Ed Orgeron Made It Clear That He Plans To Recruit Pro-Style Quarterbacks

Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports

During his radio show on Wednesday night, head coach Ed Orgeron made it clear that he wants to recruit pro-style quarterbacks in the future. Per The Advocate:

quote:
Pro-style QB recruiting: Asked about LSU’s perceived inability to recruit or develop quarterbacks under Les Miles, Orgeron made clear that he plans to recruit pro-style quarterbacks and prefers to recruit pro-style quarterbacks from Louisiana. LSU signed 17 quarterback in Miles’ 12-year tenure – nine pro-style quarterbacks and eight dual-threat quarterbacks. “I want a pro-style quarterback,” Orgeron said. “Louisiana has been rich in quarterbacks and pro-style quarterbacks. … We’re going to go anywhere in the country that we need to get them, but we’re going to look at Louisiana first.”

O has mastered listening to the fans and telling us what we want to hear. IMO, dual threat or pro style doesn't matter...he needs to recruit the best QBs he can get and build a suitable team around them.

pellietigersaint•91 months

Wrong. That's the problem. Have a clear plan....and execute it with system guys. Time to quit tailoring to talent. Hasn't worked

rob62•91 months

Well yes it matters. If you get QB who actually can complete a damn pass when he needs to, it matters.

blowmeauburn•91 months

Couldn't disagree more. That's been the problem. Need to go out and find the best guy to fit your scheme. Quit trying to recruit these spread guys who never play under center in high school and then bring them to handoff the ball the 50 times again from under center.

...IN. MY. PANTS.

TIGRLEE•91 months

LSUDAN1•91 months

Hell yeah. Lock him down.

Bleus•91 months

This is one of many things said that proves he actually possesses awareness unlike miles.

TaderSalad•91 months

And listens to his staff... unlike miles

OchoDedos•91 months

Hint..Hint..Jimbo runs a pro styled offense

TaderSalad•91 months

Do Not Want.

prepsportsallday•91 months

And got his arse whooped by Louisville's spread

chesty•91 months

Give coach O the job

Ghost of Colby•91 months

Coach O has long been a propenent of a pro style offense. His time at Miami & USC still heavily influences him.

prepsportsallday•91 months

Rude awakening. Bama and Ole Miss spread O is going to slap us right in the face.

TriDitty•91 months

The Rude awakening will be the brick wall that Bama's offense will hit on the 50 yard line in the Valley. Bring that crap to DBU. The defense is just getting started with Aranda.

WeeWee•91 months

Pay the man

Jack Ruby•91 months

O remembers the glory days of USC when he was there and all the NFL type quarterbacks they had...I really think he's going to make LSU hire him because the fans will love him so much.

prepsportsallday•91 months

Keep holding on to the glory days. See where that will get you. The junk yard exists for a reason.

Gumbo1•91 months

I love CEO but pump the brakes guys. If he runs the table and wins the SEC championship game, he deserves the permanent HC title. It would help him to make it to at least one play off game and hopefully win that. One game against Mizzu does not define him being the LSU head coach.

TaderSalad•91 months

Negatiger. We supported mediocre football for 12 years. We can get excited to see our team perform well no matter who we play. Very rarely have we ever come out and executed well for 4 full quarters.

earl keese•91 months

TaderSalad, "We supported mediocre football for 12 years." I knew you were an idiot as soon as I read that part of your post. If you really believe that, you'll never be happy with LSU football. I realize that not all of the past 12 years have been sunshine and lollipops, but your statement shows what a hateful moron you are.

OceanMan•91 months

Mediocre football? Wtf are you babbling about

TheHat7•91 months

What does that mean for Lowell Narcisse ?? He's a big time talent.

prepsportsallday•91 months

Sound like we don't want him. He's definitely not a pro style QB.

Shiftyplus1•91 months

And his legs are made of glass apparently.

semjase•91 months

One of the best Pro-Style QB's in the Country is right down road about 2 hours East and he's already committed to LSU. Make him a Priority to not let get away a la Feleipe Franks................

prepsportsallday•91 months

What makes him pro style, he's never under center?

TaderSalad•91 months

I'm getting to the point where if we don't make him the HC for at least a season or two, I will be very disappointed. The man is good for business down here.

udtiger•91 months

"Dual threat" is dead. Thank God

prepsportsallday•91 months

Not at Bama and Ohio State.

prepsportsallday•91 months

I hate to say it, but the top 2 teams in the country are Bama & Ohio state. Both have gone spread, both use DT QBs. LSU is always behind in the football progress. "Modern Football" requires QBs that can give you both. Wait till Bama when the OL is overwhelmed. You'll see then what the lack of a DT will get you.

Datbayoubengal•91 months

Brennan does give us both. The funny thing is that you have people that say they don't want a spread QB and Brennan is 100% spread. I don't want a bullshite pro style offense though. It's time to go spread. That's one of the reasons why I don't think Coach O should get the job. You have all these high school spread QBs and systems down here in Louisiana and Texas, yet you swim against the current by going pro style? Wake TF up!

prepsportsallday•91 months

Datbayoubengal - Agreed

prepsportsallday•91 months

As to the future HC. Though I like CEO, I'm not sold after one game. Additionally, I'm interested in getting a guy who can give us a modern offense. Mizzou is a game that dictated that we run with their weaker DL. Let hold off till you see how we adjust vs stronger opponents.

rilesrick•91 months

Preps we threw it 30 times WTF....
