There was basically zero experience to work with. I don’t think Saban as DC would have had a good defense early on last year.

He didn't bother to interview Bo Pelini, you dumb mental midget, because Bo Pelini was recruited and hired by Scott Woodward and is not the coach Ed O wanted to hire, and there was nothing he could do about it until he could finally get rid of him as soon as possible and as he did.


Tell us exactly why you believe this. Please make it legitimate, because a head coach not interviewing a coordinator is the dumbest fricking thing I can imagine. And yes, O’s private life is his business, IF HE DIDN’T MAKE IT PUBLIC IN THE MOST CHIlDISH WAYS. He fricked up royally quite a few times in the 2020 off season. That’s not even up for debate.

He was Scott Woodward's guy, recruited and hired by him
Such a hilarious fake rant narrative.

Missouri’s “ Connor Bazelak was a player who quickly garnered attention in 2020 after he upset LSU with a 406-yard, four-touchdown performance against LSU.
What came after that was a bit underwhelming, AS HE THREW FOR ONLY THREE TOUCHDOWN PASSES over the last seven games on Mizzou’s schedule. Accompany that with five interceptions, and that’s not a pretty stat line.”

Ranked as #6 passer coming into 2021.
BUH-BYE Bo


While that is bad, I can top that by pointing out KJ Costello was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse. Threw an SEC record 623 pass yards and 5 TDs. And was so bad after that he was eventually benched.

Pelini. What a train wreck.

Moreover, the reason why Ed O said that will never happen again, is because that was the second time since he has been the head coach at LSU that he was forced to accept a coach as a coordinator that he personally didn't want or care to hire.


So two successive AD’s went out and hired coordinators for Orgeron without his input, advice, or approval. How normal do you think that is, and what does that say about Orgeron?

But NOW he isn’t gonna take it anymore. Ok

To O’s credit, Pelini did fool him during the interview.


There was an interview?

Obviously, Bo Pelini is not the coach Ed O would have hired to be the DC.



Soooo, when he said that the defense was “light years ahead of 2019 defense”, he was just trying to placate Woodward?

Some people are beyond obsessed with hating Ed O and like in this idiot's particular case, his obsession is based on nothing but his own immense stupidity.

I could have done as good a job running last years defense as Bo did and I have zero coaching experience!

It's obvious. Why else would Ed O go out of his way to embarrass himself by admitting he didn't interview Bo Pelini. I mean no one was asking him if he had or had not interviewed anyone. It all came out of the blue.

Meanwhile, why interview a DC that you didn't hire? As Bo Pelini was going to be he DC regardless because he was recruited and hired by Scott Woodward.

I mean normally a head coach would interview the prospective DC candidates he is interested in, decide on the one he wants to hire, than get with the AD to come up with a compensation package and to see if he meets the approval of the AD, then after everything is worked out and approved, the prospective candidate would be hired.

That's not what happened when Bo Pelini was hired. As Scott Woodward recruited Pelini, interviewed him, negotiated the compensation package, and then hired him. Ed O was merely a bystander. Thus, why would he even interview Bo Pelini? Would you have? I mean, it wouldn't have made a difference.

Some of you people are just utterly obsessed with hate and most of the time, it is based on your own wrong impressions and it's like it is personal or something. Damn, you guys are some mean mother frickers.

He was doing coaches talk on a radio show. Apparently, everybody else but you knows that is mostly bullshite. Anyway, Ed O was just assuming the defense would be decent as usual because he had no idea how far Bo Pelini had degenerated. Scott Woodward was very surprised as well. Man, you people are miserable human beings.

Let me ask you a question, you dumb moonbat, have you ever said something you regret? You think Ed O is the only one? Lighten up and get over it. Trust me, It's not the end of the freaking world. Some of you uhinged loons are so utterly obsessed with hate that it boggles the mind.

What about KJ Costello's 623 yards for Miss St vs LSU, which for one week thrust an also-ran QB into the HEISMAN conversation! And never forget Florida's Kyle Trask went off for 474 yards on Pelini, even in a losing effort.

You talk a lot, as if it is all fact, I already asked you to tell us how you know this. I assume this is YOUR theory of how something so fricking idiotic could be done.

Your theory suggests that our head coach has been a “bystander” to at least TWO very important coordinator hires, to TWO consecutive AD’s. Am I correct as to what you are saying?

I want you to think about what you said you believe about this, and then ask yourself if Orgeron should be a head coach and “CEO” of a top football program if he doesn’t get the chance to hire or interview.

Also, you are goddamn right I’m demanding an interview with someone that will work for me. What a stupid arse question.

Like I said, you dumb moonbat, it is obvious. Hey if you don't think it went down the way I laid it out, then let's hear your utterly ridiculous version to how it went down. Go ahead, you dumb moonbat, how did it go down? Fill us in!

As for as Ed O's performance is concerned and as far as I'm concerned after suffering through the Les Miles era, Ed O is irrefutably a 100 percent improvement relative to Les Miles and if you can't see that, then you are beyond unhinged.

I mean, after he took over a badly depleted football team in 2017, just one year later LSU finishes in the final AP poll ranked number six. Then in only his third season as the head coach of LSU, Ed O won a natty with the greatest college football team in history.

Now 2020 wasn't good by any means, but let's be real, LSU lost 20 players to the NFL after the 2019 season, another three returning starters also opted out before the 2020 season, plus there was also a ton of players that hit the transfer portal, Bo Pelini was more or less forced on Ed O, the Covid Pandemic prevented practicing and preparing for the season even though for all intents and purposes, LSU essentially had all brand new freshmen and sophomore starters.

Then to top it off, not only did Myles Brennan get hurt and was out for the season after only the third game of the season, but Terrace Marshall and Arik Gilbert also both opted out. Thus, Ed O was forced to start two brand new true freshmen QBs who barely had any reps to transition from high school ball to the SEC.

Nonetheless, Ed O didn't give up like a lot of other head coaches would have. Instead he came back strong to beat the number six football team in the Swamp and then ended the season by defeating a very good offensive Ole Miss team. Yet, you want to see Ed O fired. You're an idiot of mega proportions.

So when I ask myself if Orgeron should be a head coach and “CEO” of a top football program my answer is well hell freaking yes. Of course, he should be! He is obviously one of the best head football coaches in the freaking country!

However, I'm not blinded by blind hatred based on erroneous assumptions the same way you are. Indeed, you are utterly unhinged and so full of it, it isn't even funny. In fact, what you hate Ed O for is not even true and furthermore, even if it was true it wouldn't matter, in any event. Indeed, you are a mega idiot and a sick mother fricker.

Yeah right, you want the best by far head coach LSU has ever had since Nick Saban fired exactly because he didn't interview someone he didn't even hire. Check yourself into a mental ward because you are beyond unhinged. What a idiot!

So you are the only person in the history of the world who never said something they wish they could take back?

Meanwhile, is a little misstatement worth firing one of the best head coaches in America over? Are you that utterly unhinged? Seek mental help because you have some very sever anger issues.

What's wrong? I flunked mind reading 101. And then go ahead and fill us in on your perspective.

Indeed, give us your justification for why one of the best head football coaches in college football, who won a natty less that two years ago, needs to be fired. Go ahead, don't hold back. Let it all hang out.
