Thoughts on LSU/Coach O from people outside Louisiana
Posted by The Truth 34 on 2/5/18 at 11:24 am12413
Let me start off by saying this isn’t a pro-O/bash O thread. Just relaying others’ thoughts and opinions.
Went out to Phoenix for the Waste Management Open this past weekend. Our group had LSU shirts, hats, etc. Every person we talked to said how much they loved Coach O, mainly because of his Barstool Sports connection. We spoke with fans from Stanford, Nebraska, etc. Basically fans from schools that haven’t won anything lately.
We also had our LSU flag at the 16th hole rager. People must still think LSU is relevant because a few randoms would yell “LSU sucks” when we’d hold it up. I take that as a compliment cause I sure as hell wouldn’t tell some random Nebraska fan that his team sucks. I don’t even think of them being relevant in the college football these days.
Props to the other big groups of LSU fans we saw out there as well. I believe that our collective effort caused Justin Thomas (Alabama alum) to double bogey 16 on Saturday.
Overall, it was a fun weekend and interesting to hear what people outside of Louisiana think of our program and Coach O. Just thought I’d share with tRant.
Bonus: Here is our group at the 16th hole on Saturday.

Everyone I know outside of Louisiana tells me they can’t believe we actually hired him and wonder what the AD was thinking. They say it’s sad because of what we were and what we could be with competent leadership.

Not studying that wall, but I live in Alabama, and LSU still gets a lot of respect from Auburn and bama fans. They're condescending but also fully know LSU has blown some great opportunities with talent. Most foolishly think we screwed miles, but some understand he was the problem.

I'm glad y'all had a good trip. I love touting Purple and Gold anywhere but really don't care what they think. I appreciate the ones that yell negative comments as much as I do positive comments and the enduing conversations.

Well done, baws.

I spoke with a few Syracuse fans last year about it, and they wondered why as well. But I guess that’s because he coached there, so they knew him.
Maybe many of these people we spoke to don’t have a clue about him.

Pure ignorance here. A ton of money comes from outside the state. Huge LSU fan bases throughout the country.

My Ole Miss friend still calls him him "Ole Oeaux and 8".

My family here in Oklahoma is almost exclusively OU fans with a few OKST fans. They all ask me my opinion because they're unfamiliar with Orgeron aside from his disastrous Ole Miss tenure.
When we would talk about it, basically I would get their first impression before I offered any insight... and most all of them pictured the comparison of a swampbilly coonass being thrown the keys to a Cadillac Escalade as he steps off the deck of his airboat. I'm pretty used to hearing that, as that's how most of tRant openly professes to believe.
Now I can give two shites about what a group of loud irritating Chokelahoma fans think, but that's just what I get. OkSt fans seem somewhat indifferent while OU fans mostly hope that LSU fails and falls. That's just how they are.

Everyone outside of the CheeriOs thinks the hire was a mistake & that the LSU program is plummeting. Most just laugh because they know it really won't threaten their team's success.

I’m no O fan, so that is my full disclosure. Honestly, I live in Alabama (Birmingham specifically). Most often it’s “I can’t believe y’all hired him.” What sums it best is I have a good friend that’s an Alabama grad. Decent guy though! He said “When y’all fired Miles I thought our run of owning LSU was over. Than y’all hired Orgeron and I knew it had just begun.” Hard to mad at the guy, he’s right.

outside of Louisiana, LSU has a reputation for:
1) Exporting great pro players in all sports
2) Being nearly bankrupt
3) Impatient fans/ruthless micromanaging of coaches and contracts
