re: Guys we’re fine: Burrow will play balls out/ Brenna will eat and we will win 9-10

I think if o trotted out the spring qbs we would be sub 500.

9 doesn’t do anything. It’s stagnent.

11 would make me happy

I'm SO ready for the games to start Red. This shite is killing me! Everyone freaks out over everything.

I couldn't care less who the coach is as long as they win and the offense isn't run like an elementary school offense.

Well you should care who the coach is. If you want a coach who wins, you should expect your AD to actually hire a guy with a proven record or at least is a highly-regarded tactician. O is neither of those.

Alleva is not stupid but he is a liar. There is no way a competent AD would hire O with any reasonable expectation that he could maintain a championship-caliber program, you know, like LSU was not too long ago. Alleva cheaped out and decided it was a better business decision to coast through mediocrity as long as Saban was at Alabama. He hired O because he viewed him as a colorful, local personality that would endear himself to a certain ignorant and/or corrupt segment of the fan base. He could force an underperforming, out-of-his-league coach on the fan base and slowly ride the brand excellence into the ground. He gets to stretch that out for a few years then leave with a seven-figure golden parachute. He and O then laugh at the rest of us while we get to relive the early nineties for five to ten years.

So, you should care who is coaching the team. It is not reasonable to expect a coach in his late fifties who (1) has never won other than as a position coach and (2) literally no decent team was considering as a coach, to take you to a championship. It is much more reasonable to assume this team will be lucky to win 7 games this year. I hope that is not the case, but all we literally have is a hope that Aranda's defense will be so dominant and we'll somehow have elite QB play this year to win games that we are not favored now to win.

And no, it's not a good thing that the experts are picking us to win 6 or 7 games this year. We aren't "sleeping" on anyone. We are a program in decline. That decline is happening because of O and Alleva.

Gaining weight will NOT have any impact on Brennan's actual ability at QB. It's not like he's ready to start but the coaches are holding him back because of weight.

Jeez, I've never seen such an obession (and a misplaced one, at that).

How did this become a rebuild? If we knew it was a rebuild then, why would anyone consider O to be the guy to rebuild a program?

---

Why would anyone NOT consider Orgeron for rebuilding a program. He has flat out killed it in overhauling this roster processing the dead weight with contributors.


HOLD THAT TIGER!

Well, considering he was handed a team that was preseason top 5 and a team that was in the top 5 in the previous season that would have won ten games if not for a cancelled game, it wasn't a rebuild to begin with. Miles' last 4 losses vs OM, Arky, Wisconsin and Auburn weren't talent related. It was never a rebuild.

 least we know burrow is gonna be the man. The McMillan starting talk appears done. Thank god.

And when he goes down and we are down to 1 scholarship QB back up?

So you like our chances with the third string QB?

It’s like everyone is waiting/looking for a reason to bitch. Go make your workplaces awesome then show up on saturday and cheer for your team. Very few on this board have lives that are really enhanced by the success of a football team. (There are a few though)
