How many times can O say "that's on me" before there are consequences?

I am not an O hater and I do want him to succeed. He has openly accepted the blame several times this year, to his credit. But, at what point do the powers that be say, yes that was your fault and because it was here is what is going to happen.........

Alleva logic: Every time O accepts blame for something, season ticket surcharges go up $100

We gave the LESser man what....10 years and every year he said "the offense will be fixed"

So a decade.

It is all feel good optics for the O sycophants on here. He says he takes the blame and they think he should be awarded a peace medal.

Just like the same people that saw us do irrelevant motion on the first play against BYU and then lose their minds like it actually did something that mattered.

When they realize that anything that Orgeron does or doesn't do is actually on Alleva because he's the genius that decided to hire him. When Alleva is fired, Orgeron won't last long after that. I have no confidence that Orgeron will ever succeed here in any capacity or anywhere else as a head coach for that matter.

Let us know when O makes it to any sort of championship game.







We will be waiting a very long time.

You realize wording it like that makes you look like you think O is better than Les, right?

I said this on the score board, but he knows he suffers no consequences for saying this, and the words are meant to be about taking responsibility so it makes people feel good, but he's untouchable.

That's why he's trumpeting this out. There are no consequences for him as Head Coach to say this because 1) Contract and Buyout 2) Alleva can't fire him, simply for optics 3) Alleva himself won't be fired 4) He can pivot at literally any moment and blame someone else and the media, and some fans, won't call him out on it

O has a position to act "worried" and "responsible" but has no realistic penalty for the next 12 months at least.

He has been here one year and the results this year aren't that surprising with probably one of the least talented offenses we've had in years. Now the bs with canada is a concern. The team in 2 years should be competing for a championship when Brennan is a junior.

I wonder? How many LSU head coaches have defeated Tennessee away, Auburn (top five), Texas A & M, Ole Miss, Florida (away), Syracuse (upset #1 Clemson), BYU all in one season? I looked it up: answer is zero

The lesser man was a better coach and won at two places and was a proven HC.

As many times as he wants because he doesn’t actually mean it. He’s casually pointed enough fingers and dropped enough talking points that no one, including his boss, even bothers to fact check the BS being put out and blindly repeats that it isn’t his fault.

Come on man, what in the world makes you think O can have this team competing for a championship in two years or ever for that matter? He has shown absolutely nothing that he has in fact learned from his mistakes at Ole Miss. Shite is about to get real for the 2018 season because his honey moon period is over. The rest of the SEC has saddled up and is serious about winning so hold on.

He better Make the right OC hire and hope the offense improves. Miles was fired for 8-9 win seasons and crap offense. Fans are starving for a good offense. 9 wins n year 1 isn’t horrible but with crap offense and bad ooc losses along with a bowl loss isn’t going to cut it

Ha ha you mean the guy who won 34 games in his first 3 years and a national championship?

Please explain how he is a lesser man than our HC

Could that have anything to do with the fact that we had never played BYU prior to 2017?
