Yesterday, coach O stated that he knew we were in for a rough game at state because of how lethargic practices were last week. This is very concerning to me because he based his whole reputation on keeping the energy high with this program. Only three games in and the energy is gone.

He should of showed some energy to the ref after the first TD came back. He stood there gnawing on his fingernail instead.

Im wondering if the locker room is a divided house amongst players and coaches.

Competition for playings time could have caused some animosity.

This is about repetition. With kids, you have to practice it many times. Can't treat this team like a bunch of veterans because they haven't ran enough together to be consistent.
He is just too dumb to admit it and stupid to see the issues on film. Maybe the reason Miles practiced them so hard was to eliminate errors! Wtf!

Yeah that's sad. Nobody wanted to admit it but I thought this game was huge for his coaching career at lsu. He had to know that it was almost a must win game. He didn't need to have the fan support gone so early and not only did he lose but he did it in record fashion. The guy is a very likely in over his head and lsu is stuck with him for a little while. After the school sees more empty seats and lost revenues they will be forced to consider other options. Alleva and Alexander need to go soon. Then Orgeron can get lost after next year if he doesn't show big improvement.

He needs to tighten the bunch up.

I'll give him a pass on the talent gap left from so many starters leaving - but this is the most undisciplined team I can ever recall seeing. That in itself is inexcusable.

where is the Ed O that would do shirtless pushups in homes of recruits? where is the Ed O who would drink 4-5 redbulls a day?

If we are going to go 8-4/7-5 I at least want to see some action and fire from Ed O

I thought O is making practices less time so that the players have energy for the actual game. You guys and media are raving about how inovative that idea is and it's a coaching genius. Now it is the problem.

Well thank goodness he isn't working them so hard in practice that they have nothing left for the game


Dude is a fraud of a head coach. A liar and a fraud. This is Ole Miss 2.0 people, same shite, 12 years later

I knew for sure we were fricked with the first shot of O looking clueless and terrified on the sideline.

That's what bothers me. Coach O was supposed to be a really high energy guy. Not even 3 games into his tenure, he has no energy, and the team won't even play hard for him either. 3 freaking games. This is very very VERY concerning to me.

Just a small example of how the injection of energy from a interim coach is extremely hard to sustain as the permanent HC.
