re: Per the Advocate: Orgeron willing to listen to Tigers

At least Ogre-on wouldn't be in charge of anybody but defensive players. He can yell at them and get in their face all he wants unlike QBs.

how the hell is this pronounced

You would pronounce it "bay-bay" ...

This might be the "O" that I like.

Let me translate this article for you:

quote:

---

Ed Orgeron said he hasn’t spoken to Miles or anyone from LSU, but he wouldn’t turn the opportunity down if his phone rang.

---

translation: back channels have contacted him to gauge his interest and he is considering a move to LSU if officially offered a job

quote:

---

“I have not been contacted by anybody by LSU and I have a great job with the Saints and love what Sean Payton is doing and really appreciate the opportunity he’s given me,” Orgeron said Monday. “But if something would become available at LSU, being from here and having the great respect I have for the university and people of Louisiana, I’d always be interested in listening to what they had to say.”

---

translation: I don't have a firm offer from LSU yet and I am protecting myself if I don't get one better than what I got right now with the Saints

quote:

---

This year is the first Orgeron and his family have lived in Louisiana since 1994. His three sons (16-year-old Tyler and 10-year-old twins Parker and Cody) all played football in St. Tammany Parish this season and are “glad to be back home in Louisiana seeing where their dad grew up.”

“We love being back here,” Orgeron said. “That’s a big plus to working for the Saints.”

---

translation: I have plenty of money and a good life right now so if any of you (LSU, UT, etc) really want me you better be willing to do what it takes to come and get me

quote:

---

“If I decide go back to the college game, that would certainly be one of my choices because of my connection with Lane,” Orgeron said. “He’s a great young coach who I have a lot of respect for and I think he’ll have a chance to win a national championship at Tennessee.”

---

translation: I don't really want to go to UT but the threat of it is a bargaining chip with LSU

quote:

---

As the Ole Miss coach from 2005-07, Orgeron and Miles went head-to-head on the field and on the recruiting trail. But the former Rebels coach said he considered his relationship with Miles one of “mutual respect.”

---

translation: all that BS over Keiland and Joe McKnight is in the past

quote:

---

“I really enjoyed the competition of going to get the great player,” he said. “I enjoyed the hunt and competing with some of the best coaches in the country. I liked the chance to see young men out there and see something other people didn’t see. That’s one of the things I really miss.”

---

translation: there are no WILDBOYZZZZ in the NFL and I miss tearing my shirt off and ripping shite up

quote:

---

During his three-year tenure at Ole Miss, Orgeron coordinated the defense — his first stint as a coordinator at any level. He said he would prefer to land a job doing the same at the college level, but would also remain flexible because of his affinity for recruiting.

---

translation: I want to be at LSU and I am willing to be the DL coach/recruiting guru to get the job

There, I hope that gives everyone a better understanding of YawYaw's position on LSU

That's coach speak supah. Coachspeak doesn't exist

Orgeron strikes me as a guy that likes the spotlight and to be out in front. As an NFL position coach you are basically a nobody and all of your players make as much or more than you. So what I think Orgeron misses most is being in a HS coach's office or in a kid's living room and being the MAN. You just don't get that as an NFL position coach, everything is about the players and the HC

so I think Orgeron is ripe for the picking for LSU and he is clearly motivated.

personally, i prefer orgeron over chavis.




well we have a good chance to land both

do you think it hurts our pocket books too much to land jerry rice too?

I still think Les Miles blows this.

so the consensus is that if O is not hired by LSU, this will be a Miles fail?

I'm a girl and all but if ANYTHING is going to happen shouldn't it be REAL soon as to not miss out on the best guys??? I mean, when you decide on Christmas Eve/Day to leave you don't leave a university much if any time to find a coach ... I hope Les has things in the works ...
