Evereyone acts like Orgeron is holding this team back. If Les was still here would expectations be higher this year?

Look man... I don't care who the freaking coach is. It's LSU football, of course I would still be excited about the season. I mean, if you're a true tiger fan, no matter who the coach is, you should be excited for a new season of LSU football. Just my opinion tho.

Not really. You don’t remember the last 2-3 years of Les?

Well we would probably have Cam Akers or Travis Etienne, Patrick Surtain and Dylan Moses so yeah.

In all honesty Idk. I was petty broken on Les after the Wisconsin game. That team should have won a national title.

I have no idea what to expect from E so I have more hope of something different.

It didn’t have to be Les or O.

His last year we went in as odds on favorite to win the SEC and ranked #4 in the country. We thought we could win it all. That’s way more excitement then hoping to win 10 games.

Look I dgaf who the headcoach is, as a Tiger, I'll still be excited for LSU football.
We could have Tim Frickin Tebow as HC and I'd still be counting the days to kickoff.

If les were here I think the program would be no better/no worse. So similar expectations.

Sure, because if he was still here, Cam would be gone and someone else would be running the offense anyway. Aranda still here and solid. Tell me what would really be different other than having a guy who has actually won some big games?

I would be more excited with Les here, b/c the program would be more sound.
But, I would recognize Les' lack of recent achievement, the gradual decline of the program and the need for a new, BETTER Head coach.
I can now see that would also require a new, BETTER AD...

Alabama was ranked #1 preseason and LSU was #5 or #6, so weren’t odds on favorites to win the West much less the SEC. but we did underperform. Of course rational thinkers were concerned about our QB situation going into 2016 since Harris looked spotty at best in 2015.

Here’s hoping we exceed expectations this year.

We probably wouldn't have Burrow so no.

Regardless I think most people wanted Les gone. It's simply because of the lack luster hire and search for a top notch HC.

I understand people's frustration over that part. What I don't understand is why they have to keep harping on it like it's going to change or make anything better. Wins and loses will determine this staffs fate so all the complaining in the world will do nothing but put more pressure on the team and give credit to our foes.

Yes. Orgeron is an abomination of a coach. If you wanted to replace Les with Orgeron you are on crack. Les needed to go but Orgeron is such a huge downgrade its ridiculous.
