I think a lot of people are going to ignore Orgeron's actual success simply because of how Alleva hired him.... or just the fact that Alleva was the one that hired him.

Fact is that Orgeron was hired as part of a business model for football that requires top coordinators. Its a precarious situation and we're lucky he inherited Aranda.

He also hasn't had Alabama/UGA level recruiting, even though that is advertised as his main asset.

I'm rooting for him to do well though. The model is just very hard to sustain if the coach can't actually coach one side of the ball at an elite level and isn't recruiting as well as the top schools.
