re: Why did O go from "We want pro style qbs" to "dual threat" in a matter of weeks?

Do you have a clue? No. Did you watch the elite 11? No. Typical rantard talking about things you know nothing about and your entire knowledge comes from press clippings.

quote:

---

Doesn't it seem obvious that Lane Kiffen is coming.

Yesterday, we offer a Bama commitment from Hawaii who is recruited by Kiffen at Bama.

We send three coaches to visit Lowell Narcise

Today, pro style Myles Brennas decommits.

---

EXACTLY

Kiffen's Bama contract expires in January. His relationship with Saban is over. He and O have been unofficially talking since Kiffen is still legally under contract (remember Chief)! His offense requires a dual threat QB, and he wants his Hawaii recruit to follow him!

Neither O nor Kiffen are dumb enough to put all their eggs in one basket, so 3 LSU coaches revisit our dual threat QB commit from St. James.

Only a HC offer from a good school will stop Kiffen from coming here, but I would argue that our recruitment of the Hawaii kid indicates that Kiffen thinks he's coming here!

Brennas is a smart kid who wants to be drafted in the first round, and sitting behind a dual threat QB will not work for him. He hasn't ruled LSU out, but he smartly reopened his options.

If our new OC is not Kiffen but a pro style coach we would have to recommit him before signing day.

I remember O saying that too.

Also, with Hurts having a great year as a Freshman, that QB might have to sit behind him for at least 2, maybe 3 years. Where at LSU, he may get to play quicker

Here is the exact quote from the Oct 12 radio show. I think anyone can tell he's talking about recruiting after he gets the permanent job.

Tell me the significant difference in my paraphrase and what he actually said.

Take all the time you need.

I'll wait.

quote: “I want a pro-style quarterback,” Orgeron said. “Louisiana has been rich in quarterbacks and pro-style quarterbacks. … We’re going to go anywhere in the country that we need to get them, but we’re going to look at Louisiana first.”

---

quote:

---

He doesn't know what he wants because he doesn't have a plan, binder notwithstanding. He just says what he feels he has to say in the moment to garner favor with the masses.

---

When he made the pro style QB comment he knew 3 things:
He wanted to be HC.
He had a very good pro style commit
He had to keep all options open.

No one knows how O will do. Best or worse, let's take the ride without all the backseat bitching.

To. Beat. Bama. That is all.

quote:

---

when did he say this

---

On the radio:

quote:

---

To be precise, coach O took the radio waves to say: “I want a pro-style quarterback. Louisiana has been rich in quarterbacks and pro-style quarterbacks.”

---

LINK

After he stated that he wanted a pro style QB Narcisse began to look elsewhere. He visited Memphis and scheduled a return trip to Auburn. O crawfished and then made the announcement that he wants a dual threat. Then O and 2 other coaches did an in-home visit with Narcisse to try to smooth things out. I feel bad for these kids because they're all being told what they want to hear - hard to know who to trust.

quote:

---

does not speak of a HC with a coherent plan, but a HC being a puppet for behind-the-scenes manipulators.

---

O does not have a singular vision of how to approach football like Elite coaches do. He doesn't have a plan, a strategy, or a core idea of HOW he does everything - recruit coaches, players, plan for games, etc.

This is a major issue.

(It's a given, Miles was TOO rigid, there's a difference between understanding on you want to approach the game, being flexible, but executing it and using it to drive your decisions....and being bone headed like later Miles years. But ELITE people in any profession have a core vision that drives them and they make all of their decisions around that.)
