re: I think Orgeron learned a lot this year

Orgeron is responsible for making the decisions with recruiting last year and missing on the RB that went to FSU. And not getting Etienne. Did he learn a lot about recruiting too? How is this year's class looking?

You know people dont talk about this a lot with Coach O but he is a fairly young coach when it comes to head coaching experience. He had his one stint at Ole Miss which of course everybody knows but that was only 3 years.3 years as a head coach is not a lot of experience. You could argue being a head coach at an elite program like LSU is completely different than like a program Ole Miss. Throw in the fact interim coach is also not the same as head coach . Coach O met some adversity this year, adapted, and has GROWN as a coach.

This place still amazes me, after almost ten yrs of membership. fricking WOW

And the O sycophants criticize some of us for saying that Ponamsky pays posters on here. shite like the OP is not heartfelt analysis. It’s fricking O hagiography.

They’ll be submitting fricking supposed O miracles to the pope soon.

yall are not getting it. Alleva didnt hire O because he knew or wanted him to learn on the job. He hired O because of his potential of being a very good head football coach. I am starting to see it. Finding the next great coach is not a perfect science. Ask yourself this. How many great coaches are out there? Compared to the standard you have LSU at?

And to people saying he shouldn't be learning at his age are incorrect. Its about EXPERIENCE. Youre learning new things everyday in life with new experiences. Dont care if you're 18 or 50. If 18 year old has done something the 50 year old hasnt, most likely the 18 year old will be better at it because he has experienced it.

I bet I used big words that you had to look up, huh?

Coach O's big test is next season. Offense getting an overhaul, schedule is going to be ridiculous. If he goes 9-3 again, it would be considered an improvement, in all honesty.

So why wouldn't he start with a hire that at least had a winning career record?

What about Orgeron screams "next great head coach?"

I’m impressed you know the word “vocabulary “ to be honest. I bet you do laugh at me.

You strike me as one of those not too smart southerners who laughs at “book learnin”. That’s why you’re such an O sycophant. Nothing about your support of him is reasonable. It’s just that it givs you a chance to have a mastabotory session to stroke your good ole boy credentials.

I'm going to have to look this one up.

Coach Orgeron has been given an incredible opportunity. He has 2 more years to show progressive improvement in the quality of the product that he fields.

Absent that, it's a business decision, unclouded by emotion or notions of loyalty.

If a quality hire is available and accessible at the end of year 3 and we have only managed to muddle through under Orgeron, then he is gone.

If a viable alternative does not present, then you extend with a nominal buyout until things change, one way or the other.

The standard for progressive improvement, going forward, in my view, must be winning the west and earning a trip to Atlanta. Period.

Orgeron, like the rest of his peers, is forever on the clock. Just the nature of the beast. People need to stop clinging to him, or any other person we hire.

They don't matter: LSU does.
