Anyone find it odd that he has not spoken to Myles about the injury?


My original post was a hit take based on nothing so I deleted it.

He obviously spoke to his parents... he didn’t put his foot in his mouth on anything.

"The first thing that Myles' family, such a competitor, first thing they wanted to know is eligibility left, what is the timeline for him to come back, when can he compete to come back and finish his career at LSU? You got to appreciate that."

Oh no, Ed O did it again. He tried but failed to reach out to Myles. This can't continually go on, he needs to be fired and be replaced by Tom Herman.

History would suggest that anything that Orgeron says is completely false.
If anything, history would suggest that Orgeron is too honest. Whether you agree with it or not, O doesn't engage in coach speak nearly as much as others do. Personally I like it better and it probably helps him with recruiting, but occasionally it would be more helpful for him to coach speak a little more.

Maybe he took some pain meds and he was out like a light.

Med staff is who will be in contact more than O.

O didn’t even interview his defensive coordinator before hiring him. What makes you think he has open communication with his QB?


Oh my Gawd, that's another reason to fire LSU's national championship winning head coach and replace him with Tom Herman.

The deal about the Pelini hire is Ed O did it on past performance and his past track record. In fact, when the hire was made, virtually the entirety of Tiger nation applauded the hire and probably including you, but like a hypocrite, you claim to have predicted what was inevitable. Man, you sound like you have a crystal ball with the pet name of hypocrite.

Hell, to be honest, we don't even know if it was all Pelini's fault. I mean, how do you transition from a 3 - 4 defense to a 4 - 3 defense when you have no spring practice, no summer workouts and player run practices, and only an abbreviated fall camp? I mean, only so much can be taught over zoom, but at some point all of that has to be repped and drilled. Yet there as no time.

Of course, some people will blame Ed O for transitioning to a 4 - 3 defense last season. However, how was Ed O supposed to predict and forecast the Covid Pandemic?

I think its safe to say that the Covid Pandemic had more to do with the piss poor defense last year that Ed O or Pelini.

Well, he hired a DC without talking to him so who knows


You know when Ed O hired Bo Pelini, everyone praised the hire and probably including you.

As Ed O said he hired Pelini based on his past track record of success and he said that had he officially interviewed him, he would have hired him anyway.

I suppose you are the only hypocrite in tiger nation that new the defense was going to inevitably be shitty.

I mean, how was Pelini supposed to install his 4 - 3 defense last year when there was no spring practice, no summer workouts with player run practices, and only an abbreviated fall camp?

Indeed, you can only teach so much over zoom. At some point everything that is taught needs to be repped and drilled. Yet because of the Covid Pandemic, it was impossible.

Under those conditions, it probably could have happened to anyone. It's easy to make Pelini the scapegoat, but I'm not so sure it was all his fault.

Moreover, LSU didn't have to transition to a 4 - 3 defense last year either. However, how was Ed O supposed to forecast the Covid Pandemic and the BLM poison that happened last year?

Some of you dumb ignoramuses are the biggest hypocrites on the planet.

This. If the injury is that bad/painful, he was probably on meds and being sedated and in no shape to talk to anyone, much less his HC.

And if it happened in MS while MB was at home... O would have no knowledge.

It does seem a little odd. I had a ruptured appendix and was sent straight to the hospital, but I called my dad and my boss before they put me under the anesthesia.

Didn't O say he spoke with Brennans parents. I thought he said they asked about eligibility and return timeline.

If O talked to the parents, I dont see him not talking to Brennan as such a big deal. I'm sure Brennan us devastated right now.

Was listening to Orgeron on OTB and he stated Brennan is having surgery today. He stated he tried to reach out to Myles yesterday but has not spoken to him. Anyone find it odd that he has not spoken to Myles about the injury? You would think they would have at least talked.

Yes it’s odd but, it may be Brennan was doing something he wasn’t supposed to be doing and was embarrassed to talk to O….or maybe O just being O.

If it’s his left arm (non throwing arm) an they put a cast on it …. He could still play. Archie Manning played with a cast on.

He said he spoke with the family.
Maybe the young man is upset and isn’t ready to talk about it.

I not a genius like CEO, but I would think that at some point in April-May it would have become pretty clear that due to Covid-19 it was going to be pretty tough to completely overhaul the defensive scheme (which is tough enough to do in a normal year), and decided

"hey, given the circumstances it might just be best to have the players run the scheme that they all know rather than trying to teach 9 new starters something completely new over Skype. We have been running that scheme for years, and it was good enough to help us win a national championship, so while it isn't what I wanted, it's probably best for the team."

The Covid pandemic played a huge part in last year's performance. What's frustrating is that Coach O tried to force the change anyway when it became abundantly clear in April-May that things were going to be drastically different across college football.


But like you said we are all just a bunch of rantards. What do we know.

Okay, you dumb hypocrite, help me out here. What other team in the country put 20 players in the NFL draft from the year before?

What other team had four returning starters from the 2019 team, all of them future high draft choices, opt out before the season on top of already losing 20 players from the previous season? Not to mention the starting QB being knocked out for the season in only the third game of the season and its two leading receivers also opting out in the middle of the season. Which meant that virtually the entire team consisted of all brand new freshman and sophomore starters?

Not to mention that LSU was transitioning form a 3 - 4 to a 4 - 3 defense last year. However, because of the Covid Pandemic there was no spring practice, no summer workouts with player run practices, and only an abbreviated fall camp.

I mean, you can only teach so much over Zoom, but at some point everything you teach needs to be repped and drilled. However, because of the Covid Pandemic, it couldn't.

Of course, LSU could have elected to not transition to a 4 - 3 defense last year, but how was Ed O and the coaching staff supposed to forecast the Covid Pandemic and the BLM poison that infected everything last year?

Teams like A&M inevitably had a great season last year due to the Covid Pandemic. However, those teams returned practically their entire starting lineup from the previous season and thus those players didn't need nearly the number of reps.

You're right the Covid Pandemic affected all teams last year, but for some teams like A&M with virtually all of its starters returning from the previous season, it helped them. However, for teams like LSU with practically all brand new freshman and sophomore first time starters, it hurt them.

You're problem is you are too stupid to figure that out because you want to fire national championship head coach Ed O with no cause and replace him with Tom Herman.
