re: Clay Travis predicted LSU's top 3 candidates if a change is made this year

I’d take Lane and Petrino over O.

You don’t see that happening? Lol take a look at the upcoming schedule, then you should be able to see that happening

No doubt - O keeps his job at 6 - 6. LSU cannot afford to keep paying millions upon millions to former coaches that Alleva either never should have hired or given powerball extensions.
Alleva needs to go immediately then let a new AD figure it out

Alleva has already made it clear that the goal is to be competitive NOT to win championships.

What message does that send to other coaches that you are trying to attract here?

This is such a stupid fricking argument.

No decent self respecting successful coach would put themselves in the same boat as a career DL coach and abject failure in his one shot as HC like Orgeron. Period.

Everyone in the country knows the deal. We gave a hometown clown a shot as his “dream job” because he was “one of us” as a discount experiment while the Miles buyout tied our hands. He was hired to recruit and let coordinators do the real coaching. If the experiment worked great, if not we move on to a real coach once the buyout situation became more manageable.

Of course, our dumb frick AD ruined that by paying competitive salary for a guy that no one was competing for, but the fact that O was always a trial that could be cut loose at any moment has always been understood.


Guys like Gundy, Kiffin, Fleck, Fuentes would never lower themselves to O’s level by thinking what happened to him could happen to them because they are talented and successful head coaches not career cheerleaders that are also talented salesmen to dumbass ADs prone to temper tantrums that drive their hiring decisions.

When the LSU job opens up again, there will be plenty of interest, and honestly the sooner it happens the more interest there will be because it will minimize the damage O can do.

Enough of this already...He isn't going anywhere!! If we have a losing season possibly...but anything shy of that and He will be here next year...

18 straight seasons with 8+ wins. If he fricks that streak up in year two it will take a SECCG appearance, minimum, to stick around

He broke another 18 year streak on his 4th try. Last non conference home loss was in 2000 to UAB. Potato got past Southern Miss, Chattanooga, and Syracuse before squandering that to Troy. And 15 years since we've had a recruiting class ranked below 14. Orgeron reset that in his first full cycle. The 8 win thing is on extremely thin ice.

I don't see how everyone doesn't realize he's going to set LSU football back for a long long time.

It's like some of you are hoping LSU has a bad year just because you want a new coach when Orgeron has not done a bad job at all. LSU is not going to fire Orgeron because a handfull of malcontents on Tiger Droppings are unhappy. That is laughable.

---

stop pretending like you know what people want and don't want.

no one, and I mean no one, has actually said on tigerdroppings "I hope LSU goes 3-9 in 2018 so the BOD can fire alleva and fire Orgeron."

if you can find me that quote, I will venmo you $100.00, no questions asked.

“Leave my coach O alone!”

—-
Nobody wants LSU football to fall on its face this year. Everyone here would love O to take this team undefeated and win a NC. That said, those that aren’t blinded by their fandom recognize that O is a shite HC and that isn’t likely to happen.

This whole, “they just want LSU to fail so they can be right and get rid of coach o!” argument is pathetic.

Keep in mind that we have a governor who has publicly come out and said that he doesn't want LSU to pay for a top tier coach.
