Coach O is a genius for getting JOE BURROW from Ohio State.

He surrounds himself with great coaches, great recruiters and old school knowledge (Robinson from USC). He's on a roll..... He's ours..... He loves LSU! Love that dude.

Getting the two Joes at LSU has definitely changed things dramatically for the program.

How is he Lucky again? He spotted the talent and went out and got him.

Quit being a moron.

Lucky that he was available, but no luck involved in getting him here. That's just a hell of a recruiting job by Orgeron and Ensminger. Having Busch on staff was also a very fortunate turn of events.

So he's a genius for checking the transfer portal?

LSU was the only top 15 school with a wide open qb race when Burrow was looking to transfer.

so did miles. means nothing. we want hardware now. this is a business. not flag football.

and you are far too emotionally attached already like fans became with miles.

this will severely blur your vision later when needing to do performance checks and constructively criticize. miles people ignored all performance. until it affected record. i agree he just may have saved his arse with brady and JR was a good guy to bring on.

this whole season rides on brady. which is why i always say

brady or bust!
E was not doing anything without Joe.

Burrow was a complete unknown. Yes, it worked out but don’t pretend that it was a slam dunk, talent based decision. Also, Burrow was looking to transfer. It’s not like O went up to OSU and stole him away.

Give credit to O for being able to reel him in but don’t pretend that O spotted a diamond in the rough and knew that Burrow had this type of ceiling.

Edit - brain fart

I’m definitely in the Pro O camp, but there is definitely some luck involved with Burrow. Even O admits he didn’t know Burrow would be this good, that they were kind of desperate.

Like the other poster said, hiring Brady was the genius move.

Our biggest comp for Burrow was ... Cincinnati.

Come on

Just be glad he’s here. It sounded like Busch and Ensminger were the ones who really got him on board.

Cole Tracy is the best example of this. Knew he didn't have FG kicker on the team and found the best available from a school 99% of the fans had never heard of.

THAT was great coaching. (not taking anything away from Burrow but he was a bit of an unknown).

Pulling a player away from his home to come all the way down to Baton Rouge to play QB at a school known for having a bad offense is nothing to take lightly.

There is a large contingent of our fanbase that will not give O credit for it. I call them the “shite against the wall” contingent, because that’s what they attribute our success to thus far.


The interesting thing is, if we started losing, he would get 100% of the blame. Not Brady, not Aranda, not Burrow or any of the players. It would be 100% on Coach O.

And O could have turned it over to Brennan this year and decided not to go to the portal at all. I mean, Brennan was next man up.

And when you are asked for proof of this, you will disappear just like every other thread when asked to back up your claims.

Almost as if he's the HC and is current;y getting the credit for all the stuff he's done right so far. What a crazy idea.

I'd like these guys to breakdown the % of plays that Brady calls in a game. These guys on here act like Steve is scrolling Facebook during the game while Brady runs the offense. The reality is that these guys know absolutely nothing about what's going into running this offense, and who is behind it. I'll admit I don't know. But, E is getting totally disrespected when it is highly likely that he is a very important piece in making this offense tick.

You are Exhibit A. This thread is Exhibit 1000.

Why is it so hard to give O credit for going and getting Burrow? Sure, nobody knew he was this good. But you damn sure would rather find out with him HERE than at Cincinnati.

Give him credit. It’s okay. It’s not so hard.
