Running through coordinators every season isn't a recipe for success when your hit rate is about 15%.

No one who seriously follows the program thinks O should be fired after this year (not as a result of a title IX or sexual misconduct).

He has made LSU a program for quitters. Screw that. Woodward do your job.


no. Let him be implicated in the Title IX investigation, and fire him without buying him out.

I agree with the latter, but he's earned the right to try and fix it. He just needs to ride or die with Pelini


He doesn’t have a choice here. LSU is strapped and can’t afford the buyout. Don't be shocked when you see the same staff next season.

Unless they can get out of the contract with cause, Orgeron isn't going anywhere.

So your next option is to see if he can fix it. Problem there is you literally can't let him fire Pelini, and for a multitude of reasons. If he's fired, and the next hire fails, you are eating Orgeron, Pelini, a new OC and new DC in contracts. Not to mention position coaches.

I get what you're saying, but at some point you have to weigh sunk costs vs opportunity costs. Without knowing the actual numbers, it's hard to determine which route is better.

But I really don't think Pelini coming back is an option at this point. I can't imagine their relationship is salvageable. If Orgeron isn't going to be allowed to hire a new DC (and I agree with you that he really shouldn't be allowed to do so), then they need to promote Raymond or Busch and back fill a position coach position.

I think Orgeron with Pelini as DC is like 4th on my preference list behind cutting bait altogether and either letting him hire a new DC or promoting a new DC.

This is the only option I see. Bringing in another Orgeron hire isn't an option. Promote Raymond and let him fill the DB position.

ETA: Only option I see other than keeping Pelini.

Seriously?

Let's see what the roster looks like in January.

If there's more attrition, and the recruiting class slides outside the top 10, I don't think it matters what's done next year. Orgeron will be a dead man walking.

I was the king of O negatives. But I'm willing to give him a mulligan for 2020. He earned it last year, and not having a proper offseason put us at an unfair disadvantage.

Stop with this shite. LSU was at no more of a disadvantage than anyone else.

They got embarrassed by a team with a new coaching staff, entirely new offense and a new QB in the first game of the season.

Fire a coach after arguably the best season in college football history. That’s how you get great coaches to come. Lol


Pretty much everyone knows that last season had very little to do with Os HC ability. The stars aligned and he caught lightning in a bottle at the same time. He is the epitome of Chizik and Coker 2.0.

I know you'll duck this question again, but here you go anyway:

Who's the better DC? Aranda or Pelini?

I don't expect to find the defensive version of Joe Brady but that's the mindset we should have.


It should be the mindset with every hire. When Brady left, go look for the next Brady that is sitting on an NFL staff in some assistant role that knows an offense like Chiefs or Rams or back to the Saints. You know they replaced Brady somewhere. Don't hire a DC and pay him a max contract when noone else wanted him.

Fans like you said a moron could win 10 games a year at LSU. Les Miles was y'all's favorite example.

just like CLM, we will know 3 games into next season where O is headed, he has proved he is not the ceo so now can he just be a coach. Being a recruiter does not mean that you are head coach material.

We already know he can't do that. He's said as much himself over the years.

In 2017, he had no idea why Brossette got the opening handoff against Troy that was fumbled.

Last week, he had no idea why Stingley wasn't on Smith the first half.

This is the head fricking coach of the team having no understanding of his team's gameplan. Those are things he's actually said in interviews. That's not me reading into anything.
