re: Does not wanting CEO as the head coach make me a bad LSU fan?

You don't think LSU can do better than a position coach they picked up off the street a couple of years ago?

You make it sound like Coach O is a grad assistant or some High School coach they grabbed. He's been a coach and recruiter for a long long time. Had one bad stint as a head coach, but bounced back and put together a nice run in the interim at USC. Right now he is saying the right things, appears to have learned from past mistakes at Ole Miss, and there has been a noticeable improvement to our team.

Look, a head coach needs to be a manager, leader, and the face of our program. However, he's only as good as the guys around him. If he can recruit top talent (proven) and get quality coaches (See Pete Jenkins) then I don't know that LSU needs a big name X's & O's type coach.

So no, I'm not being subjective in my thought that Coach O can be a great fit for our program.

He resigned from SC on December 2nd, 2013. He joined LSU on January 14th, 2015.

I'll let you do the math.

He had an emotional ride at USC, was offered to be retained on the coaching staff, but felt too devastated to stick around after he wasn't hired as the head coach.

The man then sits out a year for any number of reasons, probably trying to do a little soul searching, and you think that LSU simply scooped him up one year later off the street like he was some recently fired dip shite?

quote:

Yet no one picked him up

Do you actually know that no one provided him any other offers?

quote:

---

Yet no one picked him up as a position coach or otherwise until LSU called him a year and a half later.

---

He had a number of offers after leaving USC and decided to sit out a year, regroup and watch the twins play high school ball together.

No but wait till you see how we handle The next five games. If we win Every game , but lose to Bama in a 41-45 shoot out then I think he has a chance. If we lose two games I say we go another route.

That's an understatement.

Perhaps, but do you not 1) Think he can learn from his mistakes and 2) Not see a marked change in his coaching philosophy?

At our rival no less.

Irrelevant

Where he lost two his two biggest rivals.

You are being the literal definition of subjective.

I'm not being emotional. There is no rah-rah in my previous post. I think he's got a very nice track record in many aspects of his career. He's shown the ability to improve and knows how to be a leader.

I'll admit that I don't know that he's necessarily a long term solution. It'll be interesting to see how things go once the emotion wears off.

1. Tom Herman...if he will not take our job, then

2. Jimbo Fisher

It just makes you tone deaf. He's going to be the coach. He's already won the job if you listen to what the pundits are saying. He's the Cajun Pete Carroll. It's set in stone so get used to it.

You people are fools I swear. Orgeron has LSU playing better than they have in years and y'all are stuck on some guy you really don't know a whole lot about other than he's the hot new name that has Houston playing well. Has Houston been playing well the last two weeks?? shite, they lost to Navy. Lol. Be careful what you ask for when you already have a good coach who is also a helluva recruiter in the safe house.
