If some players did not like his response than do we really want those players on the team anyway? All it did was cause division

Saban saw what happened to LSU and O and did the exact opposite.

Bama didn't do shite until after O was raked over the coals.

If this explanation accurately describes the reason for this season, then the players would all have been better served by opting out than looking like crap on film. This makes no sense to me.

wokeness demolished the fragile cohesion of the team after so many defections (graduation, early exit and covid opt-out).

It was a big factor in the shitshow that was this season.

O was notified about the protest. He knew it was going to happen. What he said and how he said it showed he didn’t care. The players weren’t happy about it. See the results.

Most of the posters on here are in denial about Orgeron losing the locker room because of the way he handled it and his comments in reference to Trump.

They are the same posters that are against the BLM movement (which is fine)... but you also have to accept the reaction/consequences that comes with it when your career is in the hands of young black males. You can't have it both ways.

Instead of fans acknowledging that it was poorly handled by Orgeron, they rather point the finger at Ryan Clark. Saban & Smart could very well disagree with the BLM Movement and support Trump but they were wise enough to keep their mouth closed and they got ahead of it by showing support to their players.

Regardless of political leaning, regardless of your opinion on the president, on Ed, on BLM, on police brutality.

Regardless of just about anything...did Ed Orgeron and his team appear to be in sync over the summer? The answer is a resounding NO. It’s not debatable.

He was making comparisons on what Bama did better then us in the off-season. He said twice during the first hour that LSU didn’t handle the protest well and Bama did. Seems like that was the downfall with coach O and the players before the season started.


Then frick every single one of them. I couldn't care less now if that is true.

And it's "than", not "then" in your title.

Our team that drops the ball before scoring so they can show off down 21 pts is holding O accountable for not doing anything wrong. Good times.

No doubt.

As the head of a program, Orgeron probably could have handled it better. A college football coach doesn't need to be going on Fox News.

Me personally? I don't have a problem with how he handled the protest stuff. frick all of the social justice bullshite that took place this summer. If that's how Orgeron felt personally, then fine. If the players don't like it, then that's also fine.

So because "O" didn't pat his players on the back and tell them what great phony virtue signalers they are, he didn't handle it well? He hasn't handled his staff well. If players are butthurt about some stupid protest about a narrative that they're too lazy to actually educate themselves about, then they deserve the season they've had.

Edit- And all the phony virtue signalers in this thread who are taking the side of the players over their political BS deserve this season, as well. You are all pathetic.

People bring ahit like this up like they actually believe Stevens is playing poorly because of this.

Flott isn’t getting toasted by Smith because the players are upset about how O handled the protest. Shinehan and Deculus aren’t fricking turnstiles because of any political leanings.

Can we even blame this for Chase and Shelvin opting out? Is the time if even right for that?

Alabama welcomed Trump to campus for the game with LSU. Was there not any fallout in Tuscaloosa with players because of this? The audacity to say something good about a man who welcomed you to his home, said nice things about you, and let you dance like morons. How dare O!

If the players are going to quit and play like crap over that bs protest than LSU should shut the program down over some privileged athletes manif whom wouldn’t sniff college other than because they can run, hit, throw or catch a ball.
