And Coach Mullens is supposed to be an offensive type of guru and EXACTLY what did he accomplish this past Saturday against Alabama?
MSU's talent is nowhere on the same planet as LSU's

But if it's O's job to only motivate, because that's all interim head coaches do, then it's not his place to make offensive adjustments
What kind of asinine statement is this? He's auditioning to be the HC. If he wants to make adjustments then he should do it. LSU has the talent to beat Alabama, despite what everyone might think here. They should've got it done. It's on him as much as it is on Ensminger and the entire offensive staff.

What do you guys give O credit for?
We can thank him for doing his job, so that we have the best possible leverage to get the right guy in.

Anyone denying that Coach O has done a great job turning this team around is a tard. You can agree he's done a great job without supporting him as permanent coach.

Getting this team to play much better than it had under Miles. He has done that and then some. Still, LSU needs a different HC.

For changing the culture and invigorating the players.
For arse-grinding inferior teams like they should be arse-grount.

The best thing Orgeron has done is get Miles out of the playbook.
His practice schedule has gotten a lot of compliments from players and pundits alike.
He has managed the company business and let the players and coaches focus on prep.
He has pumped some energy into this team each week and has had them mentally ready to play. I even include the Bama game because they were ready but a few seemed to have been overwhelmed with it all.
Seems to have held this recruiting class together for now.
Seems to have instilled some discipline in the team as evidenced by the number of minor suspensions.
Oh Hell I almost forgot this one! He has brought back dissemination of meaningful info in the weekly pressers and radio shows!

Coach O has changed everything that Miles was criticized for. Hes breathed new life into a stale program and thats why the team is playing so well. He's done a great job at what he's been asked to do, and i dont think anybody is arguing that.
But I still think the emotion is going to fade and then we will need to be better strategically than other teams. I dont think O brings that aspect to the table like a Herman or Jimbo or top tier coach would.

Not one thing. He's just a damned ole coon arse cheerleader. Get with it - we're doomed if we pick him. Could've done the same thing with Miles' wife. That's why he was sad after stomping Arkansas. He gone.

mixed in with a heavy dose of Derrius Guice and Darrel Williams to produce a whopping 634 yards. That’s the most total offense the Fighting Tigers have ever put up against an SEC opponent, and the 418 rushing yards were their most in an SEC game since Oct. 30, 1976, when they racked up 426 against Ole Miss.
LSU had two 100-yard rushers (Derrius Guice and Darrel Williams) and a 200-yard passer (Danny Etling) in the same game for the second time since 2013, and a total of nine players had receptions on the night, including two fullbacks and two tight ends.
LSU did all this without completely revamping its offense and abandoning its identity as a smash-mouth, run-oriented football team, but by just making some tweaks to formations and introducing a few new plays.
Josh Growden averaging 47.7 yards (a career-high) on his three punts. (The fact that Growden only punted three times in this contest further illustrates how dominant LSU’s offense was.)
Guice ran for a career-best 163 yards and three TDs on 17 carries for an average of 9.6 yards per carry.

wide receiver D.J. Chark became the first (and only) player in school history to score touchdowns of 75 yards or more both rushing and receiving.
LSU’s defense has given up just six touchdowns in the first six games of the season.

and 84 total on the season which is tied for fourth nationally at 14.0 points per game.

How incredible was Fournette? After a 1-yard loss on his first carry, Fournette gained 250 yards on his next six carries. His gains, in order: 59; 5; 24; 8; 76; 78. He averaged a video-game-like 35.6 yards a carry on his first seven runs.
He added to his extensive career highlight reel with a trademark trucking of Deontay Anderson in the second quarter.

There has always been discipline within the team as far as off the field incidents and breaking team rules,at least as far back as 2005 that I can recall. Perriloux kicked off the team, Mathieu kicked off the team, Jefferson suspended for half a season. Hell, one game against Auburn a few years back, there was three or four players suspended for the game, Spencer Ware being one of them.
You make it sound like the inmates were running the asylum before Orgeron was the head coach. That's just not the case.
