What coach acts like that during practice


Most of my middle school and high school coaches.

Well yeah. He was quite literally becoming a weekly embarrassment to the college. Anyone with half a brain knew that extension was a disaster the minute he signed it.

Hot take, but I don't think Miles was a buffoon. I think he's an odd dude, but also plays those things up to shield his players a bit from the media.

It’s simply not acceptable at this time in LSU football for the team to have two non-winning seasons in a row. Not even the 2019 national championship can excuse that record with the fan support and recruiting available to LSU football.

of course it was.

But is this the same Scott Woodward who idiotically gave O a massive raise and extension just two years prior???

Does that include screaming for a timeout after an interception and calling for clocking the ball with 1 second left?

Honest question, but is this a decision the AD would ordinarily come to on his own or does that request come from elsewhere and Scott has to make it happen? Wasn't that the story with Jimbo at A&M? Boosters wanted him, told Woodward to make it happen by any means?

Exactly. Because it was hot and he poured water across his face to cool off and that struck emotions in "Karen". Wow.

I would hear a list of reasons as why he should have kept his job?
I will respond, but I don't want to get in any debate on it.
1) He had one of the greatest seasons in the history of the game in 2019.
2) 2020 was going to be a disaster no matter what, with losing Aranda and staff, a ton of starters, and no offseason. However finishing 5-5 in an all SEC schedule was a very good result to the season given all that.
3) 2021 was rough, but once again the team was rebuilding and lost the QB before the season started. Really his first bad season since 2019, and he got fired half way through it. The DC and defense was coming on strong and I think we would have had an excellent run in 2022 with a stronger class if Woodward simply got behind Orgeron publicly instead of hanging him out to dry.

2019 is THE outlier in his coaching career.

After '19, he could have hired almost any DC and any OC. The options were numerous and he hired . . . Bo. Then forced his 4-man attacking DL on the schene and hired Jake.

And lazy O didn't even interview Bo.

'20 was gonna be a step back but it didn't have to belly flOp. But hey, the defense dud look better than anytime in '19.

And the rest of your excuses are just as hollow.

nope.

Elite program reload, they don't rebuild. Quality coaches know their roster will have big turnover most years, and their coaches will leave too. They have to be prepared to replace those players and coaches. Do we not sign 20+ new players every year?

And if you think finishing 5-5 in the SEC is a "very good result", the year after the best season in college football history, then I simply have nothing more to say to you.

Elite programs DO NOT TOLERATE that kind of huge dropoff.

Aranda, Brady and the 35 players that left the team for whatever reasons including a few that graduated capitalized on the success of the 2019 season, good for them.

There was going to be a falloff no matter who would have been a coach with that much talent leaving.

LSU should have won 8 games in 2020, "O" did a horrible job preparing this team, hiring coaches and the off the field playboy image he produced is all on him.

He is gone and LSU has a coach that is bringing a good image back to our school.

I mean looking at Jack's gif how many coaches do you see like that?

Nick Saban.

Orgeron didn’t screw up because he got mad at practice. Anyone who played HS football knows that is a commonplace. He failed because what little ability he had to manage people and processes went instead to chasing tail.

Fans wanted a real hire. The fans got the binder instead.

I guess. This seems to be a popular excuse for why he went down. Honestly though, I don't believe he ever had any ability to effectively manage people. The whole "CEO" was stupid from the beginning . . . made up by people who don't understand what a CEO does. O was dumb enough to believe it himself.
