if we go 6-6, Orgeron will not coach a 3rd year

I pray you are right but fear you are wrong.

Finebaum is a worthless arse clown.

The Jerry Springer of sports shows.

NotLSUSports•98 months

This is what happens when you hire a potato a your head coach.

BayouTiga•98 months

What happens? A 'pencil dick' makes a prediction and the sky is falling? Double dose your meds and sleep it off!

GoRuckTiger•98 months

Bull shite. The Defense alone should keep LSU from going 6-6.

Jimmydatiger•98 months

Correct and it is possible that an all SEC CB will not report till August. Little bit of offense will go along way with this d line rotation, all sec/american linebacker and senior safeties plus Delpit. CB worries overblown - w Greedy all you need is one guy to step up, Joseph????? He could show up and be a freak he runs a 4.3. Why is 10-2 or 11-1 impossible. You guys have no way of knowing what talent shows up or doesn't and if you think 6-6 is possible remember so does Moron Finebaum and Phyllis from Mulva.

Jack Daniel•98 months

I see they have a lot of confidence in the head ogre

lsuohiofan•98 months

Well if it comes true then another coaching search will occur.

KennabraTiger•98 months

Only if Joe Alleva gets canned

BigPerm30•98 months

6-6 seems a little optimistic. Hire a real coach.

BowDownToLSU•98 months

If LSU has a 6th loss. I predict less than 30k at the final home game. That is what get coaches and AD's fired

Placebeaux•98 months

Spoiled unrealistic fans

Nix to Twillie•98 months

So we should be cool with 6-6 or we’re spoiled and unrealistic?

DrEdgeLSU•98 months

Even during the 3-8 1999 season we had 60k plus in Tiger Stadium. Don’t be so dramatic.

My golf game will be smokin' with all the saturday rounds I'll get in this year. See you baws on the course.

damnedoldtigah•98 months

It took even Saban more than a year to rebuild at both LSU and Bama. There is a line in the sand on evaluating the program but it won't be this year. I am nowhere as concerned now in contrast to when Hallman was HC. We even survived him. If the worst happens, the program will survive that. However, for now back off and give the man a fair chance to let him do his job.

TaderSalad•98 months

Show me where Saban was fired from every HC spot he had prior to rebuilding LSU? The difference here is that one created a winning program with shite and the other has created shite with a winning program.

Spock's Eyebrow•98 months

How would 6-6 go over? I predict an angry mob marching on Ogre's office with pitchforks and torches in hand.

tigerpawl•98 months

This is what you get when you don’t cut your losses early.

Placebeaux•98 months

Every skill position player on offense has a new starter. I think we do better than 6-6 but winning the West is not going to happen.

Drizzt•98 months

frick ESPN

Load Toad•98 months

Time for a new coach

Loaner1231•98 months

Ceiling for the team is 7-5 so 6-6 isn’t unreasonable.

GoneFishing21•98 months

Interesting you found the ceiling.

GoneFishing21•98 months

If we get 8 wins does that mean the ceiling is still 7?

Loaner1231•98 months

Finding 7 wins was a stretch, 8 seems out of the question.

I can easily see 6 losses. But that would depend on Florida and A&M 's new coaches. I'd like to think we roll those like we did last year, but we're talking about premium coaches with full support. Miami, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, A&M. Add in another embarrassing loss (MS State or Ole Miss) and we're not even considering another Troy loss.

Hopefully We win the close ones but It's hard to give us the odds when we have questions at QB and Running Back. We don't have any luxury this year like we did last year (and squandered that luxury last year also) with the schedule.

drdoct•98 months

Sorry, Troy type loss, not an actual Troy loss

Biggun53•98 months

No bigg questions at QB.. Brennan is all that he is hype to be... Book it.. He will rewrite the record books at LSU...

biglego•98 months

6-6? Alleva would run and give O a new contract so some other team doesn’t snap him up.

TNTigerman•98 months

A long summer awaits us.

Bestbank Tiger•98 months

I'm O-negative but I still think we do better than 6-6.
