Lots, every year. When you take all the guys who have LSU offers who end up elsewhere it’s a pretty high number.


this is what is meant when they say recruiting coordinator is not completely off the hook.

is he to blame exclusively?
of course not.

just like it’s not fair to say that the guy managing the recruiting process has zero responsibility for any of our misses.

Well I know for a fact O said that he makes the decisions on who to recruit. No one else. He don’t take anybody’s ability to evaluate players over his own. Roster management is the task of the head coach. Sure they may take advice from other coaches. but the head coach is the guy who makes the call on we will prioritize player A over player B. Not the recruiting coordinator.

This is frightening, and yet simultaneously completely believable.

. Here's the question: is an extension needed to give him more credibility with recruits? So that's my concern: the affect of this on recruiting. That's why I don't think LSU fans should make a big demonstration against it, b/c that makes him look bad and could possibly affect recruiting


This is it. It doesn't matter what the average poster here says it's what the ADs of the world think and actually know from past experience. They understand it while the average LSU "fan" here doesn't have the mental capacity to make the connection. They can't see far enough into the future or comprehend the ramifications if not addressed so therefore they get on here and cry about the coach that they don't know why they hate him somebody just told them that O man is bad.

Every head coaches makes that call. That is part of being the head coach.

We're in the CFP top 10 and about to play in a New Years Six bowl game. Are we sort of getting lucky? Maybe. But Jesus, some of you people are unbelievable. When coaches win, they get extensions. When they lose (which Orgeron has yet to do), they get shown the door.

Oh please, Ben. You were asserting an idiotic stance last week that future coaches wouldn't come to LSU if O didn't get an extension now. That's ludicrous.

So basically, you just want to cripple the recruiting program...

Top players are not going to come here with a lame duck coach. If the Admin does not have the backing to keep the contract term extended to a players scholarship term then you pretty much have to fire him and move on. The other option is to accept low level performers because that is what you will be left with.
Not extendind CEOs contract will immediately rise to the top negative recruiting point for our competitors. The second one is The Rant...

How would you classify a coach as “lame duck”?

It’s not a big deal to extend him as long as we keep the buyout low. Having him go all next year with his contract renewal as a question mark would hurt recruiting.

Generally a coach with under 3 yrs left on hi contract and no extension on the table is a lame duck. Those actions say that the coach has a defacto vote of no-confidence from his superiors. That may not apply to small or lower division schools but it certainly does the major ones

Why would it be a question mark next year?

So you agree the extension talk can wait until next year?

See, this right here is why the extension argument is crap. If this is true, then opposing coaches would just point out that a buyout had not been increased and that the extension is just a façade.

Let's be honest. Most of these recruits don't understand contractual complexities.

It makes me sick to my stomach how people are here. I guess the internet brings out the worst in people. It's probably more that they were sorry all along. I will say this, the poliboard has been good to me. I can't post much over there anymore.

Pure drivel.

If the ADs didn't believe the negative recruiting angle wasn't true they wouldn't feel the need to extend. The proof is in black and white on the contract extensions.

So there is absolutely no possibility that our AD is just incompetent?
