re: Does anyone on this board believe Oregon can turn it around? Anyone?

Alot of things would have to change for Orgeron to turn it around, and it's not just turning around this season or this team. It's turning around the entire program as a whole.

The program is stuck in a rut right now, with problems that stemming back a few years ago. Issues relating to not recruiting to your specific needs instead of recruiting for star power. The lines were and have been severely neglected for far too long, and we're still seeing the effects of it today.

What this program needed to move forward from its neutral position was a complete overhaul. New coach, new ideas, new foundation, new ways of thinking. Instead, Alleva saw fit to just keep it on the same plane and same level by hiring Orgeron.

He saw Orgeron as a complete fix to a broken problem, and could not see the structural and foundational issues at hand. We needed a complete remodel, but all he did was put up shiny wallpaper and a fresh coat of paint. Meanwhile your structural issues have worsened and the house is about to collapse.

In short, no...Orgeron can't turn it around. In order for him to do that, he'd have to completely change how he runs his program...and he's not capable of doing that. He's reverted back to his Ole Miss days, and in turn, he's nearly turning LSU into an Ole Miss type of program.
