Question regarding the player interviews about Orgeron’s pregame antics
Posted on 5/17/18 at 6:30 am

AL.com had the video which is an Alabama news. My question is, these player interviews were from the combine which was in February, why is AL.com choosing to release these interviews now?
Any chance they’re trying to sway a particular player from coming play for Orgeron?

I don’t see how this would sway you one way or the other.
Orgeron isn’t a good coach, but he wants to win, that’s clear.

I don't know about negative recruiting but whatever he did prior to the Notre Dame bowl game should be immediately removed from his repertoire. It didn't work Ed.

Much more likely that it’s just slow right now and it’s a story that will get a ton of clicks

No doubt that is what they are trying to do. Don't you find the timing interesting. Lsu spends multiple days in Bama recruiting and they run that article while our coaches are up there.

None of this was made up...LSU would do the same to Bama if Saban acted a fool and took his shirt off, punched himself in the jaw, growled and smashed a red bull can on his forehead......I can't believe Ed thinks acting like that as the head coach is ok after he said he learned from his days at Ole Miss.
Like Spurrier said this morning on his OTB interview, it's all about the HC's record. Ed O can squash a lot of the negativity by winning big next season.

NOLA did an article also. Theirs' was published yesterday. If it is meant to be negative, it won't accomplish much.
We are talking football here not ballet or figure skating that some of the posters here are true fans of and only follow football during their offseasons.
These are examples of other motivation techniques used by coaches:
In the end, despite Orgeron's methods, all that matters is a full-hyped team of Fighting Tigers.
LSU's Ed Orgeron might be a bit crazy, but it's whatever gets the job done

What Orgeron is doing isn't unusual when you consider he's being true to himself. That's his personality, that's who he is.
It would be stranger if he recited memorable quotes in a pregame speech from storied past world leaders like British prime minister Winston Churchill than to empty a Red Bull and crush it on his skull.
These are examples of other motivation techniques used by coaches:
quote:Idiots played hard and won the game with a late defensive stand to save a freaking collared and leashed turkey's life and then carried the coach and turkey off the field.
Once when Louisville played at Tulsa on Thanksgiving, then-Louisville coach Lee Corso lied and told his players he made a bet with Tulsa's coaches that if Tulsa won the game, they'd get to kill a turkey. His players bought in.
quote:Not a bull anymore. WTF !!! His team probably lost after watching that. Hell they probably walked differently for a while themselves.
During a week in the 1992 college football season when Mississippi State was about to play the Texas Longhorns, then-State coach Jackie Sherrill had a 400-pound bull named "Wild Willie" castrated in front of his players.
quote:Better than having nuts cut off.
Former Rice University football coach Al Conover threw a chair through a glass window to punctuate a pregame speech before the inspired Owls beat Arkansas in 1972 for their first win over the Hogs since 1958.
Conover's original plan was to run on the field with a pig on a leash.
"He couldn't find one," Rice quarterback Bruce Gadd told reporters after the game, "so he threw a chair through a window. It got the blood flowing, all right."
quote:
there is one LSU pregame tradition he has established that his team loves. It involves every player snapping his chinstrap on Orgeron's 1-2-3 count just before heading out the dressing room door prior to kickoff.
"That (sound) sends chills up your spine," Etling said.
In the end, despite Orgeron's methods, all that matters is a full-hyped team of Fighting Tigers.

Frankly, the D lost that game.

Those are fun stories, but each of those examples are one-offs.
Orgeron has recycled many of the same tactics that he used before, and at other schools.

Being hyped doesn’t win football games.

So fricking what?
He was on the staff of four national championship winning teams. He may know a little about motivation for football players.

So, we know his motivational tactics aren't without fail.
Clay Travis documented that the special teams players at Tennessee thought the wildboyz crap was stupid. And no matter how much you want to consider it ancient history, it wasn't working at Ole Miss either.
Most importantly, Orgeron is the one that said he had changed as a coach; that he had stopped drinking Red Bull and taking off his shirt.

You really don't know much about football do you?
Do a search and post the videos or articles of the memorable pre-game speeches given to the whole team by position coaches. It shouldn't take long at all because the list will be very short and will not even exist.

I remember him saying he cut down on red bull and may have given it up for lent last year.
I don't remember the shirt part.
You have links to these?

A passionate pregame speech and running around punching yourself with your shirt off is very different.
