You say something good about the offense and you say well O does not know anything about offense. You say something good about the defense thats not O thats Aranda. Tell me this what the frick did Miles know when he was coach? Your coach does not have to be an expert in all phases of the game to be a great coach. The man has single handedly saved our season. Give the man some credit. If we get a great OC, OL coach and maybe a qb coach I think we might be set.

He gets credit for motivating the team, having them ready to play, cutting down on practice time, knowing the areas to focus on, and being an all around good coach. I haven't heard anyone say otherwise and neither have you.

I'll give him credit for something he specializes in. Recruiting. As far as what he gets as his interim position? Not much.

Out of all the hyperbole is this rant, this line has to take the cake.

From what I have been reading all morning all he gets credit for when we win is giving good pep talks and doing secret handshakes. Because interim head coaches don't do anything.

But for some reason the Alabama game is all his fault and proves why he will never be more than a dl coach.

It's fascinating, really.

He fired Cameron, can motivate, recruit, and he altered the practice schedule.

At some point a good head coach will have to make adjustments. At the end of the day, you can't just be a CEO to be a great coach. You have to actually be able to coach. It's damning that they couldn't get anything going on offense and at the end of the day it can be linked to Orgeron not having any coaching ability on that side of the ball.

The one thing I give O credit for is his motivation of the team. He's successfully kept the team from collapsing after the firing of Miles. I think that's the reason he was named interim, he has the rah rah personality to accomplish that.

We can thank him for doing his job, so that we have the best possible leverage to get the right guy in.

Getting this team to play much better than it had under Miles. He has done that and then some. Still, LSU needs a different HC.

The best thing Orgeron has done is get Miles out of the playbook.

His practice schedule has gotten a lot of compliments from players and pundits alike.

He has managed the company business and let the players and coaches focus on prep.

He has pumped some energy into this team each week and has had them mentally ready to play. I even include the Bama game because they were ready but a few seemed to have been overwhelmed with it all.

Seems to have held this recruiting class together for now.

Seems to have instilled some discipline in the team as evidenced by the number of minor suspensions.


Oh Hell I almost forgot this one! He has brought back dissemination of meaningful info in the weekly pressers and radio shows!

Coach O has changed everything that Miles was criticized for. Hes breathed new life into a stale program and thats why the team is playing so well. He's done a great job at what he's been asked to do, and i dont think anybody is arguing that.
But I still think the emotion is going to fade and then we will need to be better strategically than other teams. I dont think O brings that aspect to the table like a Herman or Jimbo or top tier coach would.

Not one thing. He's just a damned ole coon arse cheerleader. Get with it - we're doomed if we pick him. Could've done the same thing with Miles' wife. That's why he was sad after stomping Arkansas. He gone.

Geaux Oeaux!

mixed in with a heavy dose of Derrius Guice and Darrel Williams to produce a whopping 634 yards. That’s the most total offense the Fighting Tigers have ever put up against an SEC opponent, and the 418 rushing yards were their most in an SEC game since Oct. 30, 1976, when they racked up 426 against Ole Miss.

LSU had two 100-yard rushers (Derrius Guice and Darrel Williams) and a 200-yard passer (Danny Etling) in the same game for the second time since 2013, and a total of nine players had receptions on the night, including two fullbacks and two tight ends.

LSU did all this without completely revamping its offense and abandoning its identity as a smash-mouth, run-oriented football team, but by just making some tweaks to formations and introducing a few new plays.


Josh Growden averaging 47.7 yards (a career-high) on his three punts. (The fact that Growden only punted three times in this contest further illustrates how dominant LSU’s offense was.)


Guice ran for a career-best 163 yards and three TDs on 17 carries for an average of 9.6 yards per carry.

Derrius Guice Is The Fastest LSU RB To Reach 1,000 Yards

----------------------------

Guice leads the nation in average yards per carry at 9.10.
This exceptional average has enabled him to reach the 1,000-yard mark in fewer carries than any player in LSU history.

wide receiver D.J. Chark became the first (and only) player in school history to score touchdowns of 75 yards or more both rushing and receiving.

LSU’s defense has given up just six touchdowns in the first six games of the season.

the Tigers have given up only 17 points in the last eight quarters of action,
and 84 total on the season which is tied for fourth nationally at 14.0 points per game.

defender extraordinaire Arden Key.
The sophomore defensive end leads the nation in pass rush productivity, generating 38 QB pressures on 156 pass rush snaps.

ESPN’s latest Power Index, the Tigers come in at No. 8.
The Football Power Index (FPI) is a measure of team strength and is meant to be the best predictor of a team's performance going forward for the rest of the season.
Projected results are based on 10,000 simulations of the rest of the season using FPI, results to date, and the remaining schedule.

Coach O is the first coach in LSU football history (SEC era) to win his first two games as head coach of the Tigers by 30 or more points.

After averaging just 21 points in its first four games,
LSU more than doubled that by averaging 43.5 points per contest in home victories over Missouri (42-7) and Southern Mississippi (45-10).

LSU is the only team in the country that has held every one of its opponents to under 21 points.

LSU averaged 10.9 yards per play against Southern Miss, which is highest since at least 1960.

Against Southern Miss, LSU had more points (45) than plays (42) for only the third time since LSU began keeping records of such things in 1949.

Josh Growden booting the longest punt (68 yards) since 2012 when Brad Wing had a 69-yarder against Arkansas.

Shoutout to LSU’s Todd Politz and The Advocate for the statistics.

rushing for 284 yards and three TDs (the shortest of which came on a 59-yard run) on only 16 carries. Not only did Fournette shatter Ally Broussard’s 12-year record for the most rushing yards in a single game, his 17.8 yards per carry set a new record for the highest single-game average of any LSU player with 15 or more carries.

LSU has outscored opponents 73-7 in the second half of the last three games.

But LSU’s total offense in its last three games (536 yards per game) is a remarkable 58% increase from the 339.5 yards per game they averaged in their first four contests of the season.

LSU’s third down conversion rate through its first four games this season (20-50, 40%). In its three games under Coach O, the Tigers have increased their third down conversion rate to 48.4% (15-31).

Leonard Fournette runs roughshod over Ole Miss, into the LSU record book


a record-setting 284-yard performance for the nationally televised audience. The Rebels had no answer for Fournette as he scored on runs of 59, 76 and 78 yards en route to breaking Alley Broussard's school record of 250 rushing yards in 2004.

How incredible was Fournette? After a 1-yard loss on his first carry, Fournette gained 250 yards on his next six carries. His gains, in order: 59; 5; 24; 8; 76; 78. He averaged a video-game-like 35.6 yards a carry on his first seven runs.

He added to his extensive career highlight reel with a trademark trucking of Deontay Anderson in the second quarter.


The Tigers shut out Ole Miss in the second half, holding the Rebels to 37 yards and one first down through the third quarter and half of the fourth.
