re: Orgeron on not interviewing potential hires

It’s more likely that the agreement when Orgeron was originally hired was that the AD had to approve coordinator hires. We’ve seen this with Canada. He was forced to keep Aranda.
I think this is a power struggle.

I believe any sensible person would agree that he made significant mistakes by not interviewing coaches last year.
Then what have you been losing your mind over for the last two pages?

It’s truly unbelievable that some of you think this was just an innocent mistake. This type of dumbassery should never be forgotten.

You'd think so.
So, how did Orgeron hire someone he didn't interview? Blatant incompetence? Laziness?

Man y’all getting real worked up about this.
Do you re-interview employees every year after they’re hired?

People around here look for anything to bitch about. Doesn’t matter if it’s O, Wade, or Paul. Not interviewing someone last year, taking too long to hire someone this year, interviewing too many people deemed “unqualified” by the rant. It’s never ending.

Try to keep up. We're talking about interviewing them before they were hired, to the tune of $2.3 million per season, after not having coordinated a defense in 13 years, only to produce the worst defense in LSU history.
I mean, who could have seen that coming?

Wait so you think being pissed about not interviewing someone is fine and fits with the others? Brother you might be a rantard

Dude that 2019 season was lightning in a bottle. Ed O is Chizik 2.0.
Posted on 3/23/21 at 9:37 pm to 1999

Damn LSU is fricked between Pulmonary, Chiz 2.0, and Wade who can't coach dick when it comes to fundamentals.

Kinda like you crapping on other coaches?

Super happy with his hires this season
DC Jones, not so much. 110% a SJW Woodward PC hire.
Hope it all works out Scotty Boy, but on paper DJ doesn't have the DC experience necessary to come in here and manage a Defense in the best Conference/Division in college football. (Hopefully Baker can take up the slack, since he has more DC experience than the actual DC)
We all don't have a choice though to do anything about it; can't do anything except give it a chance to succeed or fail on the field. We'll get evidence immediately against UCLA if it's going to work or not.......

Isn’t interviewing potential coaching hires “part of the job”?

I thought the exact same thing.

Do you give CEO credit for getting Joe Burrow to LSU, getting Joe Brady to LSU???? Of course the frick he was responsible for the above! Shut the frick up, he made mistakes last year and he owned up to them...drop it
Are you advocating that doing something right in your job one year is an excuse for not doing your job the next year?
For fricks sake, man. You got to admit not interviewing a hire is pretty stupid. I’m not saying to fire the man immediately, but doing what he did was just stupid.

No, I don’t think it’s fine. However, the constant bitch fest on here over everything LSU athletics is beyond embarrassing.

O has now cost us at least $6 million in buyouts. This is just an terrible look and it will rear its ugly head come September

People are saying that it looks bad on Woody for signing off on it without O having interviewed them. The more likely scenario (and it has been rumored) is that Bo and Linehan were Woody's hires in the first place, which would at least partially explain why O didn't interview them. Would also give O a reason for admitting that he didn't interview them.

Its incredibly unlikely woodward comes in as AD, and then almost immediately starts putting assistant coach hires on the head coach who just won a natty, and this is after the canada fiasco.
And even if it were true, and woodward recommended/strongly recommended them (strong arming O, which goes against what we know woodwards personality to be) a halfway functioning head coach would still interview those candidates.
