Has a coach ever completely destroyed a program in such a short amount of time as Ed O?

Gene Chizik was equally bad, but he's up there.

Not saying he didn’t mess up, but the new transfer portal rules post covid really exhausted our team.

My tire is flat. Ed’s fault. My girlfriend broke up with me. Ed’s fault.

Grow up. Let it go.

Covid killed the LSU team.

It allowed future NFL players to "Opt Out"...see Jamar Chase, Tyler Shelvin.

Losing both offensive and defensive coordinators didn't help. So, no, Orgeron did not destroy LSU. His response to rebuilding from the loss of key people ended his coaching stay at LSU. That, and Scott Woodward wishing to hire Jimbo Fisher...which never happened.

Never miss an opportunity to shite om Orgeron do you. Some of you people are plain insufferable.

BK is picking up where you say O left off. How long you going to give the Yankee?

i think it was more a destruction of the mindset here then the talent levels, yes talent suffered, but not as much as the mindset of being selfish and not team players

talent is one thing, but even the guys who are still here are too selfish and butt hurt, to be a part of the team, and give 100% effort for BK

players can be replaced much easier then you can change the selfish "im a star player" attitudes he left us with.

thats why this year will be bad, a lot worse then it should be, but very soon things will get fixed. but that may require sending guys like boutte to the bench to stay or just cutting bait and removing them from the team

Right because O is the one who can’t put together a competent PAT unit…

So much of the Ed O fallout was speculation on the part of fans and media. No wonder those kids bailed. Hell, everyday was another rumor of the NCAA coming in to burn the program down.

Ed O is not a good head coach. He proceeded to prove every national and regional pundit correct that he caught lightning in a bottle in 2019 and became Ole Miss Ed overnight after that season.

Archer and Hallman are right up there, minus the most incredible season in CFB history.

Ed built it, by luck or skill, but had zero idea of how to maintain it. Looking back, I'd do it all over again for 2019. Sorry, not sorry. Wasn't going to happen with Les.
