Under no circumstance is it even remotely ok that the head coach of LSU to go on his radio show and talk about throwing a caller down a fishing hole. This isn't the mob.

To be fair to Ed, nobody would've even blinked if Trump said something similar.

Yes, it was a dumb thing to say. I agree with the OP. People are making much more out of this than it was. Outside of TD and some local radio/podcast folks, nobody really cares and looks at this no different than a streaker on the field.

When Ed gets fired, it will be for all the losses on the field the last two years. The other stuff doesn't help but 99% of the reason he gets fired will be wins & losses.

Does anyone actually think he was unironically threatening to have the guy killed? No shite, he was joking. It’s an issue of maturity. One of many, which have been stacking up lately. In case people haven’t noticed, we’re historically bad at football for two years running and the coach is fighting boosters at fishing camps and supposedly banging coeds. When you look at the big picture, yeah, this joke looks pretty damn bad.

YES. Read the damn board. There’s one titled “so Ed threatens to murder a man” etc.

You people have lost your damn minds. Hopefully he’s gone next week.

It’s clear it’s not serious but his decision making to say it when Blair had tried to move him past it is the issue.

I think the issue is that we're tired of the good ol'boy persona. We want the competent professional.

This is exactly what kept LSU down in the past, and why Saban made such a positive impact here.

It’s happening. The Mulkey hire made me put my trust in Woodward. We don’t need Saban we just need someone good enough.

The fact that this is even a discussion speaks to how low we had to go to get this guy and give him this opportunity.

I don't need my HC talking about fishing holes. How about O fishes for some good coordinators?

. I don’t think it was a personal threat as in he was going to do something to this caller. But it was a threat in the sense that he was telling the guy that where he is from that is how they deal with ppl like him. But you also must factor in that Ed just a few months ago went onto someone else’s property and threatened them, someone that supposedly is a booster. You also must consider that Orgeron has a history of violence being how he deals with things.

We don't need Saban, but we need someone cut from that cloth.

Saban doesn't boast about whupping someone's arse, he preaches achieving excellence.

There is a significant difference in the mindset.

This is why Saban's players usually say practice is harder than games for them, and could be why LSU can't seem to get it's shite together and make adjustments. O probably doesn't get the principle of defeating a concept (a scheme), he focuses on trying to push the opponent around, and doesn't understand how that can be used against you.

That might be why he wanted to remove Aranda's influence on the defense, it was "too sissy" for his tastes. He wants smashing, not skill, first.

Not a death threat but if that had happened in person you think O would have had the composure to not try to fight the guy? He let some rando UCLA fan bait him in to the sissy blue shirt comment.

So you're more upset at the people talking about his dumb comment, rather than him who could've prevented all of this by just keeping his mouth shut?

I’m not bothered at all by the comment. I don’t think it was a big deal.

I am VERY bothered if the threat to the booster was true. But this was harmless. He was just trying to get a laugh while basically telling the caller stfu. Anyway, starting to beat a dead horse so.
