re: Question: Can Orgeron continue this level of play if hired?

As a previous poster said, maybe O has learned from his mistake at OM. But LSU is not the place to try and showcase what you've learned. The stage is too big and the stakes are too high. It's too big of a moment to hire a coach just because it's obvious he loves the program.

I'll agree that if he wins out, it'll be really hard to turn him away. Granted, if he does win out, the dominoes look to be falling in LSUs favor and they could end up a playoff team. I'll eat crow if that happens. But until then, it has to be someone else. You can't make an emotional hire in this instance. CEO is a master of channeling emotion and getting players to perform using that emotion. What happens when the emotion from this season is gone?
