You asked for points.

I gave you points.

It's not my fault you don't like them.

The point is you have to try to get the best coach out there. O does not have the best resume. He doesn't, and you can't refute that.

You love O? I do too.

I don't think he should be in the top tier of candidates to replace Miles. I'm sorry, but he's not.


I totally agree he doesn't have the best paper resume. My point is: some of you are putting way too much stock in a paper resume. How can you not see the failures year after year from people who dominate at lower levels and can't make it at the big schools?

I'm not saying it can't happen because obviously it does. The best had to start somewhere. But the Hermans and Flecks are no where near sure things guys.

So the idea that Orgeron is no where near in their league just because they have done something at smaller schools is just not valid imo.

The best possible job interview you can have the opportunity for is what Ed Orgeron has going right now. Idk how you can possibly argue that. We can all agree "fit" matters to some degree. Well he has a great chance to determine all of that over the next few weeks.

So who are your top 5 targets?


Herman - Won more games in his first year of being a HC than O did in 3 years at a much lower quality school.

Jimbo - Won 3 ACC championships, an NC, and top 5 recruiting classes

Petrino - Wins everywhere he goes. Had Arky in the Sugar bowl.

Fleck - Took a horrible bottom dweller and made them respectable in a few years. Has that same team ranked for the first time in history.

I'm not claiming Chip Kelly has any interest, but if he does, he goes up to 1 or 2.

All those guys have always been winners.

Has O ever been found to have violated a serious NCAA rule? I don't think he has.
He and Kiffen were shady as hell at their short time at TN. And can you say 'Da U'?

Pro style QBs in LA? Again, not worried about his ability to find the right recruits.

We'll just have to disagree here. It would be awesome if there were Pro guys out there ready to go. But it's been proven year after year that LA is a spread option state, and a very good one with athletes all over the place.

That is an obvious advantage for LSU, if it's utilized. Going to TX and other states to find a Pro style QB is much more difficult than getting a spread guy in your backyard. It'll be hit or miss.
