Speculation. You don't know anything for certain, and neither do I.

Sorry, but no. Let me lay it out.

We replaced Nick Saban who had brought LSU back to the national stage and won 2 SEC titles and a NC with what many considered a mediocre hire and the time based on his career coaching record of 28-21 at Ok St. However, he went on to have the greatest run in LSU history winning 2 SEC titles, a NC and playing for a 2nd while amassing 114 wins.

We replace him with a man with a career head coaching record of 10-25 in the hopes that his two separate stints as an interim where he won 6 games twice was an indication he was up for the job...and our fans rejoice! Did we suddenly stop caring about resumes or was there some other factor that allowed LSU fans to look past their desire to actually go out and find a qualified, proven winning coach to lead the program?

That's the very definition of misdirection. This isn't 1980 where we DID literally have to beg a former Tiger, Jerry Stoval, to step up and take over a program reeling after the death of Bo Rein and in the off season with no way to fix it. We essentially fired Les Miles in November of 2015 and then had nearly all of 2016 to vet EVERY coach in America only to hand the reigns to Orgeron in November of 2016 after "the search" resulted in tapping our very own DL coach and his 10 & 25 record...and we have people suggesting that after Jimbo and Herman we were fricked and it was Orgeron or no one. Hol-E-frick.

Oh...we also just fired an up and coming OC (who Orgeron himself hired and touted) in favor of promoting our TE's coach to a position he has not held for 20 years.

If that kind of program running isn't mismanagement, than I'm not sure what would rise to that level.
