Note To AD's around the country. Be very careful who you name as interim coach

Only if the coach is from the same state and you have stupid fans

We should have picked a worse coach right?

Should have picked Peveto

Just know that if they refuse to be called "interim", that's a major red flag.

It's ridiculous

I wish they had chosen someone else to avoid this

We still win the games we won regardless of interim

Yes, the best course of action after firing your head coach at the beginning of the season is to hire the LEAST qualified person on staff, who the fans and players can all HATE without exception and then root for them to LOSE as many games as possible.

Clearly, that would have been the better way to go for LSU.

Every interim coach knows that they are interviewing for the HC job while serving as interim. Every interim is going to do everything in their power to earn that job. That means winning games, saying the right things, getting the local media to like you, and winning the trust and respect of the team and former players.

Are you mad that Coach O did all of these things?

Do you just wish he'd lost more games so that he wouldn't be considered so seriously?

The guy has, for the most part, done all of the things LSU fans wanted when Miles was gone. He's been more open and seemingly honest with the media, he allowed the offense to start passing to TE's among other changes resulting in considerably improved yards and points per game stats since the coaching change, he showed energy and enthusiasm on the sidelines, he made major in-roads with recruits and former players, and he won the immediate respect of the players on the team.

He is not my number 1 choice because he couldn't beat Florida and Alabama, but if we strike out on my top two preferred candidates, I can't say that Orgeron isn't possibly my 3rd or 4th choice. If Orgeron is retained and paired with an accomplished OC not named Lane Kiffen, a solid D-line coach, and an outstanding special teams coach while retaining Aranda and Ensminger, I'm going to go ahead and call this a win, especially if Orgeron gets hired with a lower salary which allows the program to pump those savings into better coordinators, concourse improvements, and/or reductions in areas that are pay to park.

He's like the god damn Tim Tebow of interims

Do Les Miles and Coach Cam beat Ole Miss, Arkansas, and Texas A&M this year

Possibly. We'll never know. After watching this team vs Florida, we have no idea if O would have been Wisconsin or Auburn.

It's both easy to discredit what O has done and exaggerate his effectiveness.

Those weren't gimme games like some suggest. That was my point. Tired of people minimizing O's record as an argument for their preferred candidate. He doesn't deserve to be shite on for winning.
