Forget the hot seat: After saving LSU in 2017, what if Ed Orgeron is entering his prime?

“Saving” LSU???

Article not off to a good start.

quote:

"He spent the day," coach Ed Orgeron recalled. "He saw the LSU tradition the players weren't carrying on. He went to supper with them on Wednesday night, showed up at the first workout at 6 in the morning on Thursday, followed them, watched them in the meetings, watched the way dressed, watched the way they practiced.
"Then he said, 'Coach, let me have them.' He called them out."

Uh, Coach, who’s fault was it that they weren’t meeting, dressing, practicing in the “LSU tradition”???

Anyone consider that a lesser coach could have lost the locker room after the Troy defeat?

A lesser coach

Anyone consider a better coach wouldn’t have had the September that O did??

This is what any optimism boils down to, and it’s a lie.

We ran through a historically bad SEC after Troy, beating five teams that fired their coaches, beat a good Auburn team at home after going down 20-0 in the first quarter (take from that what you will), and list to Alabama never being closer than 2 TDs after the first quarter.


O is 1-4 or 2-5 against the quality teams since taking over whether you include bowl games or not.

SEVEN of his ten SEC wins are over teams .500 or worse in conference and SIX didn’t even make Bowl games.



For years we heard that LSU won because of talent and in spite of coaching.

How any rational observer could think we have seen anything different under O is beyond me.


That article is a joke. It offers no reasons for WHY O may be in his prime now, only asks WHAT IF??


fricking joke.
