An analogy. If I start a round of golf on a par 4 hole and shoot a 9 do I walk off the course and never play again?
No, but if I shoot 9 on each of the next 17 holes, then yes, I give up golf.

It's just one game, folks. If the rest of the season goes like that game then we talk about firing the coach.

I think a lot of his future has to do with the epic homegrown talent in the 2019 recruiting class.

If we manage a top 2 finish there he'll buy some time. If we finish 8-4 (especially with the penalties) for the next two years and finish outside the top 10 (class ranking) in 2019.. He'll be gone.

It's way too early to start thinking about firing Orgeron. In my opinion, he should be given at least one year, although I do understand some of the posters way of thinking that are already calling for his head.

If the team doesn't make a bowl game this year, any bowl game, I feel he should be canned. The team looked more energized last year after he took over but there's examples of that happening to a lot of teams over the years. And I know a lot of fans went on and on about how well the team played and put their opponents away after Miles was fired, but in my opinion, the games that O won, Miles would have won as well.

And as far as this year is concerned, I thought the team looked really good against BYU. There was some sloppy play, but it was the first game, and it was with a different offensive philosophy. However, this years BYU team appears to be one of their worst teams in a long time. I didn't get a change to watch to watch the Chattanooga game, so I'm not sure how well they looked during the game, but I wasn't impressed by the final score. By that I mean that a Les Miles team, that most on here have complained about, could have easily put up the same numbers.

Last Saturdays beat down is disturbing and it's frightening as how prepared this team has looked so far this season compared to the opponents we have faced. Penalities, sloppy play and suspensions are all reflections of the coaching staff. And if that continues to be an issue throughout the season, I feel he should be replaced before we spiral out of control.

They're not firing him. But we can damn sure talk about how she should have never been hired in the first place.

With his buyout and financial obligations- the seat will start to get hot at the end of year 2 but unfortunately not before then

Very unrealistic. It's one game, a blowout, but still. He still has time to get it together. But if they don't put a nice beatdown on Syracuse, then it's time to panic.

He should be fired now. Three straight 3-9 seasons will cost far more than his buyout.

If we could convince Miles to come back we lose nothing.

Talking about firing coaches is a great way to wind up with no star players and makes the rest of SEC proud with their full cupboards ,you ever wonder why sabin has his all his five star players , no body talks about firing him , having his personal pet referees might help too !

Here's the problem as I see it.....most of the rest of the SEC teams we face - except Bama - are about as lousy [ or lousier ] than we are.....we could lose six more conference games or win six more conference games.....if the latter happens, we finish a deceptive 10-2 and Orgeron stays, for sure.......a bad SEC is the only thing saving him at this point....

No chance he gets 3 years if we have another 30 point loss.

It's whether or not the major TAF contributors & corporate sponsors continue to support the program.

Winning = Funding
Losing = No Funding

You can believe and say and type all you want but if O goes 0-8 or 1-7 in conference play this year. He's gone and I don't care what the buyout is because to not cut bait at that point will set this program way back for at least 5 to 7 years,

It is realistic now. Fire Alleva, hire a new AD, and let him do a real search for a coach. All the while watch O fold under pressure.

No. It's not realistic to want him fired. It's his first full season and it was the first road game in the sec. We had alot of young freshman and sophmore playing alot and we have had injuries on our lines on both sides of the ball that have fricked us a little. Chill out, let's put the pads on, bust our arse and get ready to play this weekend. That was not LSU football last saturday, idk what that was but it is an anomaly. Let's fricking get ready and play tiger football and fix our mistakes bc there were plenty of them and everyone on the team and coaching staff was involved. You pussies can throw in the towel but I know we are wa better than we played on Saturday and expect major improvements. We have talent, alot of young talent, but they will improve. I'm ready to watch the tigers grow into the team they have the talent to be. So shut the frick up with the bitching and lets go.

If the State shite show performance is any indicator of what the next 3 seasons will look like, I don't want any part of it. Call me names whatever you need to do, but the program should not be in this situation. It was easily avoided but i hate to say the good ole boy Louisiana politics reared it's ugly head into the program once again. If O doesn't make a 360 and I mean fast, He will get fired at the latest next season. So now I have to deal with the shite show for 2 more seasons because of piss poor strategic decisions by the idiots that run the program and the LSU BOS rubber stamping this. They sure are testing my loyalty.
