If you were a top tier, big name coach, would you take the job knowing your predecessor was given only one year to turn things around? I think not.

Top name coaches don’t compare themselves to Ed fricking Orgeron. The loser mentality of you people makes me thankful I cross many of you in business. Easy Pickens.

I am totally ok with a top tier coach turning us down as long as a coach that isn't a career loser would take the job.

If they paid me enough money and I was guaranteed to have Dave Aranda and Corey Raymond on staff I could give a frick if my predecessor lasted 2 weeks.

a top tier coach would laugh and say im taking over for orgeron. He shouldn't have been hired by any school. Id imagine they'd understand our situation

Most of us just want Alleva fired Now.

A new AD can make the decision on O, but replacing the AD would signal to other coaches that LSU is serious about improving.

That attracts talent.

The right amount of money tends to make people look past those things.

If anything I wouldn’t want to work for an AD who was stupid enough to hire Ed fricking O in the first place.

I thought this wasn’t supposed to be a rebuild? He inherited a team that could win now and played one of the weakest sec schedules of all time and still managed 4 losses.

Special Ed was never a good coach so he gets a very short leash. All the good coaches are considered good coaches because they had good success at previous jobs, therefore they would have more time, a longer leash, and more patience from everyone involved with LSU. Special Ed doesn't deserve that treatment. This really isn't a difficult thing to figure out.

Firing Orgeron with Alleva still working as AD will put us in the exact same position as this year.

Stop talking about firing Orgeron, and talk about firing our shite AD.

Most people know he won’t realistically be fired any time soon. But you can formulate an opinion on the direction of the program based on what you’ve seen, or haven’t seen, from him so far.

Actually I would wager that most HC candidates, assuming we had a competent AD and search would realize O was, to put it kindly a bad fit.

The AD would say you what I had to do with my previous regime? After a bad loss to a Sun Belt team where the HC stripped the OC of playcalling and told him he could not use the motions and shifts, I had to call an unprecedented in the history of college football meeting with the HC, OC and DC to explain responsibilities.

So yeah I figure most would understand and appreciate that a change was necessary.

Top tier coaches are smart. They would realize that O was not part of their fraternity and would understand LSU moving on from this failed experiment.

Dave Aranda would clearly understand this and should be made to say no to being the head coach next year.

Will he be the next great one? I do not know, but I sure would hate to find out he is while watching him at another SEC school.

Turn around what? We were averaging 9 wins a year under Miles. It wasn’t a matter of turning anything around. It was more taking the next step. I’m not for firing him now but I’m definitely more concerned now than I was when he was hired. And I didn’t even like the hire.
