Has any program ever handled a coaching transition as poorly as LSU did with Orgeron?

I am truly curious about this.
It all started two years ago with the leaks about Miles being fired after LSU crashed and burned its No.2 national ranking at Alabama. While Miles twisted in the wind and the media ripped LSU for treating him poorly, LSU follows it up with the fiasco after the Texas A&M game where Miles is unfired only to be retained until four games into the 2016 season. LSU had already fricked up its chance to hire Jimbo the year before, if it would have happened at all, and proceeded to conduct the worst "non-search" for a football coach a supposed major program could possibly put forth.
Is it any wonder the program is now shite?

No elite program. Michigan had issues but it wasn't a clown show like ours.

Many programs have had equally bad transitions. Look at some of alabama's fiascos. Didn't they have like 3 coaches in a very short period? Notre Dame. Michigan. Crap happens. It's not only LSU. One college fired their coach, hired him back, then fired him again.

I'm not talking about hiring a failure as the coach. Lots of school have done that. I'm talking about the long, slow, drawn-out frick up that it was. The one that ended with basically no search for a new coach.

Not only the hiring of O, but the projected firing of Miles in 2015 and then saying he would be back five minutes following the game against aTm in 2015.

Probably one of the worst that I have ever seen.

In just 5 games as LSU head coach, coach O destroyed the non-conference winning streak we were so close to breaking the record of.
It’s impressive.

Miles was twisting in the wind and it was bullshite. He didn't deserve it. He should have been straight up fired like any of us would have been.
And remember when the news of Herman to LSU broke and Mark May absolutely verbally flogged LSU on the air for entertaining Herman and not making the immediate move to hire Orgeron? And people think it's ridiculous when we say ESPN hates LSU...

November of 2015 was a knee reaction and then after we were turned away by the future Texas coach it was a knee jerk reaction to hire Orgeron- but we only had months to make a decision. Truly idiots.

Unfortunately O seems to by our Dooley/Hoke/Kiffin/Strong. We need to fire Alleva so we hire a Herman/Harbaugh next and not a Jones/Sark

“ lots of schools have done that”
Perhaps you can enlighten me as to who all these lots of schools are who have hired a coach with a 3-21 conference record on his resume.

Sorry, I meant to say lots of schools have hired a coach who then turned out to be a failure. I did not mean to say lots of Orgerons have been hired. LSU is unique in that regard, no question.

OK, I can agree with that.
The problem for LSU is that they fired a coach who was still producing nationally teams and opt to replace him with a coach who had never even produced a winning team. If that’s not a recipe for disaster, then I don’t know what is.
