Why can't you just support the coach and hope that he succeeds? If it does not pan out, then you can gloat while we are looking for the next coach to lead LSU.

Because many people are trying to redefine what success as LSU's head coach means. We fired our last coach for 9-3 type seasons. Now, some people are considering the season a success. The goal posts are constantly moving, and this is why it seems as though some people are constantly "bashing" coach O. Nobody wants him to fail, but there is a group of fans that want to be sure that if he fails LSU takes quick action and does not allow a segment of the fan base to constantly lower expectations so that O meets them just because they like the guy.

We were told that Orgeron was hired because it was believed that he could keep the recruiting classes together and immediately have LSU in playoff contention. It only took 3 weeks into the season and a 30 point loss to Mississippi State for the narrative to change. After that loss the excuses started flying. We were told that we are "too young" and were hampered by Miles' lack of recruiting on the OL. Then we were told that a new OC will take some lumps while implementing their offense.

Now, it looks like we may have a new OC again next year, which is sure to be followed by more excuses. The bar will simply be lowered by some again next year to excuse the head coach because they like the guy.

No they aren't idiot. They see that a first year coach with a first year OC implementing a new system with the team playing well over 30 freshmen having the opportunity to finish in the top 10 is not as horrible as idiots like you try to convince them it is.

He was fired because he was outcoached on multiple occasions, couldn't figure out what a game clock's purpose was and promised his boss he would change and didn't. But, keep making shite up and posting it as fact.

Sure, in your feeble mind.

The first part is true. The second part is again, nothing less that laughable bullshite made up by you.

All true. My concern besides these, was the putrid performance of the defense in those losses. The offense was some-what understandable. The defense sucked.
