Has absolutely nothing to do with running the organization for as interim.
I don't think anyone denies that the coach did a good job as an interim coach.
But running a program year in and year out requires a different skill set than running a program for a few games.

Your post history is impressive. Not one post that requires a reading comprehension level above the third grade. You should probably cool it with the loser talk.

Interested to know how many season ticket holders still think Coach O is crushing it after receiving their 50% TF increase today ??

Well the facts are he was relatively successful handling that program for a time, wouldn't you agree?
Well, the facts are that he finished his interim stint at USC with a 6-2 record. It's also a fact that he had a really good win over Stanford, who was ranked #5 in the nation at the time the game was played, and who finished the 2013 season 11-3 and ranked #11 in the final poll.
It's also a fact that he lost to the only other two teams who finished the season ranked, with one being a blowout. 14-10 to 20th ranked Notre Dame and 35-14 to 16th ranked UCLA.
It's also a fact that he beat an 8-5 Arizona team, a 7-6 Oregon State team, a 5-7 Utah team, a 4-8 Colorado team and a 1-11 Cal team. It's a fact that he didn't get hired full time and left the team before their bowl game.
As far as that being "fairly successful", that's subjective my friend. But you're certainly within your rights to claim such a thing.

Cam was always going to be fired after the season. O was given the decision to keep him until the end of the season or fire him then.

Not on a permanent basis until o was hired. Someone needed to be a dline coach. He had been completely out of football for 4 seasons.

Didn’t he have another one late in the 2017 season, maybe before the bowl game? There was someone else with a similar style
I've always thought that Kedwards1, Ozone1, dawgfan128 pensacolatiger, tigerinevergreen and now, Earlpearl were one in the same.
Kedwards1 showed up on July 14th of '17 and disappeared on August 8th. Then Ozone1 showed upon August 21st and disappeared on August 30th. Dawgfan showed up on September 6th and disappeared on October 7th, 2017.
After that, pensacolatiger and tigerinevergreen were around throughout 2018 before both of those posters disappeared, and now we have Earlpearl gracing us with his/her presence.
But each and everyone of those posters were eerily similar to one another.

I was just trying to get a clarification. The upvotes are clear in that they point out that most people think that he's closer to crushing it than anything else. So I have to assume that he meant that 140 people are stupid.
The fact that about 90% of your posts receive 0 upvotes and 15-20 downvotes carries weight on this board now?
I mean, just to be clear since the upvote/downvote system is now some gauge of correctness.

I dunno about that brother. How about he wins a championship and then we'll talk? You don't think that's fair? A championship almost certainly would do the trick.
This guy is on to something......

Almost like having two defensive linemen transfer when defensive line is the thinnest position on the roster is a bad thing.......
ETA: I know that looking to the future is a "negatiger" trait, but LSU is in a bit of a situation heading into 2020.
Yes, you can bookmark this post and sharpie it in as a prediction. I am saying LSU will go 9-3 in the 2019 football season even though they are more talented than all but 1 team on the schedule.

I simply consider who is doing the downvoting in this instance. We both know that it's trash like you. It's the same demographic that has 140 downvotes in this thread.

So tell me how he's failed thus far in his tenure?
Okay, he made a bad mistake hiring Canada. DIdn't Miles have a misstep with the "Malveto" defensive coordinator decision?
It seems to me that there are signs that O has turned the corner.
Honestly, I don’t know how this thread keeps turning into using Orgeron as a piñata. Just let it play out. The program hasn't taken a step back from the end of Miles' tenure. Contrast LSU to what happened at UF after Meyer, UT after Brown, USC after Carroll or the Vols after Fulmer, to mention a few.
This is Orgeron's program now. He is no longer maintaining what Miles left him.

Oh yeah, the 2017 season was a step forward.

That's a pretty amazing talent you have ben.
ETA: I also love how having a different opinion than you makes people trash.

Ouch, Ben. If I was voting it would be a downvote simply due to the title alone since it's inaccurate which we've already discussed. I didn't realize you thought I was trash and I thought we were better than that. Tsk two.
I kid. I kid. I don't think my joke is working. Please, please forgive.

No one was even saying that he was a failure. Hell, it wasn't even a conversation about his time at LSU until you just brought it up. The conversation was about whether or not an interim stint for less than a year qualifies as running a successful program.

You're the one that's bringing this up again. No one was doing that in the post you replied to.

Of course and from what I can tell the overwhelming majority of the people in this thread are expecting at least a 10 win regular season. We all agree that if E trusts his players more this season along with the addition of Brady that this team could be really special.

Well he certainly hasn't been successful. Success means beating Bama and playing for a championship, either SEC or National.
