re: The job O has done this season is nothing short of outstanding

No we're not.
We might be on Sunday, but today, we're a 14 point underdog to the number 1 team in the country. If we lose on Saturday, we're probably just in the hunt for a Sugar Bowl berth.

Idiots.
The team is still full of talent.

If that’s not outstanding, I don’t know what is
I guess 2015 was an outstanding season too

So you’ve conceded the rest of the season? Nice

How on earth is that what you got out of my post?
My point is that we were in this exact position 3 years ago and our head coach was nearly (should have been) fired at the end of the season. Being in the hunt in late October/early November doesn't an outstanding season make.

Be careful of what you label as a decline. Its far more plausible that O keeps losing 3-4 games a year than consistently losing only 1-2.

You realize you could say this about any coach that plays the schedules that LSU plays

My point is someone who predicted that this team would be where it is right now would have been laughed off of the rant. We have a very good chance of going 10-2 at worst, at best 11-1 and playing for the whole shebang

Because you and others have claimed all along that coach O was worthless and to prove your point you brought up his record at ole miss and also attacked his character
I have made every effort to confine my criticisms of Orgeron to his football career. I may have crossed the line a time or two but I doubt you can find evidence of me consistently launching personal attacks at him. So please don't continue to say that I'm part of that group.
quote:
You and others also shouted down anyone and everyone that said anything at all positive about the man and his staff
This isn't true.

So when the man is successful early you seem surprised that his early success is thrown up in your face
But it's nothing the guy before him that got fired wasn't doing. How great is it really?
quote:

People are over the moon emotionally about how amazing the job O's done. But when you look at things objectively, it's nothing that Miles hadn't accomplished or exceeded in multiple seasons. I'm just questioning the obvious double standard.

I'm pretty sure that I said that he's had early success. If you can't see that this is the case or have reading issues I don't know what to say.

Wants Les back. There goes your credibility.

How the hell is my statement moving goalposts?
Orgeron has done a hell of a job, but as it stands today, I don't consider us in the hunt for a national championship. Not with a huge game against unbeatable Alabama standing in the way.
Alabama can lose on Saturday and still get into the playoffs. We cannot.

I find it interesting you want to throw up Orgeron's success through 8 games this season, but in the thread about Burrow, you want everyone to reserve judgement until he has a larger body of work.

Why do you think that Les got fired? Because he was doing a great job? He got fired for not handling his business as coach and the team suffered because of it. There's more to running a football team than recruiting.

Sure we can. We would need about 5 losses.
Oklahoma
Ohio state
Michigan
Georgia
Florida
That should do it. Of Course we would need to be very very competitive Saturday.

Maybe you should look at the OP. I'm not throwing his early success in anyone's face. The OP did. Another non reader in the thread.

Yeah, you're right. I meant Alabama can lose on Saturday and still almost assuredly get in. As you illustrated, we will need a lot of help, and I think we would be the first 2 loss playoff team. Fitting, I guess, since we were the first 2 loss team to make the BCS too.

You do reaize that O's best season ever is 4 losses.

Well you dont have any to lose so i guess youre safe.
I said we'd be winning the same way. Or are you under the impression we arent out talenting teams(aside from uga), winning with defense,and have lost tp an inferior team already?
