Ed Orgeron: We Want Guys That Want To Help Build A Championship, Not Just Join One

You're such a voice of reason!

Never really kept a close eye on recruiting over the years, but it seems that over the past year or so, there has been an alarming number of the defections from the recruiting program. Is it just me?

Well you really didn't pay attention to recruiting this year yes, Alabama stole CB Patrick Surtain Jr. but that was about it. Nick Saban and his cronies went after the prospects that signed with LSU really, really hard and got nothing I think Bama signed 2 recruits with the highest being a 3* CB. Unlike last year Coach O said he was going to stop that Northern Louisiana to Alabama pipeline and he did just that Saban tried but came away with zelch. I know there's a lot of hate around here for Coach O but you have to give him credit he literally cancelled Nick Saban free reign of Louisiana players and that is one thing he said he was going to do and he actually did it, BRAVO! Now if he can do the same next year keep that fence up around Louisiana LSU will finish #1 or 2 in the country with the local talent in the State next year. GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!!PURPLEREIGN?????????

"take the easy way out"????? By going to Alabama? Where the competition to even get on the field is extreme? Would you also tell an NFL player he should want to play for the Browns instead of the Patriots?

Have to agree with atltiger here. Most players want to go where they will have to compete against the best, and at Bama that’s the guy that’s lining up beside you and in front of you in practice.

A good coach could come into LSU and build a championship program. I have no doubt.

Well seeing it’s his first year give the man a break. Anyone remember nick Satan’s first year at LSU? What about at Bama? Lost at home to Univ of Louisiana monroe. It takes time, give the man 3 years before you start bashing his recruiting. He took over a mess.

"but I'll take every kid that wants to come here and fight."... Really? Is that our new recruiting standard? Is that the hiring a coach because "it's his dream job."

I agree atltiger, from some of these comments you’d think we were discussing Tulane recruiting. Remember when LSU was an elite program that competed at the highest level? A program that didn’t have to play up the underdog card? It wasn’t that long ago.

LSU has been left holding their jockstraps multiple times with recruits like this.(surtain) And if what you say is true about Goodrich, then shame on the staff. As the "burn me once" saying goes.....

Larry hasn’t reported anything about Surtain Sr getting any job in Tuscaloosa? Are you being deceitful Douche337?

He hasn't been hired by Alabama. There was talk but it hasn't happened. Stop spreading fake news.

I wish a maniac would tape Nick’s balls to his throat
