It’s going to be hilarious when this board implodes after we score 3 points against Bama with the new ‘Saints’ offense

when it comes to alabama and LSU actually scoring points against them, I expect more of the same. shut outs.

Alleva also had to be sold on expanding the support staff, recruiting budget, and delayed multiple facilities upgrades. The compliance reforms and amended donor relations are hot topics right now. Again, Alleva was a bean counter who only cared about maximizing profits. He viewed a good season in terms of ticket sales, and the extent to which he cared about wins and losses was the point at which they affected those ticket sales.

There’s a lot more to it than on the book salaries. Miles had some of the highest paid coaching staffs in the country but was undermined for years in other more subtle ways. Bama is what it is because they’re a well oiled machine, from the richest booster to the chick pulling faxes on signing day they are a unified entity all working for a common goal. Woodward understands that, and tried briefly to get aTm on board with it. Orgeron may prove himself not the right guy, but it won’t have anything to do with him not being Woodward’s hire. I get that some on the rant get a half chub at the thought of Orgeron getting fired, but I guarantee you no one is happier to have Woodward than him.

My view point on Orgeron has always remained the same. In basketball, if a guy takes a poor shot and it just happens to go in, that shouldn't mean it's suddenly not a bad shot. It's a bad shot regardless of the outcome.

Same thing applies with Orgeron, I'm happy with where the program is headed, and I don't think it's disputable that the program is on an upward trend and is in a significantly better place than it was just 2-3 years ago. But it was still a poor hire, and even if Orgeron wins a title in the next 2-3 years it's still a bad hire. LSU has just gotten EXTREMELY lucky to date that it's worked out.

team this year is primed for a great season

That's what I'm saying. If O doesn't win 11 games, THEN his seat will be hot.

......I just want to see Ed's face.

Ed should be smiling his arse off getting a Louisiana boy as a boss. A guy who just paid $7.5 million per year and $75 million guaranteed over 10 years.

Will Wade would be the face to look for. Alleva is the one who hired him and he is facing possible NCAA sanctions.

Our fans so hate JA and CEO, that they want to see the LSU football team go in the crapper, just to get rid of CEO and to prove that JA was "wrong"?

---

As a fan, I was one of many who wasn't happy with the O hire. I thought he was our guy short term ... but seeing how he is recruiting well and bringing in staff that he wants to run the schemes he wants, and has the football program overall looking in a positive direction, I'm happy to be proven wrong. I'd love to see him win a Natty. Would love to see what the media would have to say about that!

if you're a fan of something, you shouldn't root for it to fail because you don't like the coach and want him to be removed from his job. thats asinine and counterproductive.

Woodward and O will get along well. They are both Louisiana and LSU guys first. Their relationship will probably go much more positively than anyone here would expect.

If he wins a championship of some kind maybe he can get some scratch like that one day. Heck, maybe if he can just muster a point against Bama. Just one single solitary point.

---

Like I said - Eaux will probably have a shite eating grin on his face.

I guess the OP just likes seeing the football Head Coach smiling and so happy he can hardly contain himself.

just wanted to tell you to go frick yourself.

I would tell you "ditto" but I have no idea who you are and don't care if you frick yourself or not.

Hope you have a GREAT day.
