I think a lot of people can admit they weren't thrilled with the hire at the time.

At the time, it was a great hire. It just didn't seem that way then.

Newsflash more people thought the Orgeron hire wasn’t going to work than did. Would be quicker to find tweets of people that said O would be great at LSU.

Matt Moscona was the worst about the hire. Not only critical, but made it personal. Coach O and the current coaches will never go on his show.

The Texas folks were thrilled they landed Herman..

To be honest not a lot of folks were thrilled with the Les Miles hire in 2005.

Pulling up what someone said 3 years ago as a “gotcha” is petty. I’m sure you made a few predictions in 2017 that were way off.

Very few, if any thought that the guy would take LSU to the top, including most on this board. Just be happy.

I thought it was a horrific hire and it was on paper. I was very bitter about it and gave up my season tickets because I was certain it was a colossal blunder. Organizations that are in the top 10% of their field typically don’t hire people that have failed miserably and hope they learned from their mistakes. I’m very glad I was wrong and O has my full support now because I support LSU and anyone that is helping make it successful. If he would be sucking, I’d have my pitchfork out ready to strike. He has proven to me that he has was it takes to keep LSU near the top.

It's what sports "journalism" has turned into. Take every issue and make it as dramatically good or bad as you can. It doesn't work for the reasonable, sane people. Unfortunately there are not many of those left as all the millennials look for the next shiny squirrel to retweet first.

Is this another thread where we pretend like we didn’t all hate the hire also?

Not everybody thought that. I wanted him. I was afraid we were going to get Herman.

I was in the same boat. I was really hoping we wouldn’t hire Herman.

I was pulling for Dennis Erickson.

Anyone have an audio link or the text? I don’t remember what he said.

He was very disrespectful toward LSU and Coach O and deserves to be called out for his juvenile tweet.

Typical “journalist” these days, I guess. Classless

2017 tweet on Ed Orgeron hire


If you're trying to compile a list of people who suck, and basing it on whether or not they liked the O hire...you're gonna have a long arse day

I'm not trying to compile that list. I just enjoy when imbecile Dan Wolken has to eat crow.
