That was the right call. A 3 point lead with 2 minutes left, ND had 1 timeout and Dave Aranda was standing on the sideline.

Georgia beat ND by one point by kicking a FG with over 3 minutes left. One point lead against a team with a FG kicker who made 46 and 49 yard FG's against LSU. They could have gone for a TD but didn't.

So after two mediocre seasons, Ed Orgeron should be fired rt?

He just had one.

So at LSU just winning 10 games a season and heading off to some .com bowl year in and out is the standard?

Perhaps you're right..or they both looked good in practice and sucked during the games? Remember the kid that missed all those fg's in 2011 at Bama?

It wasn’t the right call, your blind loyalty to O keeps you from understanding situational differences to wit:

Georgia was LOSING, they were down by 2. In that situation you take the FG and the lead. A TD puts them up by 5, which means a ND TD still beats them. Also if they go and miss they likely lose the game. The situations are totally different. Comparing them because the opponent was the same is idiotic. It’s hard for you to understand because to you every thing is about defending or hating O.

ETA: Also UGA was at the 12 yard line . That’s A LOT different than the 1 foot line.

said again O was a lazy hire.


Lazy is not the right word. It was a panic hire. JA had put all his efforts on getting Herman or Jimbo. When he got okie-doked he made a quick offer to O to make it look like O was his guy from the get go.

The sad part is that it was immediately transperant what had happen anyway. He would have been better off starting the search from scratch and expanding the search pool.

One thing that is clear is that he has to go BEFORE any change is made with O.

Depends on the circumstances. With the schedule LSU had last year it should have been a 10-2 regular season

You also don't know the alternative is a slow multi-year decline. You have absolutely no clue.

What's worse is the hypothetical next hire could be the worst ever at LSU. What if LSU had hired Jimbo and he tanked at LSU like he did with the 2nd most talented team in his conference and had a losing record?

Would you be happy with that just because Eaux wasn't the coach?

It is also shocking that those fans choose to ignore the multiple levels of incompetency and host of issues that have transpired since he was hired as the full-time head coach


What are some of these? Should I be concerned?

That is the part I enjoy the most. Idiots pull shite out of thin air, state is as fact and then go into full melt over shite they just made up.

Absolutely, the best thing about this board.

This is what is retarded about your logic. Notre
Dame has arguably the best kicker in the nation. He made field goals of 46 and 49 yards just in the LSU game. Giving up a FG does not lose the game if you are up by 5. A FG is a loss if you are only up by one.

Totally different than LSU's scenario.

How many plays did they run from the 12 yard line? How many yards did they get on those multiple plays?

LSU made the right call.

That would have been pretty stupid. Everybody knew he had offered Jimbo and Herman. Well anybody who was not off-grid for a long period of time. Eaux has even stated in multiple interviews that he knew LSU wanted Jimbo and when that fell through he was informed by players that TV was scrolling the news of Hotlips being hired.

But now JA was trying to hide the fact in your mind. Okay dude, good story.

Could have been worse. He could have actually hired Jimbo Fisher - the guy with the second most talented team in his conference - who had a losing record at 5-6 and went just 3-5 in conference.
