Not only that, Chris Blair tried to pull him out of it and he STILL fricking took it! His seat is hotter than hell and he still cannot just shut the frick up and try to right the ship. He has to try and be the badass.

This is obviously the issue here which is being missed by a lot of people in this thread. It’s not so much about the “ Words that he said” but more about the place and the timing of talking like this. He’s on the air of his weekly show following LSU’s 2nd loss through the first 5 games of the season.

He has absolutely ZERO self control and he has always fed his enormous ego with tough guy rhetoric instead of being capable of understanding the “big picture “ at hand.

Orgeron’s seat was already hotter than fish grease prior to the Auburn game last weekend. Then, a couple days after a home loss to Auburn he can’t control his emotions towards a caller into the weekly show. He’s incapable of comprehending that people on the outside looking in sees a coach that just doesn’t “get it”. If Orgeron can’t control his own emotions and behaviors, then it’s a guaranteed certainty that he can’t control his teams emotions and behaviors.

This much is atleast been pretty clear…

All of this is spot on. Couldn't have said it any better.

To me the issue isn’t really “O haters” vs “O cockriders” - it’s crazy people/trolls fixating on their “side” versus fact and reason and what’s best for LSU. It’d be just fricking great to have a totally logical and normal discussion about these things.

Ok. Logical, rational discussion here:

As an LSU fan, and a grown adult, I feel that it's time LSU moves on from the Orgeron era. I have no ill will towards the man other than he's botching the job of coaching the Tigers, but he IS botching it, and badly. Can he fix things? No, in my opinion he can not. Why not? Because he is emotionally immature, and lacks any self-awareness, and at this point things are too screwed up for him to fix it.

He won the 2019 Championship. Great. We love that. You won, go celebrate... and then get over it and move forward. Because he is not the coach of the 2019 Tigers, he is the coach of the Tigers, be it 2019, 2020, 2021 etc.

But Ed, from every indication, has not stopped partying since he won 2 yrs ago. Meantime, the job he's being paid millions to do, he's been neglecting, doing half-assed, or not doing at all.
And hey, some people are wired that way. Fine, go enjoy yourself. But retire and go live on the beach (in the bayou, wherever), and let someone else coach this program.

Saban... it's a cliche, I know. But Saban is worried about his next recruiting class, his next season, the moment the gameclock hits 00:00 in the championship game. He's thinking about blitz packages during his daughter's wedding. It sounds joyless, but that's what it takes to maintain excellence. You don't get to sit back and say "hey man, this is great"; you have to start over.

It's clear to me, O hasn't done that. And now, I think he understands he's fricked up and he's beginning to get frustrated... but it's too late. And I don't think his heart is in the game, I think it's in the paycheck so he can keep partying.

No
He is trash and this comment is just one more dumb move! He can’t coach, he can’t hire assistants, he can’t stop banging 20 years olds, he can’t stop threatening boosters at their camp.

Maybe he is as tired of the fans as they are him.
Maybe he just wants his money and go back to the Shrimp boat.
