Did Anyone Really Expect CEO To Run The Table Last Year......8-0?????

Really???? Given the situation he stepped into. Granted the team had talent BUT: A new O coordinator mid season, shaky QB play at best, a strong Bama team we hadn't beaten in 6 years, interim label for O, and a myriad of others issues any team firing their coach mid season would have had.
I mean, we're talking about 2 losses here....2!! I didnt expect to beat Bama and yet we still competed hard for most of the game. The Florida game we pile up yards and dominate the lines but a few stupid azz plays cost us the victory. We still slam Arky and put TAM in their place.
If we beat Florida, are we even having this debate on O's prowess as HC?

It was a bad hire. End of story

Nobody expected him to run the table, but I expected him to need to run the table to get serious consideration for the job.

It was a bad hire. Go find Madking and Tiger Ree and have yourself an O circle jerk.

The team was loaded with talent for a title run last year. Miles/Cameron were so damn incompetent they made Orgeron look respectable. However the loss to Florida was unacceptable. Zero points against Bama again was a joke. Orgeron may work out but he was definitley a bad hire at the time.

But we didn't. And even if we did, he is still the worst coach in Ole Miss history, and not even a Sun Belt school was offering him a HC position.

No, it would have taken an incredible job on his part to go 8-0.
And it should have taken an incredible job for him to be given consideration for the permanent position.
Not a single person on this board or in this fan base would have given him any chance whatsoever of being the head coach at this time last year. Nothing happened during the season to change that but it was covered up nicely by a great PR campaign, a pathetic athletic director, and an amazingly gullible fan base.

No, but I expected him to beat a depleated less talented Florida team at home.

That Mizzou game was fools gold for a lot of fans. Dismantling an SEC team in the first game post Miles gave everyone what they wanted.
That being said, Alabama was a toss up and the Florida game was lost by poor execution on multiple key plays in scoring position. Maybe that's on the coaches though.
Running the table wasn't really that off base when you look at the results objectively.

No, but I expected 7-1. The Florida game was super close though. I absolutely despised the hire, trust me, but I'm gonna wait and see if Orgeron can actually pull this off. I just hope Alleva has the balls to fire Orgeron the second it looks like it isn't gonna work. No fricking around.

I expected him to beat the dog shite out of a UF team at home that was missing almost its entire defensive line...if he was to even be considered.
Posted on 7/24/17 at 11:50 pm to RedTigerRulz
He wasn't expected to beat bama, that's fine. Then his DC calls the game of his life, holds them scoreless through 3, at home. And we trot out an uber conservative les miles game plan that hasn't worked in 5 years. That was my problem with that game. We didn't even TRY to win. He tried to keep it close for show points.
The UF game was an O screw up.

Didn't expect 8-0, but I'm glad with the decision to end CLM's outdated football "philosophy" at LSU. At least LSU football is relevant and exciting again... Geaux Tigers!!!

Did anyone really expect LSU to replace Les Miles with a guy who had been a head coach for 3 years (9 years ago), went 10-25 (3-21 in conference), and had never been a coordinator?
Posted on 7/25/17 at 6:16 am to RedTigerRulz
No but I though he'd go 7-1, 6-2 at worst. Interim gigs quite often end nice because it was obviously time for the coach before to go for whatever reason and the team is rejuvenated and excited. Of course we know talent is not the problem.
I expect some of that to carry over this year, in fact I think this will be one of O's best if not the best year he has (hope I'm wrong on that). I fear time will expose his limitations....again, not desire to be right here...just my opinion.

No but that loss to Florida should've been all allevas punk arse should've needed to know O wasn't the guy. Embarrassing beginning to end...
Posted on 7/25/17 at 6:54 am to RedTigerRulz
No. But going 7-1 was realistic in my opinion.
