LSU senior defensive lineman Christian LaCouture spoke to the media on Monday and said that the fans that are calling for Ed Orgeron to be fired are disrespectful and that the blame shouldn't fall all on him, but also on the players.
quote:

I think it's disrespectful and it's absurd," LaCouture said.

"Coach O is a guy that has put everything into this football program. We didn't execute. He had a great gameplan for us this week. Blame it on us. Me being one of the leaders of the team... I didn't help prepare the team well enough."

"When people say stuff like that us, it really hurts us as a team. We feel bad for Coach O because he does not deserve that at all.

it is on the players and the coaches. You lost to Troy dude, you should be hurting as a team.

Absolutely a complete effort(or lack thereof) by players and coaches.

So you guys haven't been motivated enough to play harder for the guy? It'll cost the man his job!

Yeah, I don't think we need player advice on coaching decisions. That's backfired on LSU twice now.

Lacouture made the mistake of believing the fans calling for O to be fired are either reasonable or intelligent. The same people who propped Les up for 4 miserable seasons are not giving CEO even one season.

I keep hearing he same thing over and over. We didn’t execute, we didn’t play like we should have, we made mistakes, etc. 5 games in, when is this going to get fixed? I don’t care how young the team is, there is no excuse to lose to Troy. There is no excuse for Troy to win in the trenches. Quit making excuses and do your jobs!!!!!

Just glad the Troy loss is bringing national coverage to Alleva and resurfacing his mismanagement at Duke, including poor hires--one leading to a scandal--and the handling of the Duke lacrosse case. Duke had to be shocked, let alone relieved after the hire.

Leadership is not words. It is actions. Don’t say a damn thing. Prove the fans wrong. You Christian and Orgeron. I have faith in you trying hard. I have zero faith in the guy that you’re defending.

We understand that execution was an issue. My question is WHY was execution an issue? Discipline? Lack of experience? How do you correct it going forward?

Someone how LSU fans think they have more at stake than the players. They think getting wasted on Saturday is equivalent to the workouts and practices the players go through.

Lol. That's one of the best posts I've read in a while. Funny because it's true.

Well why doesn't the team go out and play for Coach O? Getting hammered in the trenches on both sides of the ball by the likes of Troy, Mississippi State, and Syracuse.

No matter what happens, rest assured that Alleve will be throwing others under the bus as the end of his reign nears.

If Ed Oregon and our dim-witted Athletic Director had ANY class, both would resign immediately.

And forfeit their huge buyouts? Why would anyone with any financial sense di that?

Okay. Please stop with the fire Coach O crap. It’s only hurting recruiting. His buyout is $12 million this year, which he successfully negotiated. He doesn’t sound that dumb to me. Plus, another $8million to Les. That’s $20 million after only 5 games. It ain’t happening! If you must focus on firing someone, Alleva is your man. I don’t know his contact details, but he has been a terrible AD anywhere he’s been. We’ got several players returning this week from injury, and currently have the #6 ranked recruiting class in the nation for 2018! Let’s get behind this team and keep the recruits wanting to come to LSU. I know we all want the same thing! Remember: Saban lost to ULM and went 7-6 his first season at Alabama. Just saying.

Everyone wants to shoulder the blame, but no one wants to take responsibility and appropriate the necessary change.

While I was watching I kept saying to myself..."this is a great gameplan". Let's do this same gameplan next week too.

He's right. It is absurd calling for a coach to get fired 5 games into his first season regardless of what you think of the hire.

I'll trust the players on these matters.
