re: Cajun Country Beams with Pride over Orgeron being hired as LSU head coach

His record at Ole Miss is a legitimate argument, and concern. How about the fact that not one single university that was hiring had him on their wishlist of candidates? How about the fact that he clearly couldn't get the job done against UF in Tiger Stadium?
How about the fact that Joe had an enormous head start in the coaching search, and only had three candidates on his radar, and made a half-assed attempt at hiring two of them, as if he was going through the motions in order to placate the fan base when it was O all along, because the T-shirters thought he talked like them, and he eats gumbo?
That's really weak...especially the Ole Miss part being when???
Jimbo didn't want to come - get over it.

I would admit that it helped BUT I don't give a damn if Orgeron was born with Tiger stripes without this interim job he did and all the moves he made paying off he would NOT have gotten this job PERIOD. The job he did with this team is what won him this job. That and the other two candidates playing games. I want a coach that wants to be here and there was no better guy for the job IMO. It's nuts to ignore what coach O did in his two most successful stints as HC then apply his most unsuccessful stint especially knowing that the negative stint was much longer ago then the last two positive stints.
I know some folks from Cali that had no clue that coach O was from Louisiana and wanted that man as their HC and I'm talking about USC alumni. When I told them that he was from Louisiana a few of them all of a sudden changed their tune strictly bc he's from Louisiana. Our own Louisianaians talk shite on our own people it's sooooo freakn pathetic. You guys are pathetic people.
This X 1,000

It's nice that he's from Louisiana and all but it really doesn't matter where our coaches are from as long as they win.
Agreed.
One thing for sure - whoever it is will HAVE TO learn to understand what LSU football means to (not just the fans) the overall culture of the state. Anyone in college sports will tell you LSU is a unique place. Saturday Night in Tiger Stadium is not replicated anywhere in America. LSU football is the biggest religion in the state. O goes into the job with an acute understanding of this. His recruiting resume ain't too bad either.

I'd be willing to bet that Coach O will be significantly better than Miles was.
I bet even you aint stupid enough to make that bet. If you are then i'm your huckleberry.

Why are you banging your head? What I stated is factually true.

Hey Huckleberry, how many records have been blown up in the few games O has been Coach? Not 1 but TWO single game rushing records broken! Oh, and let's remember Les was the smash mouth run attack Coach.

He's been a HC at 3 schools, dunce. Yes, interim at USC but he was still the HC...and did a great job.

I bet you Coach O wont go 114-34.
He better not win less than 8 games too. Miles never won less than 8 in any season since at LSU.

Ole Miss, but at the same time, he didn't make any of those same stupid mistakes all over again either when he interned at USC and again at LSU. As far as I'm concerned he improved LSU significantly during his internship and unlike Les Miles at least Coa
Ole miss was his team/program. USC and LSU weren't his teams. He was serviceable at both places and held it together for remainder of those seasons, but they weren't his programs. It's really dumbfounding that you people don't see the difference.
And if there were no other qualified coaches on LSUs radar then the incompetency levels in the AD office are worse then we thought. I hope O brings us back to the promised land, but I'm afraid I'll be better served to hope in one hand and shite in the other.

So he was interim. Thank you. Who's the dunce?

Being an interim HC does not equal being the actual HC.
Posted on 12/26/16 at 10:20 pm to INFIDEL
I know. That's the point I was making.
Posted on 12/27/16 at 7:02 am to Mo Jeaux
In an effort to keep this thread doing an interim HC actually is an appointed position. Therefore, clearly O has been HC at 3 schools now.
INFIDEL, since "no one better" was out there do you really think Aleva screwed up by not retaining Les??? Do you seriously think LSU would have been better served with Les than Coach O???

When is everyone going to wake up and realize we hired O as a safe lateral move to firing Les? Les promised change in the wake of being fired and in the offseason. Les basically stuck his middle finger up to our admins and the fans as evidenced in Lambeau. Orgeron is a figure head head coach and promises to make the changes Les didn't.

Whether or not Orgeon's LSU program will be considered a success or failure years from now is debatable. Whether or not Joe Alleva did his damn job, or whether or not Ed Orgeron should have been in the Top 10 potential candidates for this job most considered to be a Top 5-10 gig in America is not.
Too bad you ruined a great post with the above stupid statement. So if in the next few years CEO wins the SEC and makes the playoff you will say "Well, he still shouldn't even be the coach because Alleva didn't do his damn job?"
That is just a dumb way to look at things.

This is a little hard for me to understand, as USC football legend Marv Goux and USC baseball legend Rod Dedeaux have Louisiana roots. So for me, any USC alum disregarding someone "just because they are from Louisiana" is ignorant in the extreme.
I personally wanted Coach O to stay because he gave the players hope at a time when they really needed someone to rally them, in the teeth of those NCAA sanctions. The upset of Stanford still gives me chills. I believe he would have been retained if he could have beaten ucla or Notre Dame that season. If he'd beaten both of our rivals, I'm sure he'd have been retained.
I'm rooting for him to do well at LSU.
