If Orgeron is capable of fixing the downfall after 2019, why didn’t he prevent them?

so bashing Orgeron again is all the rage now?

Troy.

I can forgive a coach for having tunnel vision on his way to a perfect season. As it is, we finished 500 in an all SEC schedule in an off year where we lost our starting QB early and had to replace a DC and Heisman winning QB from the year before.

You're mad that he can't predict the future?

Look I have really high expectations for our HCs in every sport but being a seer isn't one of them.

To fix the issues now means he has to identify them. If he’s capable of identifying what went wrong last year, why couldn’t he prevent these issues?

I feel like if he couldn’t identify the problems prior to 2020, how can he know how to fix them for 2021?

Holy shite you are reaching

Well it was too late to stop them after they were noticed last year.

We had some very odd things happen.

Also it’s very hard to keep a team at the top it took Saban 3 tries to get the machine he has now.

LSU 03 he was ahead of schedule and we even had a step back in 04

Bama 09 he had a bad step back in 2010

Bama 11 is when he started his current domination.

He was too busy writing a book, divorcing his wife, and chasing tail to go out and hire quality replacements on his staff. Dude was living the life he couldn’t be bothered by doing his job.

Nobody would have been capable of stopping the issues LSU dealt with last year. Most of the issues were far beyond a coaches control.that doesn’t mean he didn’t make mistakes (Bo). There are things to clean up and he seems to have addressed those. This year will show a lot one way or the other.

Because it's harder to stay at the top then it is to get to the top. Counterintuitive, but true.

We had a young immature team. Couple that with covid shutdowns in offseason with new coordinators so limited time to install anything. Throw in some race baiting , all sec schedule, and injuries and we were fortunate to do as well as we did.

This is not an excuse. It’s facts and it shows why trying to surround a recruiter as a HC with elite coordinators is not a feasible strategy for sustained success.

Some of it wasn’t completely foreseeable

Chase, Vincent , Tyler would have all been back if not for Covid.

Most people don’t expect every player to leave at the same time and their starting QB to get hurt, their backup get accused of rape.

There were mistakes made for sure. Bo and Linehan were bad hires.

By the end of the season we were starting 1-2 guys from 2019. When Stingley was hurt and Marshall quit.

Aranda leaving was probably expected but I dont Think before 2019 he could have foreseen Brady getting an NFL OC job.
