Now that this was moved off the rant, watch the upvotes. The dichotomy of the two boards is quite interesting.

Yet how can't we judge him since it was Ole Miss, after all.



Unbelievable. This is the hottest job in CFB right now, and our own fans are jockeying to promote the goddamn DL coach.

This board will hammer me with downvotes but I wouldn't hate a Petrino hire. Keep a lot of the recruiting staff in place to account for his lack of ability to do that. The man is obviously a top notch coach.

Do you really think Saban could have done that with Miles team? I think it is unlikely that happens.

Dude if coach O wins the next 5 or 6 games there is no better coach in college football. Do you really think Saban could have done that with Miles team? I think it is unlikely that happens.



Somehow I missed this post. Thank you poster above for bringing my attention to it.

Good god I really hope our administration knows how dumb our fanbase is. If they do, they'll know not to take fan sentiment into account.

I'm so sick of people talking about flash in the pan coaches that haven't proven shite like Tom freaking Herman. Most talented team in the American conference by far and won't even appear in their conference championship game. Sound familiar?
everywhere he went as offensive coordinator, they set team records.he developed his 2nd & 3rd string qb that helped led ohio st to the NC. 3 years before he arrived at houston, they were 21-17, herman is 19-3 since taking over. but you rather a coach that was 10-25 in his career.

also worth noting Saban brought him in as a consultant to show how he ripped apart the Bama D while OC at OSU.

I love O, but he will need to hire coordinators like Herman to maintain success. He's a DL coach and a motivator. Period.

I really have to wonder at this point if we are even talking to Jimbo
I'd be surprised if communication between LSU and Jimbo's people hasn't at least taken place.

the man went frickin 10-25 at Ole Miss. TEN AND TWENTY FIVE.
It worries me. It really does. I'm being realistic. That's why I'm not on the O' wagon yet. I do however see myself jumping on that wagon IF (BIG IF) he wins out. That would make him 13-2 minus the postseason with USC and LSU. That's hard to ignore.

With that said, I'd probably still pick Fisher. It'd be a HARD choice, but I just believe Fisher checks off every single thing we're looking for as a candidate, plus his resume provides a HUGE sample size.

If LSU does win out, I don't think I'd blame LSU admin for picking Orgeron though.

All top candidates and a handful of others could equal or better the results Orgeron has been getting this year. It's not hard to see what is going on. Aranda has the D clicking and the HC is no longer in the way of the offense.

The question is who can sustain the program long term, to compete at the highest level it possibly can? Sorry, but Orgeron has not proven that, and it's a risk elite programs should not take. Other coaches have.

Yep, put O out of the program and ole sneaky Saban will scoop his arse up and bust our arse in recruiting Louisiana to Bama....
I will bet anyone !!!

So a guy with an actual winning record is not preferred over a guy with a 10-25 record as head coach?

the only person that checks all the boxes is fisher but no one really knows if he wants to leave FSU or not. just curious as to what happened or what did he say that makes people believe that he wants to or will leave to come here? yes Tom Herman has done great things as an OC but its still up in the air with him as a HC. he hasn't shown that he can sustain a program long term, he had a good recruiting class last year but so did Strong at Texas. I don't know maybe the reason why I'm on board with giving coach o a chance because everything i bitched about with Miles with in the last few years coach o has changed and improved with in a month.
