re: Is anyone else now to the point where they want Orgeron at all costs?

Honestly I think most feel this way now. Unless a miracle happens and some big time coordinator just falls in our lap, might as well just do whatever works to get Orgeron here and then see where it all goes from there.

Two sides to this
One, the big time DL group for 16. We need a big time group in the 16 class and O could get that done without question.

Two, the other side. Say the DC, whoever it is, completely fails and we have to start over next winter. It would likely be better for us long term but could hurt in recruiting for 2 reasons. First, the DC would be involved with the recruits and him being fired or reassigned could have an effect on the kids. Secondly, what if a better opportunity comes along for Ed and he bolts? If he goes to a power program he could be a huge detriment to us going into signing day for the 16 class. He would have been recruiting all year and formed quite a bond with these major DL recruits and if he left they could follow. One thing Ed does is build strong relationships with these kids. If we hire him he has to have one hell of a buyout.
