It is time to put up or shut up. We all know what Alleva and committee did. What would you personally have done?
Me personally might not have done much different but I probably would have made Texas pay a little more...
My options were:
1. Fisher
2. Herman
3. Orgeron and new offensive staff
I did not see anybody I was willing to turn the program over to below Orgeron.
My opinion... whats yours?

4. Do your due diligence as an AD and bring more candidates in.

people have no concept of bias with the familiar. They literally scoff when you mention a guy like Fuente, Holgorsen, MacIntyre, Gundy etc. This was an egregious mismanagement of the search. Problems aside with their lack of willingness to invest in a Herman or Fisher, they should have at least taken a chill pill, regrouped and conducted a thorough search with multiple interviews throughout the next couple of weeks.
I woke up on Saturday to a 7:00 AM tweet that they had found their guy. It's madness.

Nothing screams out for statistical analysis more than the hiring of football coaches. You should be able to create a formula that gives a reasonable measure of the likelihood of success. If I was in charge, I would have found an analytics company capable of performing that measurement across a broad range of coaching candidates and pursued the ones at the top. It would be interesting to know the number of interim coaches over the last 20 years who have become head coaches and their level of success as both interim and head coaches; what percentage had previous head coaching experience before being an interim coach; the differences in success from those with previous head coaching experience and those without; the differences for those with offensive or defensive backgrounds; whether age made a difference, etc. I would have been reluctant to turn the reins over to Coach O without having some empirical evidence that he had greater than 50% chance to be a successful head coach based upon his record as an interim coach.

Crazy 4 LSUgets it to the T. Any half arse AD that's paid the money that Alleva gets would do their damn job. Hell Orgeron was going no where Recruiting has plenty of time. If Fisher, Herman told you no so be it, What's the damn hurry. Go back to your office, regroup and make some more contacts, Plenty of NFL coordinators to contact, Try Justin Fuente at Virginia tech who knows he may bolt after one year, you don't know if you don't ask, inquire about Gundy, Macintyre, Willie Taggart, Hell talking to James Franklin's agent would do no harm. If you don't like what you hear you back to Orgeron. I just can't believe that LSU once again and has so ofter been the case with the 2 exceptions in my lifetime in Paul Dietzel doing his work and bringing in Bo Rein who I personally think would have changed LSU's course of history and the Hiring of Nick Saban by Emmert in reality not Joe Dean. But every other damn hire has been a knee jerk decision including Bertman hiring Les Miles. For the life of me, I don't understand why a university like LSU is run by a bunch of clowns.

Orgeron with a competent staff is fine. A head coach is a figurehead and motivator. Perhaps also a strategist depending on their personality, capability and/or coordinator's capabilities. Orgeron can obviously motivate and recruit the talent. Put some "geeks" around him at coordinator spots with enough talent, that's a formula for success.
