If O finishes with a top 5 to 10 class while filling all our needs

Huge if

Pretty rhetorical question. O is never going to win a popularity contest on this board, doesn't matter what he does.

I just want to win and compete for NC's, don't give a dam who the HC is.

Hopefully, he will fill his trawl with quality players and not just some roster fillers. Top 10 class with our haul last year would be a great start to being in the mix at the end of next year.

He better always have a top 10 classes. I can’t think of any other reason he was given the job. I guess Alleva being incredibly incompetent is a reason too.

Him bringing in a strong class for me would affirm recruiting remains his strong suit. It wouldn’t answer the questions I have about his ability to actually coach and be a strong gameday playcaller.

orgeron also seems much more open minded (less stubborn) about change. too early to tell but miles got canned for the same reasons dinardo did. hire a shite coordinator and defend him to the "death". I believe orgeron will play the best at each position and seems to have some damn good game plans. now, it's up to the players to execute those plans. also, you can't even compare clock management; coach O is far superior. he knows what he's doing on the sideline where it seems that miles did not always. I think if coach O can recruit as good as miles but meeting needs, we will be back.

Livingston on board - add Surtain, Marshall, Rogers, Joseph, Chase and Joiner. 26 and done!

The “ hate” is because some of do not think he can get us back to championship contention. If he finishes with a strong class that’s a good thing but he has to prove he can beat more than 1 good team a year.

ETA to get a top 5 class you do need some 4-5*

We have 20 commits at present 0 are 5*. I know we are recruiting some big names if they commit that will be great

first of all, La talent is down this year. also, we still have 5 or more slots left and that's where you add the top guys a lot as they hold off till the end. lastly, this class is filled with guys recruited for the needs of the team and this often precludes this "magic" team recruiting rating. I really think miles got complacent and recruited for star rating over needs.

this is the reason why some LSU fans are so hateful toward O. while some of these haters have a point (his ole miss record) they seem to overlook that people actually do improve by learning from their mistakes and he did a fine job as interim for two different major programs. there also are those that harbor a definite bias against Cajuns; I have run into many people in this category my whole life, in both south and north Louisiana (mostly north) and in texas.

regardless of reasons for hate, one would think that intelligent fair minded people, esp fans, would give the man a chance to prove his value to our program. I have seen many posters that have already done this and I applaud that. I believe myself to be in that category as I wanted Fisher real bad and was shocked when O was hired. I now feel that the man has a very good chance at keeping our program at a very high level, like Miles, with an periodical chance for a title (SEC). but the jury is still out.

making fun of our HC and nitpicking minor issues over and over and over again DOES NOT HELP LSU and actually hurts us in recruiting. thankfully, most recruits families are more mature and understand that message boards are filled with immature, nonknowledgable posters, some of which are alters loyal to competitive programs.
