lot of Les Miles offense with CEO as interim...YES BECAUSE YOU CANNOT CHANGE A WHOLE OFFENSE AND PLAY BOOK FOUR GAMES INTO THE SEASON

Pretty bad timing for this post considering they're still pulling bodies out of the mass fire in Oakland.
Stupid post anyway.

Well said... a million upvotes for you.

I'm sure he had no clue. We'll be sure that he sees your well thought out and enlightening post on a message board. We are lucky to have guys like you looking out for the program.

Under the circumstances that Joe Alleva created by being too incompetent to perform a legitimate coaching search?
Why can't you dumbasses understand that criticizing Alleva and this "coaching search" isn't a criticism of Orgeron. It's just reality.
But IF he has a top flight OC and IF he has a top DC and IF he can continue to recruit and IF....sure, he may very well be successful.
But we fired our head coach in September and hired his DL coach....if you can't see the problem with that then something is wrong with you.

There are no circumstances where hiring a 55 year old career dline coach as hc, is the right decision. We just hired a coach that wouldnt get interviewed at Kentucky or Vandy.
If youre ok with this hire youre the reason we will never reach Bama's level.

Lol no. It's not even up for debate. It was 100% the wrong decision to hire O. There was never even a coaching search.

Worse than that, he didn't even get interviewed for the Syracuse job.

What are these circumstances which make hiring a DL coach looking for a job two years ago and who had a miserable record as a HC the last time he had full control for a program ever the right decision for a school with the elite success such as LSU since 2000? No program in college had hired O as a HC in over a decade and no SEC program but LSU would have hired O this year.

If this is an example of a valid search, what makes anyone think the next search would offer LSU anything better?
O might turn out to be the next Saban, but the process used to select him will still have been a failure. If this process doesn't scare you for our future, you are the pellet head.
We fire Miles because his success wasn't good enough for LSU and then we hire a DL coach who couldn't win 40% of his games as a HC when he had full control of a program. We rush to hire a DL coach who no one in college had even offered a DC position to in over ten years and who would have still been available as a HC if we had waited until January to make the hire.
I can fully support LSU football and not support a clown like hiring process that tells me because we couldn't hire the two coaches everyone wanted, we should accept as HC a guy no one wanted.

I personally agree with you, and agree that the belief that O wasn't the right hire doesn't automatically call your fandom into question. I didn't agree with the hire without a much broader search, either. A lot of us who aren't poised on the edge of a bridge ready to jump off didn't agree with it.
However, a lot of people on these boards are going a lot further than just disagreeing with it. When you actually wish harm on the program because you didn't get what you want, you quite literally no longer support what's best for LSU. That may not be you, but there are many. A hell of a lot more than there should be, especially in absence of hard evidence to go on since the hire. Aranda signing the contract extension is one of a very small number of decisions that we know about so far. Everything else is just rumor and conjecture. There's no excuse for all this insanity based on so few facts. It's just immature, spoiled brat, bandwagon fan bullshite.
What you say and what these people are doing aren't mutually inclusive, but there a lot of people here running around with their hair on fire claiming that the program collapsing is truly what's best for the team. That is completely and totally illogical right now. So, not all who disagree really do support our program right now. It isn't a binary issue.

Miles was not fired only because of football success. He was fired based upon a number of factors such as failure to make a change in his offense despite his assurance he would. The lack of enthusiasm from his players and fans. The sense that the season was going down hill rapidly and overall general feeling. Orgeron made an immediate impact on the morale of the team and fans. He was not my first choice. But he is the choice. I will never trash the tigers. We shall see if he has improved. In the meantime I got ducks and deer to kill.
