I'm pulling for Coach Orgeron but I can still remember how disappointed I was when I learned Ole Miss had fired him as their head coach....

Really because that current HC at USC was running it into the dumps, Les had lost the team as well then O picked the momemtum back up or morale and did a fine job at both places. I agree the jury is still out but so far it looks ok to me.

You're really going to make this argument in defense of a coach who's only success has been in an interim coach capacity? Holy shite
so you are saying he had success then. The haters don't know which way they want to go. Did he have previous success or didn't he?

He's been fairly successfull as an interim coach. Didn't set the world on fire but did a good job. Don't know that anyone would deny that. Still doesn't make you using that argument to disparage Les and prop up O any less hilarious and lacking in awareness

That's what was said he needed to do to win the job. Then after Bama it changed to, "well, just beat everyone else." Then after Florida it became, "but he wants the job, and he had this super duper binder with a forward by Pete Carroll."

Exactly. The goal posts continue to be moved, because he talks like us and it's his dream job. But so was USC, Miami, Syracuse, Ole Miss.

What important decision makers said that? Only people that said that were half arse fans on TD. I just don't understand how people can't see the changes that have occurred within the program. After he became interim things did an immediate 180. Do you not feel any optimism and that the program is going in the right direction?

In fact most every decision appears to be a good one. He's making the necessary changes and has hired some great coaches in Canada and Robinson. Dennis Johnson is a young guy but he has yielded some good results on the recruiting trail.
I agree the jury is still out but so far it looks ok to me.
Until he gives me something to complain about I'm not going to concern myself with the past. He's the HC so I might as well be forward thinking in evaluating his performance.

The culture was going to change no matter who was named the next head coach. Orgeron looked like a dirtbag politician sucking up to the alumni and using the local radio shows to put out his propaganda. Looks like it worked.

Is your purpose to make this place suck, or are you just as much of an arse in real life? For frick's sake, quit posting or get some professional help.

Pete Carroll & Jimmy Johnson for starters.
I've posted this many times, but people need to understand facts.
No HC in the history of college football has started his career as bad as O, and the gone on to win an NC at anytime thereafter.
Like, it's never happened, not once. Coach O winning an NC would be a historic comeback story. I dont trust those kind of odds personally.

You can obviously tell how much energy O brings to the team. It's unmatched. Miles was like your special ed son taking
Anyone who shite's on Les and raves on O in almost the same breath at this time in their LSU careers is an idiot without a doubt. O beat up on teams with a shitty run defense and then laid a pile of shite on the TS field when he faced a good or better defense. Anyone claiming to be excited after watching our Alabama/Florida effort and loss is clueless.
People want to talk about the decline of LSU football under Les, but seem content with the decline of LSU sports under Alleva. It's laughable that Alleva remains and that the future of LSU football, with all the choices out there, was placed in the hands of a DL coach who couldn't even land a DC job in the over a decade of time from his firing due to his miserable stint at Old Miss.
O might turn out to be the greatest coach in football history, but frick man, are you honestly going to tell us that after the last 15 years of LSU football success O is deserving of this job more than anyone other coach in the game not on the Alleva list of three?
And please stop with the lets move on BS. This is a highly questionable hire for a program like ours.

Hes come through with everything he's promised thus far. How is that anything like a politician?

You can't possibly be as stupid as you're making yourself seem to be.

I was not at all impressed with the lazy hiring process and I still believe that if O is going to be successful, he will have to continue to rely on homerun hires.
However, he has done an admirable job both in adding strong coaches to the staff and with recruiting to date. It is safe to say that I am more hopeful this offseason than I was in preceding years under the preceding regime.

Nobody is questioning whether it was the right hire or not. Follow along bud. At this point it's tiring to hear all the past bullshite talk. Move on and support the program. At least he acknowledges how bad he was and is doing things to get better and is doing the things he says he's going to do. All you can do is move forward and take the things in front of you for face value. If you don't like it then don't watch the games.

This is the part that pissed me off the most. I dont blame O for trying it, i blame our AD for falling for it and hiring the fan favorite with no resume.
