You honestly don't believe there were plenty of candidates, with better coaching resumes than Orgeron when he was hired?

you honestly don't believe there was NO inquiring about candidates, and NO money/effort spent for the search on the most important hire? A hire thats was buzzing so hard there was a meeting at halftime in 2015 A&M game. What else were all the people paid doing besides, market research, evaluate prospective interest, exhaust means to get top targets, etc..

Honestly, no I don't believe there was much of a search. If you have been around this board during those times, there is constantly names leaking. No search has gone by without at least a few posters nailing the hire. All you heard was Jimbo, Herman and Orgeron.

Did they do any other research? I'm sure they did, but there were 3 candidates for the job considered, and that's it.

What exactly are you asserting here? This narrative that Orgeron essentially did s a favor by bailing us out after the ONLY two legitimate possible coaches turned us down may be the very worst take in the whole coaching search fiasco.

For the sake of argument...let's say that's correct and after Jimbo and Tom Herman LITERALLY NO OTHER SOLID COACH would take our phone calls...what would the reason for that be?

We know it is not because we refuse to pay top dollar for coaches.

We know it is not because of conference affiliation and prestige.

We know it isn't because it's difficult to recruit to LSU.

We know it isn't because of a lack of facilities.

We know it's not due to a lack of recent success and relevancy.

We know it's not fan support, both financial and in the stands.

So...what do you attribute as the potential reason for why LSU could not lure ANY OTHER COACH to LSU besides our own DL coach and his resume of having already gone 10-25 at Ole Miss in his one and only stint as a full-time head coach?

Oh...and before you suggest it was because LSU fans are too demanding having just fired Miles, name one coach worth his salt that would not take a job because of high expectations?
