re: If you had a time machine, would you prevent LSU from hiring coach O?

“Two horrific seasons” is an apt description. It certainly wasn’t worse than that.

We wouldn’t have had 2019.

Yep, 2019 was the best season ever for a team in College Football History. We will tell our Grandkids about it, keep us warm in cold times. It’s something no one in Football has, and a trump card in any sports argument, maybe forever, with the number of ranked teams beat that year. So no, can’t through out the baby with the bath water….

No, and I didn't really need to think about it either. Like him or not, he put together 2019.

You gotta be crazy. I would trade twenty 2021 seasons for one 2019. Best season ever!

Sorry I read that wrong, I took that as him coming here

But if we continue the slide, I absolutely would, because at the time O was hired, our program actually wasn’t in the gutter, and the right coach could have still won titles AND prevented the slide
No way would I be ok with another 10 years in the desert

Nope. We got the best college football team of all time, the best season by a QB of all time leading the best college offense of all-time, who won only the 2nd Heisman in school history and 1st in over 60 years. Had a ton of 1st round picks, including the #1 overall, who took his shite NFL team to the Super Bowl in only his 2nd season and became kind of a national favorite. Justin Jefferson brought the griddy from LSU that became the the most recognizable touchdown celebration maybe since the Ickey Shuffle as he had probably the best 1st 2 WR seasons in NFL history. Which may be surpassed by his LSU running mate Jamar Chase—who actually may break Jefferson’s record. And we won a Fiesta Bowl the year before for good measure.
However much credit or not you want to give Orgeron, it’s undeniable that the LSU football brand grew exponentially during his tenure. It’s cool to go to LSU. Yeah, we had a couple terrible seasons (by LSU standards—we still were right around .500), and it was definitely time for him to go. But now we’’ve got Brian Kelley for the next 10 years. Where would we be if Alleva had actually pulled Jimbo or Herman? Way worse than here, I promise you that.
His last 2 years sucked cock. But it was worth it a million times over.

But I def don’t think we would be in our current state either

You’ve lost your mind
Posted on 6/7/22 at 6:02 pm to lsupride87
No. We got a national championship out of it. Give credit where credit is due.
Posted on 6/7/22 at 6:04 pm to lsupride87
BIG NO. 2019 was worth my soul!!!
Posted on 6/7/22 at 6:04 pm to lsupride87
Nope, I wouldn’t at all. He got us a Title and Burrow. Granted the last 2 years have sucked horribly bad, but I’ll trade that in for 2019. We also have Brian Kelly now. So all in all, everything worked out pretty nicely wouldn’t you say?

If I had a time machine, I fast forward to Burrow, Chase, Jefferson, Clyde’s NFL HoF Induction ceremony
Right after steering LSU to hire Aranda instead of O.

A bird in the hand(2019) is worth two in the bush (“possible” nattys with whatever coach we might have gotten)
Yeah I’ll definitely stick with O if it means keeping 2019 and the greatest team of all time. No debate here.

Heck no. Greatest season of all time!!!
If I had a time machine, I’d have collected a ton of dirt on him and then two weeks after winning the title, demand he step down or else I release the dirt.
We get the title, and we get rid of him earlier.

There us no way to undo the past. The question is moot. We did extremely well with him until we did not. Move on.

Yes. I’d have hired Dave Aranda and the team would have won a NC within the next four years without a doubt.
