Ed O publicly criticized and embarrassed one of his players....classless act on his part.

He should not have said that, especially if Giles is still on the team. I’ve heard reports that he won’t be after the spring semester.

Have no problem with him saying this. Giles was awful, Ed O made a poor decision and he’s owning it. Let’s not be snowflakes about that little comment

I would guess Giles is leaving. Doubt O would have said that if he wasnt out the door

Shrimp boat Captain has a lot of balls calling his player out like that publicly. Giles had a tough year, no doubt, again these are 18-22 yr old kids, what a shitty thing for the Shrimp boat Captain to do. Yet, I’m not surprised O is this stupid.

This board amazes me.



Every single person here was shitting on Giles last season, and rightfully so. He was a non factor at best and definitely not worthy of wearing the covenanted #7 jersey.


CEO agrees and now he's bad for doing that....


Some people need tough love, if that breaks Giles then maybe high level football isn't for him

Giles single handedly cost us games last year. He needs to not be so sensetive and get netter. He was terrible.

Isn't he saying he made the wrong choice in the tweet? Seems like he is saying he made a mistake. He didn't say Giles sucks. He said Delpit is a better choice.

Michael Jordan is a better #23 than LeBron doesn't mean LeBron sucks.

What kind of defense is that? There are lots of true things about each one of us that should not be proclaimed in public. Can you think of any truths about yourself that you would not want publicized? It was thoughtless and rude. It hurt the team, because it is divisive. I’m sure Orgeron would love to take that back.

frick some of y’all. Telling it like it is isn’t throwing someone under the bus. Coach O gave Giles EVERY opportunity to succeed, he started him at WR, and kept him in on returns when he clearly wasn’t up to LSU foosball standards at either. Tell THAT like it is, Giles. He gave you your chance on a silver platter, and you did not perform. Looking at game tape of how he played should be the gut shot.

If Saban was our coach and said the same thing it's a non story. People sure hate the truth these days. Snow flakes everywhere.

Giles needs to grow a set. He was simply the worst performing player on LDUs team last year. He basically gave away the game to aTm...or was it Florida?....or was it both, lol

He muffed that punt, without that we unquestionably win, period.

Undersized, slower than others, and cannot judge a punt to sace his life.

That being said, Coach O shouldnt have said that

Bull fricking shite. He threw the kid under the bus and you know it. It’s not that big of a deal, because Giles did indeed suck big donkey balls last year. But to pretend like O’s comment wasn’t a jab is just willful ignorance. He shouldn’t have said it.

Sure it was a shot at Giles. Who cares??? You never had a coach tell you or someone else you played terrible? I guess everyone got a trophy in your league. These kids need to toughen up. It's not like he called his momma a ho. It's like everything has to be rainbows and sunshine for you folks.

You can read it either way, honestly, but he's been publicly critical of players before and he is really bad at phrasing quite often (maybe that is just my perception).

It also somewhat ironic that he's assuming he made a better decision before the season starts. While I assume that Delpit will have another stellar year, we really don't know until the season plays out. Before last season almost everyone expected Giles to light it up. What it comes down to is that other than the announcement of who was #7 the rest didn't need to be said.

A lot of people seem to hate Giles but love Dillon on this board even though dillon was actually worse than Giles statistically. Hopefully this ends up being motivation for Giles to live up to the hype.

Coach O is a dumbass who continually looks to throw his players under the bus. The only thing he’s good at is recruiting, and he’s gonna screw that up if he keeps throwing his players under the bus

While it’s not wrong hindsight, doesn’t mean you should say this in the media. This is the second time that O has made a mistake by saying what he feels.



I don't think it's a mistake.

LSU is going to have to have attrition this offseason. Orgeron wants Giles to transfer.
