He recruited great until he gave up after winning the NC.

Orgeron was a moron. He was a good salesmen, which made him a good recruiter IF someone aimed him at the right recruit. He simply could not organize the 40 or 50 processes required to run a college football program. Anyone who thought he could was delusional.

The original plan with Orgeron was that we were hiring a moron who was incapable of being a real head coach. But we are going to underpay him and use the excess money to surround him with the best staff. It briefly worked because Les Miles had the administration, inherited from Saban, running like a top. After 2019, when he lost Aranda and Ensminger, it was curtains for that buffoon.

We should have stuck with the plan, and told Orgeron, “You’ll get a 20% raise but no more.” We will use the rest that you think you deserve to hire the two best coordinators in all of football. Had they done that, and hired an excellent administrator who could point Ed at the right recruits, tasks, etc., and if they could have focused Ed on football instead of broads, maybe they could have kept it going.
