Who did he not offer that he should have? Who did he offer he should not have? Who did he offer and not get that he should have?

if O is such a great talent evaluator, how come so many from those classes flamed out? O couldn’t even get an SEC caliber center to LSU and had to get a Harvard transfer that got his shite pushed in two years in a row.

OL recruiting was just dreadful under Ed. He was also not very good at positions LSU traditionally recruits strongly at: CB and RB.

2018 class is even worse. Ed's recruiting is vastly overrated. He's a good bagman and set of boots on the ground, but simply cannot successfully manage the long term maintenance of a roster.


At this point, 2018 would be 5th year seniors, so that argument doesn't hold water.

What IS worth noting about that class is that it started falling apart almost immediately.

Marshall, Chase, Burrow, Lewis, Clark were all hits, but 10 players transferred out. Several more were non-factors.

2019 had a lot of misses also.

Orgeron's reputation as a recruiter was unearned. Part of recruiting is keeping guys on your team.

It’s easily accomplished as Special Ed is a buffoon of a coach. He has brought it on himself.

Technically the 2020 season didn’t count towards eligibility, so that whole class could still be playing this year. The stars would be gone to the NFL regardless, but the absence of players from that 2018 class is a big contributor to why we don’t have a full roster right now.

Nearly half the 2018 and 2019 classes transferred out.

Honestly if transfers weren’t allowed like back in the day we are looking at another losing season this year. Luckily that won’t be the case with the stud transfers we got this year.


And we wouldn’t have gone undefeated in 2019 or have a Heisman on the shelf, and likely the Biletnikoff.

One of the most disappointing classes ever outside of Cade York and Stingley.

And Flott, Bradford and Ward.

I don't think you realize how many guys he let slip to other colleges even in Louisiana that turned out to be very good players. I'm not doing the research for you do the research yourself because it seems you have your mind made up regardless if I was to show facts to you.

I don't need to prove anything. The guy is fired for a reason.

he could've used one more year in college IMO.


His stock would’ve been no higher. Didn’t he go in the 3rd round?

O decided chasing skanks and drinking were better options than coaching after his national title

The two classes that should be the cornerstone of your team will represent 30% of your starting 22. People shouldn't wonder why some analysts have LSU set for a bad year.


What he said...brutal attrition and will be hard to recover from.
