The sky is falling because O said he would be more involved in the defense.

O could have avoided saying this, TMI and that may be his death knell....

I think his comments show that if he doesn't get it fixed the honeymoon will be over very quick
It's his job on the line with the new defensive staff

And you have two coordinators on both sides of the ball who have never called plays at this level

Yeah, some of our fans have catastrophe syndrome or something. They're never content and will find something to bitch about even when times are great. It's just their nature and they are probably like that in every aspect of their lives. There's no changing them.

Well when he got the job he said he’d let his coaches coach and being to involved is what caused his ole miss disaster

It is alarming because he has said repeatedly and publicly that his biggest "lesson learned" from his time at Ole Miss was that he should not micromanage. He also sold himself for this job as the CEO who would recruit and stay out of his coodinators' way.

He took over defensive play-calling at Ole Miss and it was an epic disaster.

He also said he told all of the DCs he interviewed that he would be more involved, so I think it's fair to speculate that gave Freeman pause about coming here.

It just isn't what most people wanted to hear.

You do realize these "people" are taking the exact words O has spoken, and holding him to that, and nothing more.

He said anyone who has a problem with it can meet him on the Red Bull aisle at Rouses on Bluebonnet.

The real question is, if they are successful on defense, will the same tards melting give him credit/props? I bet no.

he's a DL expert, why wouldn't he be. All HCs chip in on one side of the ball. Do you morons think Saban doesn't coach up the DBs at Bama

Well to everyone's point, when he does "get involved" it usually turns to shite

Before last season it was declared that our defense was better than any time during the previous season. Who declared that? Hmmm

Why is it that nobody is allowed to criticize Orgeron for foolish decisions?? No coach no matter who it is should ever be totally immune to criticism,for anyone to think anything less means they are a complete homer, and cannot objectively discuss LSU football at all.

Nobody should be downvoted simply for criticizing Orgeron when he deserves it. When he does things that work out well, I acknowledge that, and when he does things that dont work out well he needs to be called out for it.

If people here cant handle reality, they really cant discuss LSU football from anything close to an objective point of view.

If you truly don't understand why this quote might worry people, you have not been paying attention. In terms of actual defensive Xs and Os, it is extraordinarily clear that O doesn't have a clue what he's doing.


Last off-season, O said that our defense was "lightyears" ahead of 2019....and then it was the very clear worst defense in multiple decades.

Dude, shut up. This is literally a message board where fans can come to post an opinion. Sorry they're not running opinions past you and some of the other uppity posters.

Completely agree. What successful team in the country has a head coach that is not involved at a high level with every aspect of their program? Just a question. And to bring up 2019 is a joke. Burrow himself credited O most with giving him the opportunity he had. O brought in Brady, and O also was head coach when Aranda was named to the Associate Head Coach title, hence he was at least involved in that decision as well.

It is O's team at the end of the day. If we win, its because O made the right decisions. If we lose, it is also on O. Period. People need to back off of the ledge.

The last time EdO got more involved on one side of the ball, we lost to Troy St.
