How many of you were won over by O yesterday?

---

Never had any animosity towards O. I hope Alleva gets lucky with this hire. But it was a very risky hire, for reasons that have already been discussed to death.

That said, I hope O and LSU go undefeated. I would love that kind of redemption story for him. And he HAS successfully addressed glaring weaknesses in special teams from last year (kicking game). That’s easier said than done, and it looks like he got it done.

I didn’t even bother reading this thread earlier but the last few pages have been pure gold. All the usual suspects doing mental gymnastics and splitting hairs about how they’re not technically wrong after the constant shite talking all summer. Keep on fightin the good fight.

Im just noticing these "call out" posts. When having concern about the progression of the offense was actually reasonable.

And still is...

I’ve been an O supporter from day 1. Sure I had and still have doubts that he can be as successful as I want a coach to be at LSU. With the conference we play in and against the talent we face every week is wanting to compete for titles every year realistic? Alabama is ridiculous with what Saban has built. I do think O is making the right moves to make us competitive but fans need to be realistic. The 3-0 start has been amazing especially when considering we have a new qb, new OC, new rb’s and new offense. We still have 9 games to go and Bama and Georgia look great. A&M and State look pretty good so these next 9 games will be tough. I will be watching how we improve and play in those games more than what record we have. The optimist in me thinks 11-1 is possible but the realist thinks 9-3 is possible AND we could still be a great team with that record depending on how competitive we are. My point is I don’t see why any O haters would joe won over yet.

Why do you be more specific instead of speaking in generalities?

What specific criticism of mine did you find particularly egregious that has been thoroughly and completely disproven?

I don't specifically remember details about your posts from 5 months ago, the only thing that stands out to me regarding you is your cheesy schtick you have when you comment on anything positive with "well then we should win ______(10/11/12) games then no excuses!!!!1". And then continue to disparage said positive news.


Again, all offseason there were arguments surrounding this team and expectations not specifically related to any games last season.

2 specific instances come to mind

Peter Burns was on campus around spring practice saying positive things that he saw at practice, and there was a long thread here with the same cast of characters contending that what he saw could not be true

#2, I posted this graphic numerous times this offseason citing that it was reason for some of our troubles last year, but more importantly how it would be great experience for our team coming into this year.

There are people here, especially recently that keep wanting to say how they just want LSU to win; but when i posted this graphic, all any of you wanted to do was discredit it. How can people that love LSU discredit that? That is how much your O hatred clouds any type of judgment you have on this program.

Wait...what?

Let's see, you'll want to cite his Ole Miss winning %, and how terrible it was...

But then you blink, and this happens:

quote:

---

Since his Ole Moss stint, Ed Orgeron is 24-8 as head coach of a team, interim or permanent - 75% winning clip.

---

75% is pretty damn good, and certainly not relative to what he did at Ole Miss, is it? AT some point you'll realize you can't keep comparing the situations.


as far as future predictors, look at the graphic in my last post about freshmen snaps. That was on a team that won 9 games. O has a strong recruiting class coming in next year. Really strong. But you want to keep talking about Ole Miss. Coach O is building a damn sound process, which is producing results.

Why do you have a problem with expectations? Expectations are a privilege.

You don't think this current team should be held to a standard, especially now? We just went into Auburn and beat Auburn. You don't think that raises the stakes, or will you be satisfied if they hit the over on Vegas win totals this season.

This is a 10 win team and anything less given the remainder of this schedule would be a disappointment.

Not yet. Will take a SECWest title for that to happen

I Don't have any problems with expectations.


but for some reason you think people should take your seriously when you say you expect 10 wins when the tone of your posts suggest LSU is a 6-6 team.

---

I don't know what you heard the "tone" of my posts say but the standard has always been to improve upon last season. Pretty sure I've been consistent on that take.

It's literally the title of the thread.
