Just lost a bowl game when you should have went for it on the 6inch line. You have a chance to win back the fan base and alumni. You retain Aranda and can make a SPLASH hire for OC and just like that you’ve won the ppl back over. Instead, you push the final 15% or so of ppl that still supported you away. The crazy thing is I actually like Ensminger. He’s LSU thru and thru. He’s loyal and a good recruiter, but he doesn’t need to be the OC at LSU. Coach O will have to be undefeated going into the Bama game before he’ll start winning over the fan base. The chances of that are slim. This is the first time I’ve ever really talked like this. Been a long time sunshine pumper. I supported Miles to the very end. I supported the Ed O hire. Tried to spin it into something beneficial. It’s just very underwhelming and disappointing

I'm just glad that the O supporters are finally seeing the light.

The leftovers would support him if he murdered puppies at the 50 yd line of Tiger Stadium.. lets see it play out.

Agreed on all counts. I still don't believe it's happening, but if it does, what a disaster.

When the BOS nixes Freeze and Briles, the next call is to Mike Yurcich. You can double his salary and still be under the Canada total.

It's just such a lazy hire. I'm honestly glad our schedule is murderers row next year, because either our new OC surprises the shite out of us and it actually works or everything is a shite show and we hit the reset button. I'm done with the O era and can't wait for it to end.

The ONLY thing that can change it now is if the public uproar forces a change of heart. Hopefully all this is leaked to gauge the public opinion. Doubtful.

I'm usually a "wait and see" type of guy, but sometimes you don't have to wait to know something's a bad idea. O's hire was one of those things.

Is it really a golden opportunity if you’re not capable of capitalizing?

Like, I can tell my 9 month old son he can drive my truck if he can reach the pedals. Not really a golden opportunity to drive my truck

For a million bucks Ensminger would probably take the position then retire next year, getting us right back to where we are today. If it fails,It's gonna get ugly for Ogeron.

Fans need to stop donating and renewing season tickets. Keep doing so is sending a mixed message to the administration

a tennessee level fan revolt could stop this. but i don't think most of our fans have an issue with the hire. they just want to tailgate and leave at halftime.

I keep going over and over "what is going on in Coach O's head?" He failed in his first head coach gig and has to know that Ensminger doesn't have what it takes to beat Bama. Is he literally that dumb? (rhetorical question)

Search Ed Orgeron on Twitter. He's getting destroyed and blocking people. This won't end well
