Here is what he had to say, per 247Sports.com:
Here is what he had to say, per 247Sports.com:
quote:What do you think Ed Orgeron needs to do to land the job full-time at the end of the season?
"He can win out and he can beat Alabama convincingly ... I think the powers that be in Baton Rouge - Joe Alleva, F. King Alexander and the Board - I think they're looking for something they've never had," McFarland said. "That's a head coach with an offensive background, a head coach that can bring a young quarterback in here and get some excitement. ... I don't know of anything, in my opinion, that he can do to keep this job."
Fellow analysts David Pollack and Joey Galloway said winning out - which would include victories over Alabama, Florida, Ole Miss, Arkansas and Texas A&M - would, and should, be enough for Orgeron to be the Tigers' permanent coach.
"I would love for Coach O to be the coach, he's my type of guy - he's a defensive line coach," McFarland said. "I would love for him to get that job - I'm just giving you the climate of what's down there and what the people want. They want a guy that can be a quarterback whisperer."
