The man who coaches a team with a great OL; an OL that no OL currently at LSU could crack the 3 deep depth chart on.

Orgeron's going to beat at least 5 of those on the list ahead of him this season.

with the talent Miles left him including all his assistants at major positions. Hell I could win 5 games with this talented team over the likes of instate schools
The question will be can he compete with MSU this year, Bama, AU, UF, TAMU, U?

That's funny. Kind of sounds like what some people were saying about Miles post Saban.

Anyway, I was including MSU, UF, TAMU and the U on that list. They won't be easy games, but I expect LSU to win. I'm not going to lower expectations. This season may be a disaster, but until then it's SECC or bust.

I'm no O lover, but I think this list under-rates him. I think he should be in like the 50s.


The toughest division in the toughest conference in America, and he performed well with a turnaround year. Hes a solid coach.
Kestenbaum would not have won 4 games last year

81 seems really high, but he hasn’t proven much to date, so I can’t argue with the experts.
He’ll have another chance to improve his stock. Hopefully he takes advantage this time.

And start bragging about how Athlon wouldn’t have balls to say it to Coach O’s face because the Cajun Incredible Hulk would beat them up.

I don’t even want to get in the continuing debate about our football coach, but did want to comment that out of all the preseason college football magazines, Athlon’s has to be the absolute worst. There are errors and incorrect information throughout their magazine, and if they cannot keep the facts straight, then what validity does some subjective poll done by some staffer to fill a couple of pages in the magazine possess? Athlon sucks.

His best win as the LSU HC is over Auburn last year.

Athlon must be O fans. That’s a generous ranking.

Underrated... based on what? He stands as the worse coach in Ole Miss history.

So he turned into Orgeron?



I'd say the jury is still out on that call. We will know soon enough what we have. Anything else at this point is pure speculation.

Yep. Good one. I think the point is that the jury is still out and people are still skeptical. The guy has a prime opportunity to shove all of this shite right back in people's faces. I'm pulling for him.

I sincerely hope he shoves it in my face. That means my team is winning. I’m rooting for LSU, I just don’t see where he’s the man to lead the team I root for. Won’t apologize for that.

That's fair. I won't make excuses for O when he loses. Can I get the same assurance that there won't be excuses for Richt and the Canes when we beat them or Fischer and the Aggies when we beat them? I mean all of these SEC teams from MSU to Arky, UF and A&M have all gotten big coaching upgrades so no excuse for these teams if LSU beats them right?
