O’s comments about taking responsibility appears to be a smoke screen

When I read those comments I felt that O is putting up a good front to cover up what is really going on. It seems to me that O and Woodward’s weekly meeting was a move towards O’s release. If O can contain the flames he will get a chance to exit with the little self-respect he has left along with his best settlement that will be much less than the buyout number. Expect O to remain for the season unless he totally melts. If he does melt he will be gone with cause. Time will tell but it looks like Woodward let O know he won’t be back next year.

if O is going to behave they will need to take away all interaction with fans. Perhaps we borrow the Pope Mobile and let him ride into the stadium home and away in it.

The local media will never ask a tough question so he should be ok interacting with them.

O had a chance with the call last night to take responsibility for the bimbos.

He could’ve been humble, admitted he’s made some mistakes that have hurt LSU brand while not handling a difficult divorce well and just said “I guess I had that coming, you played me well”. He would’ve won the crowd and many here over with humor and humility.

Unfortunately that’s not the real O, only the coached up O when Ponamsky tells him this will play well in media and with fans.

O’s instincts when confronted are violence, as that’s his only strength (no analytical capacity). He’s really a fascinating human case study to still be so insecure in his 60s having hit the pinnacle of his profession in 2019, but not having basic intellect to see his deficiencies to know how to hire/compensate to keep to ride going. This is what Derek was for and he failed miserably.

100% he would have been fired last night. No way can he admit on the radio to banging college coeds. O should have remained silent and moved on like Blair attempted to do. That is the only correct move, it shows that he lacks basic common sense.

Not referring to the coeds as no evidence has come to light there. Was referring to Baille and maybe UCLA blond with photos that 80% of LSU fans are aware.

. What has he done in his personal life that needs taking responsibility for? You people are fricking psychotic and quite full of yourselves.

As for being fired for coed sexy admission, Aleeva had similar dirt on Miles and tried to fire and F King/BOS nixed. I don’t assume anything with the shiteshow LSU runs.

That is not what the prank call mentioned.

So you think he should randomly just start trying to explain a post divorce girlfriend after that call ?

Silence was the only option. It is common sense.

Between Miles, Drake Davis, and Guice it’s apparent LSU is willing to sacrifice its coeds to sexual assault for football prowess.

He’s threatening to bury people in the swamp. We are past football at this point.

With all of the different issues that have come up over O's tenure here I can honestly say I've never seen the ground swell to this degree. It's not just losing. It's personal conduct, mismanagement, scandal and complete lack of confidence in his ability to get the program back to where it needs to be.

He's managed to burn every bridge, alienate nearly all support and burn through all the capital and good will that came with a historic season.

It's a total lack of self control and focus. I really thought he had rehabilitated himself and his career, but it's like someone whose fallen off the wagon.

I don’t see the big issue with the coed picture. A picture surfaced after he got divorced. It was a stupid move on his part to let it get taken, but hardly a cardinal sin in the football world.

I do admit that the coed picture coupled with the lack of success and the sexual assault handling does give a good reason to get fired.

Edit: Typo

Its very obvious some of you have zero deductive reasoning skills. LSU has a huge problem on its hands. It has been going on since Miles and it also involves wealthy boosters.

That is why Miles escaped being fired for his indiscretions and why people need to drop any mention of the Adios thread. The national media is going to start poking around and if I can find out the true story from Franklinton so will they.

If this story gets out LSU football is fricked for years to come.
