Orgeron inviting former players to join LSU in walk down Victory Hill

Ed Orgeron’s sweeping changes at LSU aren’t just relegated to current players and staff members.
The program’s interim coach is opening practice to all former players and inviting them to join the team’s traditional walk down Victory Hill before home games, according to an email the university sent to ex-players that The Advocate obtained.
“As many of you are aware, we have endured a major change on our LSU Football coaching staff. At this time, Head Coach Ed Orgeron will take over as commander and chief,” Kristen H. Cain, in charge of LSU’s special events & community relations, wrote in the email.
“After speaking with him briefly yesterday morning, his vision is to empower our former Tigers to feel welcomed back on campus,” the email, sent Tuesday morning, said. “Coach O would like to open practice to the former players for the rest of this season and would also like to make it available for our former players to lead the team down Victory Hill on game day. This will create the excitement that we all know follows the purple and gold and to continue the trend that we are all ‘Tigers for Life.’”
Les Miles, fired Sunday along with offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, only sometimes opened practices to former Tigers, and he did not necessarily invite them to practice. The coach is also opening up practices to all high school coaches. The walk down Victory Hill is normally reserved for current players and staff members.

And a lot of people want to know why many LSU fans wouldnt have a problem with him as HC if he has success this year. This is exactly why.

I'm down with it.....if he can motivate my lazy azz to come down and fight the traffic and other shite in order to see the game.....thats a miracle in itself.

He reminds me of someone who just finished a book about leadership 101. He's going down the checklist and no option - gimmick or otherwise - will be left on the table. I can't say I blame him.

He's a ra-ra guy. High energy, to use the popular phrase. Let's just leave it at that until the season is done.

He's got no choice.....the fanbase and team are fragmented....its a perfect way to put azzes in seats and ramp up the enthusiasm.

the next thing he'll need to do is to figure out to how keep those behinds in the seats past halftime.

Definitely, and he should do everything he can to impress the decision makers.
I said in another thread that him taking the interim title has dwindled his fate at LSU to two options - he'll either be the head coach or he won't be on the staff at all. He won't go down without a fight though, and I can respect the hell out of him for that.
