A question for all-do you think LSU can do better than Orgeron?

Simple question. For those against and for O being hired as HC.
Do you think LSU could do better?

Easily

Absolutely. And hell, maybe O turns out to be a home run hire.
But the fact is that we should be able to find someone with a better track record. LSU does not have to make a risky hire, which is precisely what O is.

Here in lies the problem:
If LSU publicly pursues Herman, Fisher, or Kelly and all of them turns them down, then the brand takes a hit similarly to what Texas took when they thought they could get anyone in American (including Saban). The media will have a field day with that. We've seen this happen to a lot of big school over the past couple of years. USC, FLA, ND all thought they could real in bigger names than they got.
If LSU don't make the offers public, then they save face somewhat but will take a internal hit from the members of the fan base who assumes LSU can get who they want and but they didn't pursue the big names and emotionally settled for O.
I think at this point the powers to be know who they can really get and is waiting for the season to play out some more before making a move. If O is named before the season ends, then I think LSU Admin was already informed they couldn't get their top targets.

I don't get the sense that anyone is against O just because. I think LSU can do better and I think we could do a lot worse. I think the strong "anti O" sentiment is primarily in response to this knee jerk view of many that says let's hire him bc he has the team looking good now. He will get the opportunity to be a legitimate candidate, but I don't think you make that decision right now. To be PC, of course Alleva and the others have to say he is a candidate and support him. They can't say otherwise. I don't understand why so many on here are freaking out and taking that to mean he's the top choice

better coach? yea, probably.
better fit? yes, but that list is much shorter

The real question is outside of Herman, is there a real, better option?
Posted on 10/28/16 at 5:27 pm to cas4t
Yes. Aranda would be better for starters.
Posted on 10/28/16 at 5:46 pm to cas4t
Pretty sure Aranda would be a better choice to promote to HC, rather than Coach O.

Uh...yeah.

One question, did Ole Miss do better?
Why would I want LSU to do less than Ole Miss?
