re: I think Orgeron learned a lot this year

People were bad mouthing before the season even started....

No matter how Coach O does here, on paper at the time, it was a horrific hire.

There was without question dozens of much more qualified coaches with better resumes who even had a winning record as a head coach.

This isn't to say O can't be successful, and I hope he is, but this was an extremely dangerous hire. Most hires are done when a program is a complete disarray and dumpster fire, LSU did theirs with a top 25 team in tact and filled with talent. I don't think people realize how easy and quickly a program can stumble into irrelevance. Plenty of examples of that this past season. While I am happy we can possibly hit 10 wins this year, I still can't completely safely say I am confident about where this program is at

This years schedule wasn't the best barometer to compare. It was probably one of the easiest schedules we have had in over a decade in a down SEC and we still went 9-3. Next year will say a lot about where we will head as a program

You have to tip your hat to O and the staff as the season could have went really bad after a bad start, hopefully we can build on this and improve next year
