Long, but hear me out. I think LSU football is in a really bad situation potentially. I hope I am wrong.

In retrospect, the Wisconsin loss at Green Bay was not bad at all. Wisconsin is a top 10 team. The Auburn loss AT Auburn was not nearly as bad as we thought, especially at that point in the season. Auburn was playing well and that was the beginning of a good run mid season. They played Clemson close, destroyed Arkansas, etc.

LSU should have beaten both teams and if we would have played them the way we played at the beginning of 2015 with pounding the ball in the running game instead of trying to establish the passing game as Les was told he had to do, LSU would have won both games and been 4-0.

As the season turned out, LSU would have won EVERY game with Les' philosophy being allowed to be fully implemented EXCEPT Alabama, where we would have gotten destroyed again.

A big part of the problem early in the season was that Les/Cam were trying to make changes and could not.'We were passing the ball 25-30 times per game. Harris was horrible.Etling was rusty. Fournette was hurt. And, we lost to 2 teams - 1 very good, the other good, on the road because we were trying to change and prepare for Bama because we thought this was our year.

The ironic thing is it WOULD have been our year if we had just played Les ball - ran the ball behind Guice, let Fournette heal, and let Harris/Etling just do a little. But, we didn't, the offense with 9 starters returning regressed, and Les was fired.

I'm good with his firing. Any coach who can't even develop a passing game at all deserves to be fired. So, that isn't my point. But, the Bama obsession and trying to develop a passing game is what led to the 2 losses.

Now, Orgeron comes in and alters the offense A LITTLE. Ensminger did a better job than Cameron of getting the offense in a flow and getting out of our own way. Passing to the TEs was HUGE. But, we won by running the ball, just like Les would have done. And, we beat inferior opponents badly because Orgeron wanted to get the job. It was a show and wasn't that different from Les, except the offense was more efficient.

Alabama comes and the offense doesn't work and we get the same result we would have gotten with Les.

Florida comes and we inexplicably lose to a very bad team. The Florida loss was the worst of the year BY FAR and it was at home, not on the road. The Florida loss would have been the final nail in the coffin for Les and would have gotten him fired because their was NO REASON for it. Yes, the players screwed up, but we would have blamed Les for it and Alleva would have fired him.

But, Les would not have lost that game. He would have pounded Florida into oblivion and would have won. Les had Florida's number and would not have lost at home or away. Those are the kinds of games he won 31-27 or something and we would have wondered why he didn't blow them out.

If Les had not been interfered with and given ultimatums and tried to change - but could not - this team goes 11-1 (or 10-1), loses to Alabama, and is in the Playoff potentially.

Even after the 2 early losses, if we don't fire Les, the team goes 8-3. We were never beating Alabama.

If Les had stayed after starting 2-3 and lost to Alabama and the Florida with the Sugar Bowl on the line, Les would have been fired.

Orgeron does what would have gotten Les Miles fired, and we hire him as head coach. It is inexplicable. But, those are the facts. Orgeron was the choice all along and Alleva just needed a way to make it happen and it was not because he was the best coach available. It was because of saving money and politics.

Les needed to go. He had no plan. His time was up. He could not beat Alabama. But, the team and coaching staff he assembled would have gone 11-1 this year if left alone and a hurricane had not hit Florida. Even with the disastrous start, he would have beaten Florida. If not, he would have been fired. We hired the coach who got beat by a bad Florida team.

When Alabama DESTROYS Florida today, you are going to see EXACTLY what I am talking about.
