Those wavering on firing O…no way you are in positions of power in your real life


If O wins out and somehow makes the SEC championship, and wins, and then wins the national championship, then I’ll support his retention.

But what if goes 8-4? Who do you call to deal with your despondency?

You’re correct in what you say. Yet, inexplicably, Derek is in power at LSU. Therefore all of those paid and influenced by this rat are the ones trying to imply there is “wavering”

You people flip flop with the blowing winds.


A true leader has to evaluate not based on a snapshot in time but by evaluating a total body of work.

A true leader can’t get caught up in emotion of one moment.

A true leader makes the difficult decisions with a steady hand and an eye on the long term future of an asset.


No way these O flip floppers are in charge of anyone or anything in real life.


ETA: Thankfully the old AD regime is gone and the new one won’t be swept up by emotional fans crying about a coach getting the pink slip



Not that I am for or against the keeping or firing but this statement about not being in a power position is off..I am in one. Would you want to be fired over an issue where you work without all the info or just be fired because a few people in your company think you need to be? . I do not think we as fans are getting all the information other than the wins and loses. The title 9, the portal, other reasons coordinators would not come after the Natty, the NCAA breathing down our necks. Ed's good or bad conduct. LSU has all the info but you and I as fans really don't know shite about what goes on inside the program..So firing a guy you have to pay 21 million to walk away is no snap decision not counting on what it will cost to get another good coach...At the end of the day it's a business decision not a fan decision..Don't give me that firing him for cause option because it's not. That would bring his attorney in and expose probably more than LSU would like. Also it would be hard to hire a good coach here if we squirrel out of the buyout.

Let's not forget Woodward. He is pure ego (you have to be in that type of role). He will use this as an opportunity to cement his legacy at LSU. Keeping Wade and replacing PM, NF, and soon CEO...

Anyone that wants to keep O should mentally prepare themselves for this yearly cycle of being unprepared, outprepared, player only meetings, guys making business decisions because they see the lack of true vision and coherence from their leader, etc.

Don't let the Florida win obscure the obvious systemic deficiencies that are a part of O's DNA.

Great post. A lot of the clamor is from Ponamsky Propagandists with a few coonass Ed pumpers. Most fans know he’s shitcanned.

I too agree with the OP. When you look at the body of work over two years it’s simply not acceptable at a lot of schools and especially here at LSU. When did we get to the point that if a coach wins a game against a terrible team people start to back track?

I’m in a leadership role in Enterprise Sales. Ed O is also in a leadership role in sales. Frankly, I can’t imagine being this bad at anything and not expecting to get fired.

Don’t we all wish we could have one amazing year in our jobs, make tens of millions of dollars, and follow that up with two god awful years and still get millions just to get the frick out?

It’s hard to even post anything after the win against Florida. Wow, how far has our bar dropped to even have a conversation about keeping this man. Who cares if he wins out? Has the damage not already been done?

This is business. Some idiot asked if Scotty would have fired Les? Lol, really? That clearly shows he, she, they know nothing about Scotty then. Ugh, I digress.

I'll change my mind if he goes 8-4 and beats Bama. Otherwise he needs to go.

Woodward giving O that massive extension was nothing more than getting caught up in the moment and giving him whatever he wanted.

Let’s not paint Woodward as some stoic businessman who always makes the right decisions.
