You guys don't get it. According to the no to O crowd he is a big dumb Cajun incapable of learning or "figuring it out".
you keep running around with this strawman
no matter how many times you say it, it doesn't mean this is what anyone believe

I mean he has more than likely learned a lot since ole miss and has become a better coach.
cool
let him prove it
that is all we are asking

It is not by happenstance that he had success at USC and now at LSU.
nobody is doubting his motivation skills, which is what makes great interim coaches

And he had all 4 of those rings prior to his time at Ole Miss

I mean most people are willing to hire Herman and Jimbo. They are not exactly setting the world on fire with their current teams. Win or lose to Bama I would give O a shot. He has already beat Ole Miss. If he can beat Arkansas and aTM, I say hire him.

Oh please. It may not be said, but that's what's implied. You can be coy all you want.

Let me give you a hypothetical
Would you willing to hire the Florida D-Line coach if he had the exact same track record as Coach O?
Would you dismiss his 3-21 record in conference play when he was HC at Ole Miss?
Depends,
Does he own four national championship rings?
Has he coached under Jimmy Johnson at Miami, Pete Carroll at USC and Sean Payton of the Saints?
Has he coached USC to a 6-2 after taking over for a guy who was fired on the airport tarmac after five games?
Has he taken over LSU and coached them to 3 impressive victories while setting 3 ALL-TIME LSU offensive records?
If yes, then I wouldn't be all that adverse to hiring the Florida D-Line coach.

most people are willing to hire Fisher or Herman based off their entire "portfolio", as Patrick would say

If O goes undefeated or only loses 1 competitive game, I do believe he will be retained, whether I agree with the decision or not.
So we shall see.
I just want the best candidate. O is not that.

19-27? Let's hire him!
Also, 9-2 in his last 11.
If LSU continues to pay top dollar to get the best assistants, O will be fine has a head coach. You can't argue he's not a better coach now than he was at Ole Miss.

what is so wrong with wanting orgeron to be a successful HC prior to LSU hiring him as it's HC?
Well, coming from someone who was pissed off every time he did win a game at Ole Miss, it's not like it has been very recent.

You can't argue that he is better either, as we have not seen him as an actual HC since then
interim coach =/= HC

rational or intelligent about elevating his interim experience above his actual HC experience
Someone could argue about the time frame each occurrence happened. I think a person's most recent achievements/failures matter more than when they were just starting out 40 years ago.

While interim head coach, he has all head coaching duties. He's 9-2. Yes, that is better than his record at ole miss.

well except for recruiting his own players, hiring his own assistants, or all the pressure that comes with being a HC...sure

Correct. O has proven to be a fantastic interim coach. I would like him to prove that he can be a fantastic head coach before hiring him at LSU.
Posted on 10/28/16 at 8:28 am to Grits N Gravy
Wow...you really believe that a month of running the LSU program is the equivalency of being the HC year in and year out?
Didn't have a damn thing to do with anything that a HC would be responsible for up until now and you think THIS is the obvious proof.
If anything he's done a fantastic job of staying out the way of the football and he's been great at being a politician.
Sounds like the good ole boy days are back.

People who have failed miserably:

You sure wouldn't have wanted to hire any of those losers!
Failure is not the issue, how you respond to failure is what is important. Any of the above will tell you that learning from failures is what makes you successful

Yea, I would like to see that too but we don't have that luxury. LSU fans think all the best coaches in the world are going to come begging for the job. That's not the case. Jimbo isn't guaranteed to come here. Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, Harbuagh....they aren't coming. There's not many fantastic head coaches out there that will realistically get hired and come to LSU.
