So, why shouldn't people be happy again?


Who’s not happy about the recruiting? I think OP is just pointing out that it’s really no better than what Les was doing. We’ve still failed to sign a dominant OT.

That remains to be seen. In last year's class LSU signed two OT's. Badara Traore and Cameron Wire are both OT's. Cameron redshirted this year.

This guy who returns a fumble for a 74 yard TD was a highly rated OT when he was committed to Alabama. He is now back at OT and also redshirted last season. 18 second video of 74 TD

They have a signee for this class who is an OT. And the 4-star OL signee from Michigan played OT for his high school and has mentioned playing next to Kardell in college and I don't think he meant playing center.

That's exactly what some here can't understand and it's become quite clear that they never will.

Orgeron was hired to turn LSU's talent into conference championships and playoff runs. The idea when Miles was fired is that LSU just needed a couple "tweeks" and O was the guy to bump LSU back up to an elite collegiate program again.

Orgeron had a good season last year and there's not any true LSU fans who are disappointed with the outcome. However, there isn't any measurable results that support the idea that Orgeron is improving or doing anything better for the progran than Miles was doing. That's not being critical of O at all, it's just reality.


Hopefully, next season Orgeron can change all this and solidify himself as a conference and NC contending head coach. After all, that's exactly what O was hired to do and he embraced these high expectations when JA removed the interim tag making him LSU's head coach.
