It is very sad we have posters still blaming the Troy loss on injuries.

See that's Bs. If O fails then it was a bad hire. If hecis successful, he was a great hire. You honestly sound like you are 20 years old using that logic. People change, people learn from mistakes. There are a lot of people that respect O in football, people that know a hell of a lot more than you do. Give the guy a chance, be positive. Negativity is for losers.

So aranda's second or third unit on the front 7 didn't get abused?

Tell me, how did troy do against Clemson in 2016? Describe that game. Lsu is better than troy, but their backups were not. You don't think the outcome is different if aranda has his starters? You aren't giving him much credit then. However, I've read you long enough on here to know your agenda.

Absolutely ridiculous to blame the Troy loss on injuries. Ed just got outcoached and his meddling with the offense up to that point reared its head. Everyone knows it.

Nobody will ever accuse Eaux of being a tactical mastermind. If he can get out the way we might be ok. Just stand there and clap from time to time and let the real coaches game plan

He’s making the exact same mistakes at LSU that he made at OM, he just had a loaded roster and coaching staff handed to him. There are some LSU fans that just want to stick their heads in the sand and ignore the obvious.

Not my point man...


I said on paper, it was complete incompetence to hire him given he has never successfully ran a program of his own with success. He has done great job in the interim role and he should be applauded, but there is a major difference between interim and being the head coach of your own program.



I mean tell me who else besides LSU would hire him? He was denied interviews at smaller schools for christ sakes.

I think this is where a lot of the skepticism comes from. He made the same mistake with OC at Ole Miss. So, I think that's what gives people pause. IMO, the young WRs should have been much better last year as well, so I see the Joseph hire as bad also.

He took over two loaded rosters that just needed a burst of energy, which O is perfect for. When he has to build his own program, he’s a failure.

So Ed was to blame for troy running all over aranda's defense? The backups at that. You guys are unreal. fricking Troy wasn't some terrible team. Again, the year before the eventual national champion had to score late to beat them. Lsu was a totally different team once healthy and suspensions lifted...but again...that doesn't fit y'all's agenda

O came out and admitted he meddled in the offense, and it was apparent in the first half of the Troy game to anyone with half a brain. Even if Troy ran all over our D, O straight up lied about one of the most important things he promised to the fans.

The head coach is responsible for every thing that happens on the field. Wouldn't you agree that Orgeron deserves credit for LSU shutting down Lamar Jackson?

10-4


Who went 10-4? And tell me the records of those 6 and 9 teams he beat.

His best win in his 15 LSU wins is against a 4 loss Auburn team.

If you want to really go this route we can go ahead and award credit of the Wade hire to someone else. It wasn't Allevas guy.

Good lord, you must not be smart when it comes to college gymnastics. Less than a handful of teams won the NCAA Gymnastics championships in over 40 years, those were also the only schools to invest into the program. LSU did not. The training facility was complete dump and not maintained. There was mold all over and rodents running around in it. But yes DD, you are horrible for not getting people to come play in this dump. DD's teams were always nationally ranked as well, most the time in the top 10. Also its funny how when we invest some money, the results dramatically improved pretty quickly.

There is a major difference between interim coaches and running your own program. I have praised O a thousand times for his incredible job at Interim Coach but running your own program is vastly different.

Okay now you are being dramatic

Nope...he was right there....I just find it funny that aranda gets no blame for not having the backup dl ready...troy ran all over lsu for a while in that game. That was due to depth and inexperience of backups.

LSU is already without four defensive players: edge rushers Andre Anthony (ankle/foot) and Sci Martin (presumably suspended/ineligible), and defensive backs Kristian Fulton (presumably suspended/ineligible) and Ed Paris (knee - out for season).

quote:

two defensive linemen are ineligible: freshman nose tackle Tyler Shelvin (academic redshirt) and transfer Breiden Fehoko (transfer rules).

quote:

Depth is a lingering issue for the Tigers this season. At one point during LSU's loss at Mississippi State, Orgeron had four defensive linemen available for three D-line positions. The depth problems are preventing a deep rotation or any rotation at all
.
quote:

Earlier this season, defensive end Christian LaCouture played every snap of a game. Starting defensive end Rashard Lawrence missed three of the first five games with an ankle injury, and a broken finger prevented Alexander from playing in two games.

Not really, no. I'd give credit to aranda. You are correct, the buck stops with the head coach. However, logic can and should be used. Lsu wasn't the same team early in the year that they were later...and that was due to injuries and suspensions.
