They can’t, though. Not any time soon. Bo is clueless. He could not be any worse. He just doesn’t have it, and he never will. OId dog, WAY new tricks.

We don’t have the money to buy out Bo. O is stuck with him. After Bo is gone in 2022, the 2023 season is the season to do it. The only way things get turned around is Orgeron realizing he has to hire younger minds like Brady, and actually do homework on the fricking people he hires and not base it off of what they did 15 years ago.

I’m actually optimistic that O gets the message, what I’m not optimistic about is how this hurts recruiting.

O deserves credit for his willingness to admit past mistakes and trying to correct them. Unfortunately this is looking like another expensive mistake (canada). Very bad move to go with Bo. Then to try and belittle hos predecessor for whatever reason. He needs to fix it, recruit, and get away from the meathead tendencies that have seen him dump on Aranda when he spent 3 seasons ballyhooing about having the best DC in football.

This year is BS. As far as I am concerned, it’s nothing but scrimmages. This year season shouldn’t have happened since it was on again off again and then on again. Some teams start basically on time others in November. No fans, no tailgating. It’s hard for me to see it as a legitimate season. I don’t care to watch it. LSU goes from the best team in college history to a 1 win team. How can any team that wins an Natty this year brag about it?

I get it. Could be worse though. Only positive about sucking is that it was directly due to players busting coverages, not understanding what they needed to be doing. Completely different if they are doing what they are doing, and can’t keep up with receivers, etc.

O is a Democrat fyi

Please. Dabo and Mike Gundy are about 100 miles further right than O and got caught in bigger “controversies.” And they seem to be doing fine.

If O lost the locker room bc of that it’s bc he had a weak grip on the locker room, not bc politics can’t be controlled.

This may go down as the worst LSU team of all time.

I've read some dumb stuff on this board, and this statement has to be in the Top 10.

Pretty much all the other teams have faced the same challenges as LSU, COVID, reduced practice time, ups and downs, it’s been the same for most of the SEC. our problem is that Coach O, although I like him and appreciate what they accomplished last season, is basically a position coach that is good at cheerleading but obviously not very good a choosing other coaching talent. He has to pick guys he likes or can get along with, which are few. The reality is, if Aranda hadn’t already been here and O hadn’t inherited him, he most likely would have never hired him, O just isn’t comfortable with other coaches that are as good or better than him, it’s a personality thing,
And although all the other teams were saddled with most of the obstacles that LSU was, somehow we look much worse than the rest of them, our defense looks like the just got together on a Friday before the game and then came out the next day and played a pick up game, with no coaching, no cohesiveness, no preparations, just put on the uniform and jog out there and see what happens. Actually it’s hard to make some of the talent we have look as bad as it has thus far.

I think it's more he respects positions of authority and thinks that's how people should treat them because he's made it pretty clear he likes JBE and Trump.
