Ed Orgeron spoke to the media on Tuesday evening and talked about how differently he handled hiring a new coaching staff this offseason, compared to the previous year when he admitted that he didn't even interview some of the coaches that were hired.
quote:

"I think we did a great job of hiring the coaches and a great job of interviewing them," Orgeron said. "I hired some coaches that I didn't even interview from the last staff and I'm never doing that again."

"On offense, I'm happy with them. I talked to Joe (Brady) about them, and I interviewed them. I told them exactly what I wanted and they had the answers. They are very smart. I couldn't be more pleased with them."

"Daronte (Jones) was like the fourth or fifth choice. But so was I. Who cares? He's here and he's doing a tremendous job. Andre Carter, I'm so excited about him as our DL Coach. Blake (Baker) is doing a great job."

"DJ (Mangas) and Jake (Peetz) are doing a great job. I'm very please with our offense and our defense."

Yeah well, I’ll take a coach who is able to admit his mistakes and learn from them over one who’s ego will not allow him to do either.

Maybe the decision was made over his head, without him interviewing them or giving his input. Maybe he told the head she'd he wouldn't agree to that any more. Maybe.
