Do you really think we fired Miles mid season without having another coach?

I mean, after what happened last season, do you think we just fired Miles mid season without having a coach basically locked up?

Or, do you think that Orgeron really had a chance?

Or, was Orgeron in on the whole thing, was promised $750K for doing a good job, and this whole thing was essentially settled a couple of months ago?

Thoughts?

This would have been the intelligent business decision.

You can't be serious. This chaos is real at all levels, I'm afraid.

If we just fired Miles with no idea what we were going to do next ... Wow. That is just unreal.

Miles was fired in an attempt to salvage this season...

So you think we secretly negotiated with and "hired" a coach in September?

It was gonna be O if he won out excluding bama, and that is a damn shame it was even an option imo.

I am confident there was no plan in place.

Pure speculation, but I think they were keeping all options open. O was an option until he wasn't.

Yes.

I think Alleva was hoping (praying) that Orgeron would either go undefeated or get only one loss so that it would be an easy transition to sell to the fanbase.....

Guys, we have had Herman on the hook since the beginning of the year. All of this stuff will be resolved shortly. Yes, there's a reason why we reached out to Jimbo because of the uncertainty about Texas and whether or not they could get Herman but rest assured everything will be fine. At this point Jimbo is actually the fallback option and with things coming to light its looking better and better for Herman to LSU. I think the way Texas is acting assures that we have Herman locked up.

The information coming out right now is only new us.

FSU had a full year to make Jimbo unattainable and they sat on their hands. This counter offer being waved around is so they can tell the FSU fan base "we tried", before they announce fedora as their new head coach.
