Except that Kiffin was never coming here. And O was formulating his recruiting plan based on him being here. And the shite hit the fan 3 days ago. And Ed O is now trying to fix it

Lets see if I know whats coming? Lets see if he waits to announce an OC hire after the bowl, like he alluded to? And hire someone that wasn't available until now?

I think we’re going to take our time," Orgeron said. "We’re going to see how everything pans out. There’s some things that we want to get done, people that we’re recruiting. Obviously, if the right guy is available, we’ll hire him. But I don’t anticipate that happening before the game.

Or if he announces it soon, like he was told to. With a guy that's been available all along?

Do you not see the irony in claiming, on the one hand, that you "chose not to melt down" and then, on the other hand, posting juvenile, profanity laced tirades deploying triple exclamation points in the style of a thirteen year old girl's text message?

Yeah but "Dat binder though" is real highbrow, sophisticated stuff.

Look man, we actually agree on the hiring process. I think it was a pretty screwed up process myself. All I'm saying is that nothing we say on here is going to change it and I firmly believe that Orgeron deserves to chance to prove himself. Many people on here have melted down about it.

I also have a really hard time believing that Orgeron "promised" Alleva he would bring in Kiffin and there is absolutely no proof that he did. Not gonna fault him if he said he had a great chance at Kiffin. That isn't a promise. But somehow on here there are people posting about how O made that promise. Very counterproductive, and the man deserves better until he demonstrates otherwise.

This would be good. If the hire comes this week, like the rumors are implying, then maybe we still get BOTH QBs. We really need 2 in this class, and they've both been committed long enough that other options would be limited at this point. The kid who is enrolling early at State (Thompson, I think) is the only other one we've really had much contact with in this class, and he has been gone for a while. Miles and Cam decided to go with Narcisse over him over a year ago.

If you look at Canada's offenses at Pitt and NCSU, it can be altered to fit either guy. With O's comments (at least the more recent one) about wanting to use dual-threat QBs going forward, I have a feeling that we will see more of the NCSU spread than the Pitt pro-style after year 1. Hopefully that is enough to keep Narcisse away from the Barn.

Narcisse loves auburn man, he's going to auburn. He's out.

I second or third this. Or whatever number I am.

I'm not totally convinced that he's gone yet. Stidham has 2 or 3 years of eligibility left, where Etling is done after next year, here. If he likes what Canada has to say, I think LSU still has a strong case to make for getting him on the field sooner. It would be him, Brennan and Scott battling for the job, and he certainly has a lot of physical advantages running a spread offense, assuming the knees are solid after a reshirt year and a lot of strength and conditioning.

Wasn't Texas rumored to be hard after him? That would just be as secondary coach though, right?

When lane interviewed st Houston O started preparations. Nothing wrong with this.. he had plenty of time.. I've been critical of O but nothing wrong with his process. If he really wanted lane no reason not to wait until he knows for sure if he's not getting him. Most OC moves are after bowls anyway

he was hired because of the future he said he could deliver, which he didnt.

Nothing has happened yet. He actually vetted and interviewed people beyond kiffin. Signing day is 6 weeks from now. We've had no significant decommits. Orgeron is hot on Akers and Wilson.

I was frustrated with Alleva because he didn't do a thorough job of searching potential candidates, but the only thing special Ed has done is love LSU and want to be the coach. Wait until the bottom falls out to start boo hooing about his failures.
