How hard would it have been for O to simply say that instead?

Seems like the obvious choice in that situation. But what do I know

Because O knew the fans would equate that to his failure. So he wanted the kid to take the heat. And it worked. Congrats O.

Why say that? Let’s keep it real if he did say he is opting out because his body is hurting. Well wtf is that shite I have never heard of a football player saying he is not going to play in the super bowl because his fricking body is hurting. I mean wtf dude really!!!

How hard would it have been for the chicken littles here and in the BR media to just accept that answer and not crucify the kid?

If you ranters haven't learned by now, Coach Oeaux will ALWAYS , ALWAYS DEFLECT AND put the blame on someone else. His canned statement of "It's all on me" is nothingmore than a filler.

You can opt out over Covid ONLY. Every other reason is quitting.

Does Orgeron strike you as someone who is measured and deliberate in his interactions with media?

The bigger question is where is the SID keeping this under wraps?

It’s odd that everyone is hung up on that comment.

The home sick reports were already out - which makes him sound like an even bigger cry baby.

True but he is known for being too transparent and honest at times when he'd be better off going full Belichick bc people analyze everything and a lot of the times weaponize his words.

You shouldn’t attack the kid till you know the real reason for the opt out . Let the kid get though this instead of crucifying him . Just saying ....

O was going to take heat regardless of the reason he gave, and rightfully so. I think in his mind saying his body was hurt or whatever sounded better. Homesick, personal reasons, whatever...none of it makes Orgeron or Gilbert look good
