So surprised so many have given up on O...

This is because most see O as a bad hire. The worst loss to MSU in school history only validates that so far. O has to prove his $3.5 mil worth

There is a loud group of a few people who act like LSU went toe-to-toe with the '85 Bears, and lost a close one.

But we all know what happened, and it's pretty damning. Mississippi State made us quit early in the third quarter. It's not unreasonable to be concerned with the direction of our program.

You have a bunch of kids on here that know it all and were just waiting for the opportunity to melt. Acting exactly like a bunch of teenage girls.

Most realistic fans predicted 2 maybe 3 losses given all the issues with this team. Ms St was not one of those. I will admit after Saturday's performance, my confidence in Orgeron dropped dramatically. He may well be in over his head and the 2 great coordinators model could be a colossal mistake. Time will tell.

LSU is very young and this is the staffs first year together so give it time

O and Aranda have been together awhile now, it's not a new defensive scheme.

Etling, Guice and Chark are not young. Etling is a serviceable 5th yr Sr, Guice is a Jr and a preseason All American, and Chark is a Sr. All are returning starters. O-line depth is thin, but there are returning starters from a supposed good line last year, and the O line coach remains the same.

I highly doubt Miss St is great, they are about an average team, and will have their share of SEC losses. I wouldn't be surprised if they finish around 4-4 in the SEC. Maybe less. They went 5-7 last year.

And they mauled us.

O is a bad coach. It only took 3 games (and his first game against a real opponent) for that to be put on full display. He was a mistake.

Eat a dick sandwich

LSU would have never, ever hired a HC with a record of 10-25 (only 2 of those wins came against teams with a winning records both 7-5) and of the 25 losses 15 were double digits.

If O's name was John Smith and he was born in Des Moines, Iowa he would not have sniffed this job.

So for many you must begin with the premise he was a bad hire.

We are talking about a coach who has no track record of success beating good teams. (Only 2 wins against better than .500 teams as a HC)

And his losses 15 of the 25 were double digit blowouts.

Additionally his SEC record was 3-21.

Despite that he is our coach. And in his first conference game as our coach??--an historic loss to Moo State. He is not exactly building trust with fans.

Is it possible 3-21 isn't really 3-21 and 10-25 isn't really 10-25 and .300 winning % coach is really a good coach? Maybe. But honestly would you bet your life on it?

Isn't more likely that O is what he is? A great guy, a stellar DL coach a great recruiter but just doesn't have what it takes to be a successful HC?

It's like everyone was kissing his arse the first couple games to wanting him sent to North Korea 24 hours later. Unreal. How many passes did Leslie get?
