What would it take for you to get on the "Keep CEO" bandwagon?

---

I think too many fans are looking at win/loss record, which is important but not the only thing that should be looked at. How does the team perform during the games and how he is correcting the issues that have plagued us in the past. If he goes 2-3 in the next 5 games I don't think he has a chance "obviously." But 3-2 depending on how the team plays and performs because this is "I would think" the toughest stretch of 5 games "4 within 20days" that LSU has faced since I can remember. So to throw his name out just because he goes 3-2 to me just shouldn't be done if the team has played well just came up short in a couple games. Now if those games were blowout losses then again I don't think he gets the job. But let's say we lose at home to Bama in a close game and maybe Arky or Tamu in a close game then I don't think his name should be just thrown out.

Literally undefeated to finish the season.

I can't fathom firing a NC coach to promote our DL coach who failed at his only HC opportunity.

This. Plus our top targets (Herman, Jimbo) would have to turn us down.

I love O, but as a d-line coach and recruiting guru.

Im on board if he wins out. Nothing less.

4-1

and I don't think

Ole Miss
Arky
Gators
aTm

can beat Lsu

Bama LOL they can beat the Tigers

not sure that they will

Win the next 2 games, and then win at least 2 of the last 3.

I think winning out (total hypothetical but since you're in the never O camp let's just go with it) he will have shown me a lot, not a little. You seem to be of the opinion he will have only shown you a little, not a lot.

---

He'd be showing me a lot...it's just that what he's showing me isn't as meaningful long term to me as it is to you, I think. I agree that he's behaving as if it's his job solely, and as a Tiger Fan I appreciate that, because I think we're getting his best effort. At the end of the day though, I still think it'll be a good indication of how he performs as a step-in interim coach and not necessarily what he would do as the long term solution as head ball coach.

Again - if i had to hire someone today it would not be O. It would be Herman (and who knows what other candidates will show up) but I am not shutting the door on O. Let's see what he does first before writing him off is all i'm saying.

---

I'm a fan, and like I stated in my first response in this thread I'll fully support any coach LSU hires. In fact, I'm quite sure I'll support them and if/when they begin to falter I'll be told that I'm a bigger fan of (insert name here) than I am of LSU, or some similar horseshite. I'm just saying if I were the AD (I'm not) that Orgeron would only be under consideration if all the top names on my list were washouts. This is solely because part of the criteria I'd be using this time around when hiring at LSU would be a successful run as the head coach of your own program. No position coaches, no coordinators, no interims.

I have already boarded the wagon

What is the risk?

If he's given a 4-5 year contract for modest $$ and is unsuccessful after 2 years.............move on.

---

what you've described is a big risk.

Firstly, no way we'd fire O after only 2 years, unless he had a miserable record. The screams would be deafening that he hasn't had enough time.

Secondly, those 2, 3, or 4 years of O (if they were crappy) would leave quite a hole to dig out of. You can't allow a program to decline for 3 or 4 years (on top of Les' decline the last 3+ years). That's what can kill a program.

We need to right this ship immediately. No room for a 2-4 year test for Coach O.

OP - It would take results.
