If O lead this team to an 11-1 season how would that not prove he is a good coach?


We can wish in one hand and shite in another, but let’s be honest, Orgeron isn’t winning out. He’s had plenty of opportunities to prove he’s a good coach, and he hasn’t done it yet. He was a complete failure at Ole Miss, he had the opportunity to win the job against Florida and failed, and he just lost by 30 to Mississippi state. He would have to show an ability to win at a high level for multiple years to change my opinion on him, and that ain’t happening.

I obviously agree that the chances of us going 11-1 are about the same as me and you both winning the Powerball. And I'm with you man, CEO has a lot to prove to us as fans.

But O's failure at Ole miss 10 years ago doesn't have dick to do with this team or this program. As long as we don't have a 4-8 like season, O will get 3 years to prove himself just like every coach ever hired gets. After the 3 years, the cards will lie where they have fallen and either O has us going in the right direction or he'll be stuck in neutral and we'll be on to the next guy. Either way, O should be given the opportunity to show us what he can do.

I also advise against hot takes based on this season. Judging a coach on year one is often fools gold. Like many have stated some great coaches faltered in their first year (Saban, Dabo, etc.). But others have looked like true contenders in year one only to be put back in their place in the following years (Malzahn, Chizik, muschamp in year 2at UF).
