re: Working for Coach O

The guy smears everyone who doesn’t lick his arse and if you’re talking about Freeman I have zero doubt it was over scheme that he turned us down. You can believe the silly wife bullshite if you want to but nobody likes Brian Kelly, he’s a jerk. For Orgeron to lose out to that guy is a bad sign no matter what the pumpers tell you

That's meaningless speculation on your part, and would be as useless as me saying only the very best coaches want to work for Orgeron / LSU, ergo Freeman was scared to compete on the big stage of the SEC and wasn't a good fit. Undoubtedly, you would disagree with this, but your argument has as little or less logic.

The decision for a coach to accept a position can be based on many factors, including perception of your boss (Kelly vs Orgeron... He might like both or neither), region (preference of South Bend vs BR for self and family), pressure (less at ND), stability of staff (probably an advantage for ND), money (usually favors LSU, though the Pelini buyout may have made LSU bid lower than they might've), and so on.

I'm not sure you're capable of holding more than one detail in your mind at once (your post comes off as hateful and petty), but if you are, then it's not too difficult to envision a myriad of scenarios in which Freeman might decide Notre Dame provides a similar upward trajectory for his career as LSU while satisfying other personal preferences he might have. It's that simple. And it's not difficult to see that LSU is a high risk / high reward place that might turn some good coaches off.

If you want to be critical of things or people, that's fine. This is The Rant. But if you're actually an LSU fan and not a troll from another school, do us all a favor, and ground your arguments in actual thought vs the drivel you just posted. Be a better person and make this board more enjoyable for other fans.
