Good personal story about Coach O

My uncle is the coach of our local high school football team and told this story to us last night. The day before the Miami game, my uncle gets a phone call from a Baton Rouge number. “Hey coach, this is ‘So and So’ from the LSU athletic department. We just wanted to call and wish you guys good luck today against (the team we were playing that night). Also, here’s Coach Orgeron.” Coach O comes on and calls my uncle by name: “Hey Coach, this is Coach O. Just wanted to wish you guys good luck.” They shoot the shite a little while about our game and the Miami game. He says the boys are ready to whip some Hurricane arse. Finishes with a “Take care and Geaux Tigas” and that’s it.
Just thought it was really cool, and I imagine they did that to most if not all the high school coaches as a recruiting tactic. Our little school has no kids that will play college ball, but thought it was a nice gesture and a cool story.

I believe he’s laying the foundation for the wall we are trying to throw up around our state.

I didn’t bash him but I joined the herd in severely doubting his abilities. I think a lot of us owe him an apology. He has this team as well coached as anyone could have them to this point. I get it, cautious optimism, and I agree, but the two keys to our team’s success (QB and kicker) are because of HIM.

Did they call the other team as well?

Just another reason that Coach O is one of the top coaches in college football. This guy is perfect for our school and our state. From the way he talks, to the gameface that he puts on, he's going to be a legend that we get to tell our grandkids about.

I bought some killer shrimp from him when he was between jobs.

That coach of that little school may one day be at a big school and he'll remember that call...

I met Coach O once. I introduced myself. He stuck his hand out and said " hey dere Baw". Ed is cool in my book.

Yet you still got 4 downvotes. O could bring about world peace and cure cancer and people will still hate and recite his record as HC at Ole Miss.

I must confess - In April, I was going to write a post on an Ohio State site to poke fun at Orgeron. So I Googled around for an hour or so, and the more I learned, the more I really liked Coach O. And now, the more I see how he handles his team, the more I respect the man.
I think he'll be bringing in the Jimmy's and the Joe's to LSU for many years to come.
He's like a Cajun John Wayne.
