At Ole Miss he was head coach AND defensive coordinator.

LINK

Defensive rankings nationally:

2005 - 26th
2006 - 74th
2007 - 89th (John Thompson was DC)

LINK

Maybe Germans, but I seem to recall many posts on here that O has "never even been a coordinator". Not true.

That's cool he failed at DC and HC. Good to know!

Kind of lines up with his narrative that he tried to do too much

So the only person who would hire O to run their defense was O, and he failed at it.

Cool

On an other matter...Did O actually earn his degree while at NWS? Some are saying NO and that may be an issue.

You might have been better off not bringing this up if you were trying to help Coach O's case.

So the defense was worse every year he was coordinating it?

Cool.

I'm not at all. I'm on record for Herman or Jimbo. Just making the point that he has been a DC and look at his defensive rankings.

It's WAY too early for so many to be wanting to hand this job to O, the next 4 games are the real meat of the schedule.

FIFY, but I'm sure he did.

Maybe the stats/rankings at that link are wrong, I don't know.

For the record, Orgeron was the DC his first 2 seasons. He hired John Thompson as the DC his last year.

If your goal was to somehow improve the view many have about Coach O's resume, you just fail miserably. This only makes it look worse, not better.

Now instead of being view just as a failed HC, he is now viewed a failed HC and DC. Congrats.

Why does he have to have an agenda? He thought it was surprising as did pretty much everyone who posts on here because its never mentioned.

You fail miserably for jumping to conclusions.

If you'd read my second post you'd see I'm not on the O train.

Fair enough. I'll edit my original post.
