re: Which posters supported the Ed Orgeron hire?

I sure as hell wasn't but once he won the NC I was willing to give him a chance. That chance dissipated quickly. That said, he pretty much validated any and all criticisms I had of him up until that point if not more.
He's the luckiest HC to ever win a NC in NCAA and it's probably not close?

O wasn't my first choice, but I did want him over Tom Herman.

Does “cautiously optimistic” count?

This. And although I'd take it, I've never let up that 2019 had very, very little to do with O, and was mostly being supported by good people - who he mostly did not hire.
Even with 2019 - O has never been a great a coach, and never will be. That was true in 2016, it was true in 2019, and it's true today.

While the foundation is here at LSU, it still requires a lot of moving parts to make the motor run. After 2019, Ed O, lost focus, and here we are. But Ed was a good coach before he lost focus.
Sounds like you’re the bitch
Also, you really are a whiney bitch. Just sayin.

I mean I wanted Herman but I definitely was not in the camp of miserable posters who panicked and bitched about O before he had a chance to do anything.
Yes the O hire has come to an awful end but whether you like him or not, he put together arguably the greatest college football team ever assembled. I know it was Burrow, Brady, and Aranda that really elevated that team and I know most of O’s hires were atrocious but that season he got it right.
I don’t think most coaches sign Burrow (almost no one offered burrow as a transfer) and absolutely no one was trying to hire Joe Brady.
I’ll reiterate that O’s time is rightfully over but his failures since 2019 don’t prove those who were vehemently against his hire in the beginning right.
2019 happened and O pushed multiple buttons to make that happen. He’s just pushed every wrong button since and completely lost sight of what made them successful to begin with. Success was O’s downfall because he couldn’t stop trying to make things exactly as they were in 2019 instead of trying to move forward.

radicalizedtigah vehemently raised cane about the hire and we never heard from him again. Zapped. Dude was a prophet! Miss him.

Swap Herman and Orgeron in 2016 hires and Herman probably wins a natty also and Orgeron’s results at Texas probably match his Ole Miss results

Considering Herman recruited Burrow to OSU against Urban’s wishes then yes, he probably gets Joe to LSU.
Posted on 10/13/21 at 2:53 pm to Jack Daniel
I didn't really support Ed himself but I bought into his "I'm gonna hire the best coordinators" schtick. I accepted that arrangement could work so long as Orgeron kept his paws off of the offense/defense. Was willing to give it a shot.
It's gone tits up now, but I gotta admit the NC was an unexpected surprise. Did not see him being able to get over that hump.

I thought O was a hire of convenience but I admit I kinda liked the “geaux tigahs” after the halftime interview. I thought “tell the truth Monday” etc. sounded neat and he seemed to answer questions head-on. A new sound. But now it all sounds a bit childish and a big todo about nothing like ripping his shirt off on television.
Not sure what category all that puts me in but I am ready for a new direction

Why didn't he get Joe to Texas then?
Its easy to say Herman would have done the same thing as O but the fact is that Burrow was in the portal and Herman had the opportunity to recruit him and chose not to.

I supported Les getting the axe. I wasn't thrilled with the O hire but I supported him as I would any LSU coach until they prove why I shouldn't. That point was reached last season. Time for O to hit the bricks.

There were 3 people that elevated the 2019 team to GOAT status and O is responsible for 2 of them.
He inherited Aranda but O hired Brady when no one else was even interviewing him and O recruited Burrow despite no other P5 teams doing so.
O needs to be fired but to say he didn't bring in the people that made 2019 special is laughable.

So you were watching the first 14 games in 2019 saying "Coach O sucks!"....Sure

He did well until he lost the team bc of voices like Ryan Clark and the blm shite in 2020 spring.
I have been defending O's 2019 season in this thread but I also have to call BS in this. Sure those things didn't help but O dug his own grave post 2019. He clearly spent much more time on his social life than he did in the past and didn't even interview his DC hire. Player's notice when a coach isn't around as much as they were previously.
