re: The upside of Coach Orgeron (from a notorious anti-O advocate)

let's see how his first recruiting class goes.

at the end of the day, O loves LSU. LSU will love him back. Geaux Tigers.

I was for Fisher or Herman. at the end of the day, i'm now an Orgeron man. that's because he's our coach. I will give him a chance to prove his mettle.

Suppport

I would have been more supportive if O had not regressed to the same Miles offense when on the big stage against Bama and UF. That was chickenshit

IB4 Danny missed the throws.

I don't understand why it is so hard to understand that O had to go with the system that was inherited. Now he can work on his own or the OC that he bring in. It is a really stupid argument for anyone with some sense.

System and play calling are two different things.

Herman was my first choice but O was my second out of the three for those reasons and a few more.
I haven't heard much about the job Insminger did in seven games and feel he's getting short changed here. In seven games he produced the top three single player rushing records in LSU history with two different backs. Think about that, LSUs historically been a run first offense and Miles was a run all the time offense with the same RBs for the last two years and never accomplished that.
Anyone that blames the Florida loss on play calling is an idiot plain and simple I will not elaborate, so we lost one game to Bama that will probably go undefeated. Which brings me to another observation, I hear a lot of chatter about Kiffin. Do poeple honestly think he called a great game against LSU? He could have run up the middle at will on us but instead got cute and played right into our strengths.

Biggest selling point for me is LSU holds the cards on O's contract and based on his recruiting reputation worst case we are back doing this in two or three years.
Worst case with a ten year contract of guaranteed money is you are stuck if it doesn't work out.

Coach O being from here + Aranda's awesomeness = the best recruiting we've had in a long time

With you 100%. I wasn't an O fan but this could be a great move. It's already working out well by getting rid of some of our shitty fans.

Good post. Certainly some advantages to the O hire and as LSU fans we have to look on the possible bright side. I believe he will work very hard. I don't like Lane personally, but he has done well as an OC. Hopefully, Ed can get him and retain Aranda which is I think is very key.
