re: Orgeron gets ZERO blame for current OL and QB situation

There is absolutely no reason for optimism like there was in 2000. Like I said previously, anyone who knew football knew Saban was a known commodity, a brilliant defensive mind and a guy who turned a Michigan State program in the dumps on the heels of probation into a competitive program.

Nobody had a fricking clue who Nick Saban was down here. He was some coach we beat in the Independence Bowl and was 34-22 at MSU with 9 wins in his best season. His only claim to fame was beating Michigan a few times while there. NOW Mark Emmert knew what Saban was but the majority of the fans here had no clue and there was no big optimism to speak of except for your usual after a new hire. As a matter of fact most people found optimism from the last game in 1999 when we blewout Arkansas with Rohan Davey and the interim coach.
