Good post... I'm enjoying watching all the O haters spin this



Spin what? 0, the "recruiting master," got us a subpar class this year and lost to State and Troy in the same fricking month.

The Teuhema boys hurt us a lot. Both of those guys could play. People forget about Sione, but he even played and contributed as a freshman. Then the idiocy started. What wastes.

Have we forgotten how many players LSU puts in the NFL?

So which is it, were his classes overrated or was he squandering a lot of talent?

If he classes were overrated then that's a testament to his coaching ability that he was able to win a NC and play in another, all while winning 77% of his games. And it's also a testament to his player development that he's taking lackluster talent and putting them in the NFL at such a high rate.

If he had a bevy of talent then obviously his classes weren't overrated.

You need to make up your mind one way or the other and stick to it.

seems to me that has Les to do with the previous coach, and more to do with the current.


You're putting Teuhuma being academically ineligible on Orgeron?

I get it:

So "O"'s first class that was mediocre, even though he was hired mainly of the fact of him being a great recruiter, will be a great class because all those 4-5 stars transfer anyway and since he didn't get many LSU will be better off?


I'm in!

Once Orgeron accepts the job, he's responsible for all players.

with all those overrated classes Les won a lot of games and a national championship and even appeared in another one. If those classes were overrated then Les miles coaching ability has been underrated.

You can argue that but attrition happens and always happen

2015 produced: Key, Toliver, Jackson, Guice, Moreau and Weathersby. All multinyear starters. Adrian Magee has played well when given a chance. 2 hold LSU Records.

People are going to transfer if they get burries. I don’t think we had any issues becaus Jazz Ferguson isn’t on the team.

Xavier Lewis is on O. How the frick did he let that guy transfer?

not an O pumper but damn you people will twist anything for your narrative

Chidi Valentine-Okeke transfers 12/16/16 - dude was overrated and couldn't hang,

Maea Teuhuma suspended indefinitely 8/2/17 - trouble maker

Willie Allen headed to JUCO 6/23/17 - so who's fault is this? players dont go to juco just cuz

Seth Stewart will not enroll at LSU 7/30/17 - dont know dont care

Doesn't really matter.

The assignment of blame is irrelevant. Once he accepts the job he's responsible. Orgeron still has to fix it and he's held accountable if it doesn't get fixed. If he didn't want to accept responsibility for it he didn't have to take the job.

Good Lord Ree.

LSU has never had a better coach than o.

No one in the history of college football is better at recruiting than o.

Les Miles wouldn't have won a quarter of the games that o has won the previous 2 years.

LSU is finally on the path to becoming a football powerhouse the likes that college football has never seen.

There's no doubt that LSU will win multiple National Championships with o at the helm. Once he gets his coaches and players in place. Not sure when this will happen since everyone in the college football world is against o and his plan. But it is going to happen.

I know this is what you want each and every one of us on the rant to say. Feel better now?

You're truly on a mission for God. Your God (Coach o) that is.
