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.

No the experts on this board said thst had nothing to do eith it.

Any time anyone mentioned O may have lost the team because of it we were assured that wasn't it.

Rohan has alluded to it many times, but anytime its been posted the down vote brigade shows up

it was a big deal. O going on Fox news a few times lauding the president didn't help. Should have taken the high road and not made praise nor criticism and declined the appearances.

regardless of how you feel, players and their families weren't happy with it. some didn't care, some did

Everyone I've heard talk about it said it caused issues that drug into the season. Doesn’t help when you have an agitator former alum going on social media and badmouthing the coach.

It was a big factor and one reason we started so poorly.
Outsiders stirred the pot and made it worse.

I really don’t think any protesting has anything to do with how crappy we are playing on the field.....

I will say this in ONE sentence......


Coach O has LOST this team........

It may be the perception but any player who thinks Alabama genuinely supports those protests more than LSU is an idiot.

Who cares? It's not an excuse. The coaches are paid well to coach and fix issues. The players are given free everything for (4) years to not cause problems and perform. Get it straight. This isn't a Social Causes 101 course.

It's pretty clear O did not communicate with his players as well as he could have. I honestly think his players wouldn't care nearly as much about what he thinks of the president if he just talked to them without Jacoby Stevens having to speak up first.

Just speculating.

This has nothing to do with our OL sucking
Nothing to do with Brennan getting hurt
Nothing to do with Clark sucking at LB
Nothing to do with completely blown coverages
Nothing to do with our RBs having average talent


The team didn’t quit on Orgeron because of the BLM protest or support for Trump.

The protest or whatever you wanna call it is how the team, the coaches, and the LSU brass lost a large segment of the fan base.

It's not O's fault that Jacoby Stevens and Kardell Thomas think they are Malcolm X

Protest all you want but don't divide your locker room

Sorry not buying that. If a stupid protest is enough to derail a season like this then the kids have no balls whatsoever. Ok you’re mad your coach didn’t protest, get the frick over it and go play your hardest for yourselves, your family and your teammates. You don’t have to do it for your coach and your don’t have to like your coach to give all your effort. When you play soft and undisciplined like they have they are only hurting themselves because it’s all on film for scouts. I hear all the time about players wanting to “get the bag”. If you want the money then act like it and play like it. You’re 18-22 years old, you’re not a kid anymore. Grow up.
