re: Orgeron at LSU for the next 15 years? Yes, one college football columnist says

So you're of the opinion that the players don't matter, the play called doesn't matter. It's the play caller that matters

Yes?

Is this a trick question? All of that matters.

Everyone told me for months what a fantastic playcaller Ensminger is. I've been hearing since Missouri in 2016 that he's such a great playcaller.

Now that doesn't matter? Now it's all about the plays and the players?

hope not because that means we have settled for mediocre and will remain a middle of the road team in the SEC West

Yep. 10&3 with a new year's day bowl and a #6 finish is mediocre as hell. If I were you I wouldn't stand for it.

You should start making phone calls and firing off emails to the president, governor, the Pope and whoever else that you can think of that can do something about this outrageous situation.

Orgeron's biggest hurdle is 2019. If he can't win 10 regular season games with the returning talent, coupled with the true freshmen that will make impacts.. we have a problem.

Not quite.

He should have won 10 LAST YEAR, but couldn’t get the job done against Mullen or Jimbo. Lucking into a NY6 Bowl at 9-3 doesn’t erase that the team underachieved last year.


This team should be better than last year, I don’t think anyone questions that.

Which means 11-1 is the bar. Not 10-2, which was the bar for a less complete team last year that he failed to get over.


This is as good a shot as we will have for years with Miles’ DC and Meyer’s QB, plus the schedule is as perfectly set up this year as any season I can remember.


If it doesn’t happen this year, it just won’t.

If he’s here for 15 more years that means we won a shitload so that’s fine with me.

“ he has the team moving in the right direction”

Three games out of winning the West, two losses to coaches felt to be in competition for LSU job, finishing 9 in the SEC in O, and having an O which turned to be less productive that the one Cam gave us in 2015 is not much of a change.

But you are right in one aspect. After 2017, 2018 can only be seen as a change in direction.

I would say all are rhetorical at this point. There's nothing anyone can say to answer any questions to your satisfaction.

Maybe you can't put forth a cogent argument. Ben sure can't, he cries all day instead.

Georgia finished #5 in the final College Football Playoff poll in 2018. With 2 losses.. IF LSU hadn't lost to A&M, LSU would have finished #5 in the final poll with 2 losses. That's competing for a national championship

---

No.

LSU was ranked #8 before A&M. Georgia was ranked #4 before a close competitive loss to Alabama in the SECCG moved them down a spot to 5.

We wouldn’t have magically been in contention for a CFP spot with a win over AM because we were eliminated from that conversation after getting beat 29-0 at home to Alabama.


We didn’t “compete” for a championship in 2018 and weren’t even close because of the embarrassment on November 3rd.

There's nothing you'll accept

Instead of repeating the same questions day after day, why don't you just wait and see?

You know, like you've been clammoring about for weeks. Following your own advice seems wise at this point, it's all regurgitated rubbish

---

Well, I was responding to someone that thinks that we've previously played right into Alabama's hands, and he thinks that will change. All I asked is why he feels that since we have the same playcaller that we've had previously.

I wasn't making any declaration that something will or won't happen. All I asked is why he expected a change with the same playcaller in place. Seems like a reasonable question to me.
