Inside LSU football is another waste of time. I would love it if they ditched the callin show and put those resources toward a real replay show with coaches commentary. Most major programs did this back in the day.

I remember Cholly Mac had a replay show on TV every Sunday in the early 70s where he would comment on each play as it was replayed. It was great because back then the games were rarely televised. Mac’s favorite expression was always “ I gotta give credit where credit is due....”.

That guy "The Evil Twin" makes the whole show sound retarded.

Went to the the Florida game in Gainsville in 2004, Zook's last year and he was already on the hot seat. Late 4th quarter, Florida is up with control of the ball, positioned to put the game away... but everyone in that stadium knew what was going to happen. Listened to the Florida call-in show on the drive back to Jacksonville. Was the most entertaining and satisfying radio show of my life.

When was the last time a coach actually gave a real answer other than coach speak??

Silly questions
No real answers
Lots of “one game at a time. Play all 4 quarters. Get the ball to our playmakers. Do a better job of tackling, taking care of the football, stay disciplined, etc...

I called in and asked about Hilliard in '14 the week after he got injured. Les said he was "day to day" or something like that. Turned out he was out for the season with a shoulder injury.

Never tried again because I didn't expect a straight answer. Hardly even listen anymore.

I can't stand to listen to it, so I don't. People like the evil twin etc have made the show into a clusterfrick of retards it seems. He is an idiot and ruins the show for others who want real talk from O and not some sideshow antic to get attention at TJ ribs. I just don't listen to it anymore...mainly bc of the type of people that call in and ask dumb questions. That show could be much better than it is if they would simply screen the call ins for good content and shut the idiots like evil twin down. Then, I would listen to the show again.


This.

I really wish it wasn't filled to the brim with retards (both callers and audience) because I would love a solid show with good questions and answers. I refuse to sit there and listen to Mary from Raceland ask if Coach O is impressed with Joe Burrow followed by Evil Twin trying to make some horrible fricking joke about gumbo and Coach O being a cajun. It's the same stupid shite every week.

frick all those idiots. They need the scrap the current format and start over.

I had never heard of that site, but after visiting that horrible, 1990s piece of shite website, I'm not surprised a Coach O Show regular frequents that place.

The losing team's postgame call-in show is the best. Everyone vents on the internet, but only the saltiest of the salty dial the phone and wait forever on hold for their chance to spew venom.

I don't recall the call screening being as obvious during the Saban years, or even early on during Miles' tenure. They used to let a handful of angry callers get through. Now it's ridiculous. All that gets through to Orgeron are softballs. Coaches shouldn't be subjected to abuse from drunk assholes, but they should be required to answer difficult questions if presented in a respectful manner.

Personally think it's comedy gold, in a "wtf has happened to society" kind of way.

Every coach's show at every school is like this. Why do you bother to listen? You won't ever learn anything except how bold some of the dumbest fans can be.

I thought the callers were phenomenal. We have the best host and producers and they had a great plan. I trust them. We were focused for 60 minutes. Tremendous job. Geaux Tigers
