So if the Staff went with the idea of if they accepted Goodrich's commitment because of 'scaring away Surtain', it was both a dumb strategy (didn't consider what ifs vs extreme consequences at the position) and a bad mentality. LSU needs to be more ruthless in it's recruiting, not buying into narratives (scaring players away) that leaves you completely exposed. That was a change from the late-Miles years that I expected to happen; it obviously did not.
Orgeron is too emotional to be in charge of this. He should've known something was wrong when we couldn't get an early signing day commitment. He has to run this like a business.
Assess your risk with certain recruits and plan accordingly. Trust shouldn't even enter into it. Be prepared for a recruit burning you and don't be left empty-handed. Recruits are into business for themselves so the school might as well take the same approach. Saban gets burned, Jimbo gets burned, every coach gets burned on these issues. The difference is those guys plan for it.
I'm surprised that someone that's as skilled at recruiting as O thinks he is doesn't approach it in this manner.

A mistake of epic proportions by someone that overvalues themselves and surrounds themselves with yes men.
In no Universe that you play football in should you think going into spring training with 3 cb's active on the roster and 1 still in the doghouse per his coach is an acceptable thing.
The mistake is in the overall decision making and lack of balance in the class.
Even in the end the poster above is correct - when Goodrich says that he wants in you keep him on the phone and have another coach call Foster and tell him that he needs to commit or his spot is gone. If he commits you got the qb you said you wanted barring a late flip that you can not control. If he does not commit you take Goodrich and move on.
The Head Coach has to maintain control of the things that he can control.
Coach O did not.
Simple as that.
