But all the injuries give Orgeron and his supporters, who still very much exist in numbers, an out. Or at least a reason to lobby that he deserves at least one more season as coach.

It is a fair question, but ultimately not one that's likely to help him retain the job in 2022.


quote:

Injuries don’t also account for all of LSU’s deficiencies on the offensive line. Center Liam Shanahan is doing his best, but LSU should have a top-shelf center who signed out of high school who can play that position. A lot of LSU's offensive line recruits have struggled to play at all, or play well.


quote:

But good programs overcome injuries and defections.

Georgia has overcome the loss of its top five receivers and its starting quarterback to be No. 1 in the nation. The Bulldogs, unlike the Tigers, found something on the spaceship that was still good. And Orgeron’s fate was likely already sealed, even before all the injuries hit LSU with such brutal force.

Honest question, who are these people? Cajuns from where O is from? Louisiana folks who still think he's "one of us?" Facebook fans who saved Les vs Aggy "LES IS LSU" types? Like what is the rationale for still supporting this guy?

Just last night I was at a bar with some family, I brought up O and they immediately came with the "you can't fire a guy for one bad game!" spiel.

Granted they don't follow LSU as closely as I do, but I can't fathom how any casual fan can look at the past 18 months and think Ed just needs more time.

That kid was NEVER coming here. It was not a knock against the LSU coaches.

He wanted to go out of state. It happens.

There are plenty of "misses" to go on about. SVP is not one.

1 bad game is like 4 bad games this year already, more if you count the wins where we looked like shite and like 8 bad games last year. Disown your family man

That’s why I wanted him fired in season. I don’t want another soccer mom revolt or governor intervention to save him. But it’s so bad at this point, and will only get worse, that I feel confident he is gone

Not really. A lot of people in this part of the state love O, we’re hoping he’d be successful, but also understand the current state of the program, and know it’s time for a change.

The fact that this idea is even being floated is disturbing. You know this will be the narrative pushed by O and his sycophants.

Hopefully Woodward sees through it.

They are correct. However, if you have that one bad game every damn week...

The question should be how many of these players would keep playing if Orgeron wasn't still the coach?
