Yeah but maybe hold on to that shite til like after O was fired or something. The timing of this was poor with us needing a new DC and re-recruiting players to come back next year.
I get that it’s his job to break stories but I’m just fining it hard to come up with one positive thing from this, for the program and Jordy. Only bad propaganda and unrest amongst fans.
There’s a legit search and interview process this time. They effed up with Pelini and didn’t need this to realize that.

I disagree with you on several levels.

First, there is no reason that "O" should be shielded from this until he's fired. We ended up with one of the worst defenses in the country after he decided to forego the interview process and just picked a guy he knew, with no actual research in figuring out if Pelini was capable of running the style of defense that is needed to compete against modern offenses. He deserves to be called out, and I don't give a crap what recruits think. If this is how it's going to be, then we have bigger long term problems with Orgeron that need to be brought to light.

The unrest among fans is well earned. It might not be fun to you, but that's part of being the head coach of a big time program. You screw up, you feel the heat.

Also, I don't know how you can say "There’s a legit search and interview process this time. They effed up with Pelini and didn’t need this to realize that."

By all indications, there was no real "process" in hiring Peetz and Mangus. Orgeron just went to Brady, got a couple of recommendations, and the decision was up to those two coaches if they would accept the offer that they were about to receive. We'll see how they work out, but that was another case of making a very quick decision.

And as far as the DC search goes, Orgeron made another gaffe by talking about who his top targets were, and then whiffing on them. It's possibe that the only reason he's having to interview more than one, is because his guy turned him down. Either way, he messed up the optics on that, and now looks like a bit of a goof still searching half way through January.

If they realized that they screwed up with Pelini, it doesn't show much. And I say "they" because I'm including Woodward in this. He, as Athletic DIRECTOR is responsible to make sure there is due diligence on all hires. Obviously, he's going to defer to Orgeron on final decisions, but he's got to stay on top of making sure there is a legitimate process. I don't think it's meddling too much to have your coaches be more thorough. If it is, then I don't know why we need an AD. Accountants can handle the numbers, and just let the coaches do whatever.

Seems like they either found out something they didn’t agree with in personal life or found out he was doing something in his professional that was in violation of his contract with them for his termination to be so abrupt.

That being said, the big boss man could just be trying to prove a point to all his talent. To be clear, I don’t think that’s Rush bc why thank him if he just canned you to prove a point.

24 pages and we still don’t know what actually happened? We need the OT sleuths on this. Someone on TD has to know Jordy

This was planned behind the scenes in an attempt to thwart the likely upcoming firing, but did not work. It's not coincidence.

Dude now how in the frick do you know this? Who told you this? I’m dying to hear this answer. I’ll hang up and listen

I’m pissed. This is bull shite.

Fricked up my mornings, I'll just wait and see where he goes and tune in.

Guaranty has a post on their FB page looking for their next morning co-host

Something went down though, that I’m sure of. Word on the street is it’s about $$ but the way it went down I’m not buying it. I’m still looking around though. As far as the spots with Jordy on them, all that content he produced is property of Guarantee Broadcasting so that could technically run forever. Happens all the time. Radio is a crazy world though, just when you think you’ve seen it all Seth Dunlap pulls that crap because he was in serious debt and looking for a big payday. If that came out this will eventually

Was it because he admitted to a felonious hunting incident on air?

Just listened back. Nothing he did was illegal in the least bit (assuming he was licensed). Shooting button bucks is frowned upon but 100% legal

What other listening options are there from 7-10 am that cover LSU? I typically stream fox sports radio at 9 when Jordy leaves, but looking for some local coverage.
