Treating the Symptom

Many Tiger fans on this board and in actual daily life can't seem to shake O's buyout from their minds. Even WWL did a report on it - that Tiger fans say he should be fired; and how Christian LaCoutre came to O's defense. Tiger fans have even started GoFundMe accounts to accrue the money necessary for O's buyout.

This is both ludicrous and laughable. Does anyone realize that anyone who willingly says they would pitch in $100 or more for a Orgeron buyout is trying to solve incompetence by throwing more money at the problem? shite, we are already paying a buyout for Miles, and we wonder...why had we committed to Miles all the way until 2019 with a blank check given the program was clearly in decline when we re-upped his contract?

The way to cure incompetence is not to throw massive amounts of money at the problem like is suggested in many threads on this site. The problem is not Orgeron - it's the one who gave him the massive contract: Joe Alleva, and F King for intervening for not firing Miles at the end of 2015 like what should have happened. Firing Ed Orgeron without at the very least also getting rid of Joe Alleva will accomplish exactly nothing. People who want to pony up money for O's buyout are classic "TREAT THE SYMPTOM, NOT THE PROBLEM" people. If you want to get to the root of the problem, go for Alleva and perhaps F King. The purple and gold flower will be back in full bloom and splendor if these two are gone. If we fire Orgeron, these two roots who made him will still be underground, and we will do this same song and dance all over again when we have another careless and incompetent coaching search.

Because of the lack of courage exhibited here, the LSU football program has been set back a decade. The way to get the program back on track is not to hire a new coach. It's to pay the 1.5mil buyout for Alleva, which is a much better option since we are throwing much less money toward the actual solution. It starts at the top.
