SI - Orgeron impressed the decision-makers with his organization and his plans

SI - "Orgeron said he had "a glimmer of hope" even after the Fla. loss. Five days later, LSU crushed Texas A&M at Kyle Field and the idea of Coach Oeaux taking up permanent residence in Baton Rouge once again seemed plausible. Then came a Friday meeting with LSU officials, during which Orgeron impressed the decision-makers with his organization and his plans for the future. He'd prepared his entire life for that meeting, and it showed."

SI-" So can Orgeron bring the Tigers the championships they crave? He can recruit and inspire just as Miles did. He also has a top-flight defensive coordinator in Dave Aranda, whom Orgeron singled out in Saturday's press conference as someone who will stay in Baton Rouge. But what will LSU be on offense? From a purely athletic standpoint, the Tigers are loaded on that side of the ball. But they've underachieved dramatically. Saturday, Orgeron said something Miles never would have said while still LSU's coach. (But seems more than happy to say now that he's seeking employment.) "You have to run the spread offense," Orgeron said. "You have to have dual threat quarterbacks who can run it and throw it. But you have to have somebody who knows how to run it." Without taking a breath, Orgeron added that LSU would have to remain physical on that side of the ball and pointed out that tailback Derrius Guice will be back for at least one more year.
