Miles was fired in late September. I was given the full-time job Thanksgiving weekend. Clemson didn’t even off TE until January so there was plenty of time for the recruiting guru Coach to go after Etininne
You're an enormous ignoramus too. Coach O was hired as the Interim Head Coach for the remainder of the damn season and not the head coach. Meanwhile, Coach O didn't get the official head coaching job until after the coaching search concluded Einstein.
Then he offered Etienne and took him out to dinner, but by that time the damage had already done and Etienne decided to go to Clemson when they offered.
Meanwhile, go listen to his new interview on YouTube. It's very obvious that he grew up an LSU fan and watched many LSU/Alabama games growing up. So yeah Miles blew it big time when he forced Etienne to first commit to Texas AM.

So they worked hard and still lost him to a team that didn’t offer until Jan 12, damn near 4 month after O was named IHC. So clearly the previous coaches fault
I mean yeah, you are kind of proving that. It didn’t matter what we did, the bridge was burned

There is a difference between “signing” and “committing”. He didn’t sign with State until well after Miles was fired. Orgeron didn’t go after him either, he offered Alabama’s commitment and nearly lost Brennan in the process.
Okay, I'll agree with that. You are right about that, Thompson committed instead of signing and that's what I meant. However, O knew already that he was firmly committed to Moo state. He's not a retard like you are always constantly trying to insinuate he is.
Nonetheless, I stand by my post. He bypassed LSU because he assumed that Les Miles was going to still be the head coach and then subsequently because there were too many questions about the coaching situation to change his mind.

Obviously you know I’m right that’s why you use insults like an insecure little child.
And Lester Earl posted a quote from his coach saying O told the coach he was going after his boy (Etininne) back in September. However that doesn’t change the fact he was given the full time job 11/26 and Etininne signed with a team that didn’t offer until 1/12 6+ weeks later. So why was Clemson able to get him recruiting him for less than a month?

Yep, that regular season 45.7% Pct was really impressive.

yea, it had nothing to do with LSU slowing playing him for 2 years under Miles.

So LSU is supposed to offer 2 years before signing day but Clemson can roll in 3 weeks prior to signing day and it’s no biggie? And I’m pretty sure Clemson only offered after missing out on another RB.

LSU had an interim coach and Clemson was fresh off a national title.
Etienne liked O and O made him a priority almost immediately after being named interim. Les Miles slow played him. This kid should have been offered as a Soph, JR at the latest.
It's funny the strides you'll go to just bash Orgeron when all the facts are right in front of you. There are other things to hate on him for besides this, which wasn't on his hands

If that’s the case then he’s a petty brat. Pretty stupid to hold a grudge against a school because a coach that was no longer there when you signed didn’t offer 2 years ago in favor of one that thought so much of him they didn’t offer until 3 weeks before signing day. Great decision making process there.

He signed with a team that offered him on Jan 12 a good 6-7 weeks after O was hired by LSU. Plenty of time for O to recruit him but yeah it was Miles fault
Once O was hired as the new LSU head coach after the coaching search ended, he offered Etienne and drove to Jenning to take him out to dinner. However, by that time the damage had already been done.
Now Etienne would have come to LSU had Dabo Swinney not offered and wined and dined him at the last moment. If anyone is to blame, it's clearly Les Miles who wanted to go for Cam Akers instead. Meanwhile, it turns out that Etienne is better than Akers. Way to go Miles. Great job as usual.

well yea, he tweeted he was signing with the real death valley when he committed. Maybe he is petty. Guice has been petty too, id still take him toting the rock for 3 years.

Your definition of great is pretty common I guess Dumas
Posted on 12/30/17 at 1:24 pm to Lester Earl
So explain how he was after him but didn't offer for over a month?

Miles was fired in September... WTF did O do the rest of the year
What? Did the Orkin man pass and spray today? Damn, you ignoramuses are climbing out of the woodwork today.
Ed O didn't become the head coach at LSU until the end of the coaching search. Prior to that, ignoramus, he was the interim head coach tasked solely with coaching the team through the remainder of the season. He did not become the head coach until after the bowl game and the coaching search ended, you moonbat.

by that time they had limited offers to hand out because most of the class was already near full. They wanted Akers but in retrospect they should have offered Etienne before they knew Akers was going to FSU, and not after

O was named full time head coach in November, 6 weeks before Clemson won the NC and offered.

Why didn’t Clemson offer him before Jan then? Alabama apparently did, though they also appear to have back off.

I’m really not bashing O, just you and other posters that want to blame Miles for losing a kid that signed with a school that didn’t offer until 3 weeks before NSD. If they were on him “showing the love” for 2 years while LSU didn’t offer then I could see blaming Miles. But what he should or shouldn’t have done doesn’t matter after he’s fired. There was more than enough time for O to make up ground. If he can’t convince the kid in 4 months while Dani did in 2-3 weeks....
