re: 3 things I can appreciate Coach O for….

I appreciate that he is so atrocious that the crash and burn to fire him took just 15 games after a natty. Most coaches with a 2019 on their resume would have a 3-5 year runway before the hot seat.
Because he’s an emotional and not cerebral man, “sissy blue shirt”, hitting on married women, “fishing hole” choices allowed Woody cover to fire and replace with an elite HC.
If O had a 3-digit IQ, he could well still be here.

His teams were actually talented after 2019. He just let players do whatever they wanted and there was zero structure or accountability.
And he recruited strictly for a top class, not for high character guys.

The HC position could have been vacated and that team would have won the NC with Ensminger and Aranda running things.

Coach O didn't just take a victory lap.
He took a world pooty tour and never looked back.

quote:The DL, hell the front 7 Miles left gave us a top 5 scoring defense that year with a first year Aranda.
I appreciate the dline he left us compared to what we had at the end of the Miles era.
Arden Key 14.5 TFL 12 sacks, 3 forced fumbles
Davon Godchaux 8.5 TFL 6.5 sacks
Tashawn Bower 5 TFL 4 sacks 1 forced fumble
Senior LBs Kendall Beckwith and Duke Riley both had 90+ tackles and combined for 15 TFL and 3 sacks.
We had a freshman LB (Devin White)
Freshman tackles were Rashard Lawrence and Ed Alexander (top 5 and 10 at their position out of high school).
If you go look at the defensive players on that 2016 team when Les was fired, it was a freaking gold mine.

20 players signed is a shite ton.
This doesn’t happen every year.
And Covid restrictions didn’t compound those circumstances when it did for those other teams.

Fair enough, however, to suggest that it was the norm is GROSSLY untrue.

Wasn’t that AFTER the shite show occurred at LSU? Iirc, Saban did say “ALL lives matter” though.

I just won’t judge him without context.

Ed Orgeron deserves the respect of LSU fans for the greatest season we will probably ever experience again. His faults were many, in particular, his inability to sustain a consistent winnable culture after success.

Miles “left us with”:
2016 roster, his final year (yes, 3 graduated afterwards but the rest were starters for the ‘19 team).
Godchaux, Lawrence (future All SEC), LaCouture, Key (All SEC/freshman AA), Lewis Neal, Ed Alexander (Freshman all sec), Andre Anthony, and Glen Logan.
2017 signing class which miles recruited:
Chaisson (all sec/1st rd pk), Shelvin, Farrell
All multi year starters for Lsu and draft picks.

Nah, that was the end of 2014. 2015 was the year with Kevin Steele where we gave up more yards and like 1 TD more per game.
Kinda why I was mad about losing Chavis, a lot of that 2014 defense was coming back and a couple younger guys were coming into their own (Beckwith and Jamal Adams).

While I appreciate his efforts of staying out of the way during that season, I don’t respect anything about his hire or his almost total withdrawal from the team after the 2019 season.
Let’s not forget that urban Meyer had a lot to do with where Joe landed after he left Ohio State.
