Coach o has played the political game like a master. He has made friends with the media by opening practice and being honest with injury reports. He has recruited boosters playing on the local la boy angle. Meanwhile we have fans convinced coach o is better at his job than jimbo fisher. It's insane.

so now we're hiring coaches and electing presidents so that we can watch a "glorious melt"....awesome


I hope we aren't but if O is hired it will be glorious. You have to admit that at least.

I would want Jimbo and Herman(if he ain't locked in at Texas) first and 2nd but after that it's a crap shoot.

It's been clear from day 1


It is clear that Alleva is an idiot, no need to fire Miles in Sept and let O try to lay claim to the job (O did the same thing at USC), should have let Miles crash and burn and fire him after the Bama game. That way the interim coach could not have used the season as an "audition" and we could have had a clean search. No advantage to "start" the search that early, all the good candidates were busy and no one will commit to anything even verbally without knowing what else is available.

This shouldn't surprise anyone and it's not unique to Louisiana, although there is a special kinda stupid among some of the fans.

Emotional movements, hires, elections -not based on rational thought - are happening all too often and it's only getting worse with social media.

From BLM, to Trump supporters (will see a huge rain of down votes, but it is what it is), to Miles and O supporters, none of these people are rational.

We're in a social media, soundbite controlled world. It kinda sucks...

And our fricktard fans are actually arguing that he's a better HC than Fisher. I'm actually thrilled LSU made the coaching change when they did because these same mongoloids would be wanting to keep Miles another year.

And I love O. But if you think he should be the 1st or 2nd choice to just hand the keys over to him, then you are a fricking idiot/simpleton.


Why has Jimbo's team looked very average to bad in some games this season? O's team held Bama to zero points until the 4th quarter and has taken care of business in the other games.

I don't know that O would be a better pick than Jimbo, but the players play hard for O and I think we'd be fine with either coach. Much like most head coaches, you live & die by how good your assistant coaches are.

Is O incapable of hiring great assistants? Is not having high dollar assistants the reason why Jimbo has looked very average this season?

Stud Bud, your foul-mouthed name calling makes you come across as petty and ignorant. Maybe you're.

I'll give you petty, but ignorant because I think the resumes from other candidates or better than O?

I'm sorry. That's just a fact.

And FSU is rebuilding. LSU has been in rebuild mode going on 5 years and this was the opportunity to win some hardware.

That's not O'a fault.

I'm just pointing out that FSU can have rebuild years too and Fisher's resume is easily way above Orgeron and our fans want to GIVE him the job based on 8 games.

You won't be thinking it's glorious when we're averaging 7-8 wins per year.

The poll on TD with Jimbo vs O, O got 26%. With several hundred respondents.

Not to mention, the majority are idiots.

Except this board is no where near the majority of fans.

Now are the ignorant, when it comes to picking a football coach. Yes they are as are 99% on here.

We will hire whomever Alleva decided. I'm hoping it's a good one

its crazy how they've built the narrative that this is Jimbo vs. O.....They throw Jimbo in as the #1 to appear unbiased and if it falls apart they can scream for O.

O's resume doesn't crack the top 10 of potential coaches that will want this job, yet I'm to believe he's #2? GTFO.

None of those other coaches could have beaten the teams that O has this year Bil.

Pomansky has promised access in the event O gets the gig.

This is getting ugly. It's sounding like the O PR team may be overplaying their hand.

The one positive about this stuff with 0 is that he doesn't get a home game to close out the year. You won't see 0 being carried off on the shoulders of "his" team, or hear "We want Coach 0!" chants. Maybe a little bit, but not in the same way.

You can tell Ponamsky and company are desperately working to replicate last year's situation this year. Won't happen.
