EVERYONE here is rooting for O to be successful, but

this is The Rant. When O screws the pooch like he did with Troy, folks will rant/melt/bitch. That does not mean they don't want him to overcome and achieve greatness. When the Troy loss occurred, realistically I felt we'd finish either 5 & 7 or 4 & 8. But we went on to finish 9 & 3 with a 6 & 2 conference mark. I've been very happy about that. I'm very much looking forward to finishing 10 & 3. But I did see a bad moon arising back in late November when Mike Detillier said Canada would not be back due to personal and philosophical differences with Coach O. This is very bad as we all know. O pledged not to meddle with his coordinators. Granted, if Canada does go and O brings in a stud O.C., the bad moon will be gone for me. But as for now, the ranting/melting/bitching must continue.

If O is going to be the head coach then he should have the right fit for him at OC and that is obviously not Canada.

I'm rooting for LSU to be successful, just like I always have. The fact that it coincides with whoever the head coach is doesn't make a bit of difference to me.

Lies. 80% of the people on this site want him to fail so they can be right.

it is NOT a given that it is very bad. you do not know the facts. use your common sense man (if you have any); the admin. isn't going to let a subordinate (coach O) fire an employee with a large buy out on a whim. there HAS to be a reason.

he NEVER said that. never. he explained his failure at ole miss as "trying to do all of the coaches jobs". it was the Rant that twisted that and added the fricking word "MEDDLE". a HC is the boss of the football team and his opinion matters. if the employee chooses to countermand and "order", he does so at his own risk.
lastly, you KNOW NOTHING about O meddling with the offense. NOTHING. it is dribble that you've read on here and accept as the gospel. bull shite. I wonder why O didn't "meddle" with the defense? huh? it sucked early on also.
if you are truly rooting for O to be successful, THEN ROOT FOR HIM DAMNIT. i'm calling you a lier, sir. you are a lier! you are not rooting for him; you are making shite up and trying to turn others against him.

I want O to be incredibly successful! Even so, I think odds are much more likely that he fails bigtime in the end.
As a Tiger fan, please let me be wrong!!!!!

Has there been evidence that O hurt the offense? It sure seems like we getting penalized a lot at the time he stepped in and “meddled” so why does everyone assume it was detrimental to our offense and team? From what I hear the rift mainly stems from who they wanted to play QB
Some coaches do meddle too much but it doesn’t mean it always hurts the team. I didn’t see any changes in plays from game 1 to game 12...maybe some of y’all can help me out and show the differences in the offense from BYU to A&M bc I would really like to see the differences. I am of the understanding we simplified some of our offense to clean up the penalties.

There isn’t a person on here in their heart of hearts believes that Orgeron will win an SEC west title much less a Natty. That’s the issue.

No they aren't!
Most here are happy being miserable. If a 10-win, top 15 season makes them like this, miserable, then that's on them. But THAT is what they root for, to be miserable and hate life. They're good at it.

There's a percentage of the fans that want O to fail just so their ranting and bashing is justified.... Nothing like a good ole I told you so!

Troy?
What about when Aranda gave up 37 to Miss State?

No sports fan writes a team's record like that. Flip it back over to the Lifetime channel and catch a chick flick.

O didn't screw the pooch against Troy. Troy was an 11 & 2 football team this season that could have beaten several SEC teams.
When we played Troy, we had a bunch of key players out on both offense and defense that couldn't play in that game. Plus Frank Herron still hadn't been cleared to play yet. Not to mention, that Arden Key was not nearly the same player he was the year before.
Hence, how did coach O screw the pooch as you say? Was it coach O's fault that other than the starters we didn't have any depth? Indeed, this was his first season at the helm of LSU and he had to deal with the team he was dealt by his predecessor.
Of course, once those key players out for the Troy game gradually returned back to playing, LSU won 6 of the next 7 games of the season, and that is the story of this season.

I remember when O got released from USC, there were several threads about getting him for recruiting. Rant was not in favor, I really didn't understand the hate for him then. I was indifferent because I didn't really know anything about him except when he was at OM.
And then, Miles hired him, and there was a lot of support from tRant for the hire. I was confused then, because of all the previous discussions about O.
And now that he is HC, all the unfavorable posts about O are coming back.
I totally understand why people are upset, but I try to see the bright side of the O situation, but the more I see, the more nervous I become. He has done some good things, some bad things, and some dumb things.
I don't know the whole story, so my judgement is skewed. With the rumors on here, hard to get a feel for the truth, because everyone is putting their spin to the situation. One thing I do know is that his hiring as the HC was more politically motivated than for his coaching skills or record.
Guess we need to get the Cajun Cannon to give us the inside POOP on O.

The troy loss, as unacceptable as it was, was one fricking game. We learned from it and moved forward in a positive direction. Now, if it becomes a trend of O losing games like that, ones we should win without question, then I believe we have a serious problem. I know it has been said plenty on here, but saban lost to frickin uab at lsu and lost to ulm at bama. Every coach has a slip up game like that, and usually it is in the early stages of their career at the program they're coaching. Every program has a troy loss every now and then, there's no escaping it. Especially when it's a program like LSU playing one like troy, who happened to be a decent team this season. You mix overlooking an opponent like troy, and them playing as if it's their superbowl, and yiu get results like that every once in a while. That's just sports.

Why any high level coach would ever want to come to LSU and put up with fans that constantly put down a program that won nine games in the SEC West is beyond me? Our fans ensure this. If I were an AD competing against LSU for a coach Inwoukd direct the coach to the Rant to show him the BS he will have to put up with if he comes here. Shocker that Herman and Jimbo did not come here, right?!?!

So basically, without knowing anything about what is going on, your stance is that o should hire Canada, and let him do as he pleases in every aspect? Sounds logical. I now understand why the bitching must continue. How dare o fire him.

Who in the frick are you telling people to keep ranting. You know jack shite and your opinion amounts to nothing. Pull for the program and the coach who started slow and finished strong.
