It's a thread with a partial transcript of a Moscona rant...and it's glorious. Never forget

LINK

quote:

If you’re convinced through a two month vetting process that Tom Herman is the next Urban Meyer, (caps lock because he literally starts yelling) GET YOUR BEHIND ON A PLANE, GO TO HOUSTON, SAY I DON’T CARE WHAT TEXAS WANTS, WE’VE BEEN HERE ALL ALONG. YOU NEED A LITTLE MORE CHEESE, WE’LL BRING A LITTLE MORE CHEESE. YOU’RE OUR GUY, WE WANT YOU AT LSU. YOU WANT TO COMPETE AGAINST THE BEST, NOW COME ON AND BRING IT. WOULD YOU LIKE TO USE MY PEN OR YOURS? It’s SALES. I do it, we ALL SELL SOMETHING. Sell ourselves, sell widgets, you sell whatever you sell. Joe Alleva had to sell his job against the best job in the country, and instead of DOING IT, INSTEAD OF GOING TOE TO TOE, LOOKING THAT MAN IN THE EYE AND SAY TOM, YOU ARE OUR GUY, you've been our guy ALL along. We had an agreement at 5, if it’s going to take 6, it WILL BE 6. You’re our guy. And instead of doing that…he walked away, and said forget it, I got a guy that wants the job. I got a guy who wants me. SHORT-SIGHTED. YOU SETTLED. Noble…but I would have much rather had Tom Herman.

Come on, man.

Mascona trashes O.. a lot of people did. But Mascona was also the only BR radio personality that didn’t bend the knee and kiss his arse

And 75% of the O hate was because of the hiring process. 25% was due to his lack of credentials

That was spot on at the time



The first half of the 2017 season was really ugly

No, frick that...Matt took the O hate to another level. He shut his show down for an entire day and spent the entire 3 hours screaming about it...the next show he opened it up to callers so they could scream to

I'll be happy to link threads where I called O being a huge success the day he was hired

And if O fell flat on his face, you better believe Matt would be screaming told you so every single day until O was fired...reference the Troy loss, Matt was screaming told u so

Another Joe only one that everyone hated was the one that had Faith in CEO and hired him. But he gets zero credit. I’m glad he was moved to another position within LSU, but dang he got hit hard for that hire. But at least he went out with a bang! Love Woodward replacement also!

So fricking classic

If he were churning out 5 win seasons the last couple of years, then it'd be ok to dredge up the past and link threads calling out the hire...but since most people were dipshits back then, we can't call them out.

Matt had the biggest anti-O voice in BR, and he chewed up O and went way overboard with the hate. You better believe I'm calling that shite out.

I do too. No one and I mean no one was more certain about Orgeron than Ben. It's a shame he didn't get to see just how right he was and witness something he loved with such passion succeed so much.

I think a lot of the frustration with the O hire was with Alleva’s process. The entire firing les / keeping les, missing jimbo, then firing les, then going after Herman and missing, and then ultimately hiring O had people fuming. Obviously O worked out, but Alleva really fricked it up to get there.
