quote:

Nobody has tied his hands regarding money, at least not yet, and nobody has told him who he can and cannot hire. If I had to guess, LSU athletic director Joe Alleva has made him aware of what the public perception on this deal is, but this is what he wants.


quote:

Other candidates were discussed, although rumors regarding Kendal Briles and Hugh Freeze are 100-percent false, based on multiple conversations both inside and outside the program. Orgeron never expressed interest in hiring either to LSU leadership, nor did LSU leadership tell him “no.”


You can read the rest of the article if you want, but these two quotes stuck out to me.

The rest appears to be an apologists take on the Ensminger hire, which I don't particularly agree with.

Fun fact: a $5mil buyout divided among 200K fans is only $25/person.

. Basically, once the work became serious, Canada became a problem for virtually everybody in the LSU Ops Building to work with. Dave Aranda, in particular, very much wanted him gone. It wasn’t about philosophy or jet sweeps or motions so much as it was just a basic working relationship and trust.


Oh shite, hadn't heard that.

I just checked the board and the only other ATVS article I see is the one Green Chili posted, which is a different article.

That was the single sentence that stuck out from the article. Almost completely out of left field, and never explained it.

Billy (the author) is friends with Ponamsky. Chances are that almost none of it is true.

Now that's interesting. He's being quite a tool on Twitter about this. Basically calling out anyone who is questioning this hire.

Yes, this hire will define Orgeron’s tenure (and Alleva’s by proxy), at least for the first few years.


LMAO

If they’re both here a few years from now then Stevie E will have become the greatest OC in college football. Serviceable will not save their jobs.
