People seem to forget that O has yet to prove since his failure at Ole Miss that he can run a program. He does okay at running someone else's but now that he has to take ownership it is conplerely different and we are seeing some issues with that in recruiting already.

The O hire is exactly a copy of the Johnny Jones hire. It was hiring a guy with a mediocre to bad history that has some connection to he state or school. We saw how it turned out for Jones. I don't expect much different from Orgeron.

The flaw in the hiring great coordinators plan to cover what O clearly lacks is a self-inducing failure of a plan. If his coordinators as successful, they will bolt very quickly. That requires you to have to keep hitting on hires with no continuity. That's also going to start weighing on the position coaches you likely aren't promoting that will start to bail.

It will start happening, but between Miles and Alleva, LSU sports in general has lost a lot of fans devout passion. People just aren't as invested anymore like they used to be.

In the end, this hire of O should get Alleva fired, but sadly likely won't since he's convinced the LSU fanbase their run is over.

Well because we hired O (and how much he makes per year), a narrative that was going around the fanbase is that there should be money in place to hire the best available coordinators. I, of course understand that even with this perceived advantage, it's still possible to run into a bad coordinator.

Revisit the press conference when O was hired. Alleva literally said that part of the reason for the O hire was continuity, which implied that we are still close to competing for titles, but simply needed a new face leading the way.
