He looked like he had some plastic surgery.

This is truly just tin foil hat speculation. Only getting a one year contract seemed odd. Feel like LSU brought him back in just to get some good insurance for a year or two just until he could just on Medicare.

Has noticeable edema in his lower legs/ankle areas. Looks like he may have CHF, with that rapid weight gain...


I said this on Monday, 8/10. Got downvoted to hell. Hell, Ray Charles could tell he wasn't healthy from that pic...

Coach O battled with cocaine and alcohol in his younger years a lot. He relapsed a bit on booze post 2019 and divorce, but I'm sure he's fine on that front now.

On top of that, he literally puts a pinch of Folgers coffee grinds in his lip in the morning like dip and slams red bulls all day.

His ticker should be monitored very closely.

People are very protective of him. You’re not talking negatively in saying he just doesn’t look healthy at times. I’m sure the same could be said about me.

Retired doc here. Watched film from last week of Coach O at practice. He was walking around very gingerly, looking like he was favoring his right hip.
Hopefully, it’s some arthritis and a little dehydration and hopefully we’ll see him back soon.

agree. That’s why I thought the way Mike said it was so weird. Nobody else seems ready to report it. I don’t think he was being insensitive, but it certainly could have been taken that way. Should have either expanded on it or not mentioned it at all.
could be something that they are aware of and have a treatment type plan for so not a big deal. O did look pretty bad in some of the videos I saw of him at camp.

those pictures that we’re going around from earlier in camp and he looked extremely unhealthy.


he looked like he snorted an 8ball in each nostril after snorting 4 red bulls.


i know i'm in the vast minority, i didn't want him around this team wrecking shite. if he can behave, sure, recruit and help the DL. but he had ulterior motives when he was brought in last time, and huge egos will always have motives. hope he's well, hope he's committed to helping CLK.

Any cardiovascular issue is a big deal. It is not like he has the flu or something. He works out a lot but he always did have unhealthy habits such as drinking Red Bull like it was water.

I heard he had a pice of polish sausage stuck in his heart.

He was walking slowly with a limp one day. Not sure what's going on.

Forced to go to anger management and sensitivity training after his outburst on the practice field.

That’s what I was kind of thinking. Hip or back problems. Maybe he had to have hip replacement surgery.

Maybe, but I shook his hand a few days ago and I think it was quite the opposite. He honestly looked the way I do after donating a few bags of blood.

If the dude is on TRT, I'm wondering if he may have had to donate A LOT to get his levels down.

Looks like he's out of the hospital.

I was there with my grandmother as they rushed him through, figured it was an over reaction, maybe not.
