Ed Orgeron Comments On His Relationship With Matt Canada & Dave Aranda

Orgeron is such a clown

I like O, but he's a fool if he thinks he knows anywhere near what Canada does about offense. He needs to be sitting in on every meeting the OC and DC are having with players. And updating his binder accordingly. He also needs to fire that shite show of a failed boat captain felon.

I’m a support O guy, but it’s so stupid that his pride, or whatever his reasoning, won’t just quash the whole Canada thing. All he has to say is “we started with some growing pains, but we’re professionals, it’s all behind us, and we’re all LSU.” Instead he openly “bristles,” so the media can comment on it. It’s not smart. If you hate each other, keep that behind closed doors.

Not a big deal. Never was. Media blowing everything out of proportion, as usual. Besides, Canada is obviously leaving as soon as he gets offered a good HC job elsewhere. I would rather focus on the relationship that O has with Aranda. We can replace Canada easy enough, but Aranda is the key to our success. Must have a strong defense to compete in the SEC!

He needs to STFU and let his offensive coaches coach because he doesn't know anything about offense!

O will be worse than Miles in his later years

Canada ran his mouth to board members after Troy game. Same thing happened at NC State. He’s not loyal to his employer. He has complained to people all year this isn’t his offsense. Other names are mentioned as the new coordinator. It might not be Steve.

Hey TD Staff Reporter, do any of you actually have any journalism experience? I ask because all you guys ever do is post Twitter comments from others.

If I remember correctly, I thought the issue had to do with Canada not wanting to adapt during games. Coach O wanted him to slow things down at times in order for the defense to get some rest, which I think is a reasonable request. If we score 3 unanswered TDs in the first quarter, do you still want to keep going up tempo? Maybe if we were playing in Conference USA, but once the defense adapts and your offense starts going 3 and out while using up little time on the clock, the defense begins to be on the field more and that is the type of shite that allows teams to come back. While coordinators should coach their side, everyone still has to be in sync. The offense can make the defense's job easier or more difficult and vice versa. From what I understand, Canada isn't the easiest person to work with. I am not "taking sides" on this. I don't care what the problem is, I only care about them fixing it and winning football games, but if I recall, this was an issue. Canada not wanting to sync his offense with the rest of the team.

Update: Scott Long of Dandy Don.com reports that LSU and Matt Canada will part ways after the Citrus Bowl. It looks like the Canada merry go round will end after 1 year with the Tigers. His employment term is not very impressive. Oh well, I feel reasonably sure O has a suitable replacement ready to roll.

Well, Genestealer 55, just last week Jeff Grimes announced he would be leaving after the bowl game and O immediately had Coach Cregg from the NFL to replace him. Next

Did Orgeron not learn a thing from the way things ended with Miles? FFS this is damn near the exact situation that got Miles fired. Why in the hell do you even hire Canada if you plan on not letting him run his offense?

O is a narcissist, and an arse.

Jesus Rockne might have a tough time coaching our O next season. Expect 10, 13, 17 final scores for us next season. No way to replace Guice, Chark and crew Coach O postering.

Remember, Pittsburgh offered Canada a raise to not leave. So I don't know where this be speculation is coming from when referring to Canada being a one and done coach.

If a coach comes in and makes 1.5 million per year as an OC at a school like LSU and cant get along and has a resume' that shows he is a job hopper you have to think the problem is with Canada. He is beginning to look as if he is a malcontent.

frick matt canada. He has been known for this exact thing at other programs he has been. He job hops, not only bc he is going to better jobs, but bc he can't seem to work well with the staff no matter where he is. I'm sure coach o has a very good reason for encouraging him to leave and I know he has a good plan in place to get another capable oc at LSU. He's made great coaching changes so far, so why would this be any different. I wouldn't be surprised if hugh freeze is coaching at LSU next season.

If Canada was being insubordinate with his superior after a reasonable request by his superior then I don't care how god he is, he immediately starts living on thin ice. If he is going behind your back and bad mouthing you and the others are not, then at the first available opportunity he gets canned. Whether you like Orgeron or not, he's the head coach and he is entitled to influence the direction of his team and his responsibilities. If Canada thinks he could do a better job as the head coach, then maybe he should go someplace where he can be a head coach or a head coach in waiting....etc.. I don't think any Div 1 coach worth his salt would put up with insubordination (if that is what happened) . Not Saban, not Dabo, Holgorsen, Bielema, Smart, Charlie Stong...not anybody.

Canada is a weak

Orgeron: Dave Aranda can't work harder. He can't be more loyal. ... "Dave knows how to game plan against anybody. I'm looking forward to his game plan against ND." #LSU
