re: Why do we keep giving LSU coaching jobs to Louisiana natives who "deserve" it?

les miles had lost that team and the coaches all hated cam Cameron and they were about to lose the coachesWell this is just pure speculation.....

you are correct. but it wasn't hard to read between the lines when reading quotes from both coaches (not O) and players. but it is just opinion based on heresay.

but I think Orgeron would have won the rest of the gamesWell again speculation.... I could say Les would have went 6-2 the rest of the year as well

---

this time I stated it was my opinion. but I DO NOT think miles would have gone 6-2 the rest of the way. the team played much, much, much better after he was canned. it was night and day. I think (speculation) that miles had mailed it in.

you're being a dick. I read lots of stuff, not what I want to read.

quote:

O may have wanted Les gone because obviously it helped him....

could be true; I've thought about that. but, he had no way of knowing he would still be employed if miles was canned.

and LSU hired a coaching search firm and it was widely reported. do you own research.

Football - 4 coaches out of 32 were from Louisiana.
Basketball - 8 of 33 were from Louisiana.

Not to sound brash, but this kinda makes your post moot.

Who else besides Stovall and Coach O?

they were the only two I could think of.

You got several downvotes from a lot of the little kids on here, which tells me in itself you made a good post. Anything these little punks disagree with is very likely good for Lsu sports.

You are a idiot two head coaches in all of LSUs modern history but keep the spinning going.

Your argument that we keep doing it is pretty easy to disprove, and that's coming from someone who hates the Ogeron hire.

LSU has 20 head coaches? You named 2 jobs that have gone to Louisiana natives.

He named two pretty high-profile jobs that went to two guys with thin resumes in their experiences at the corresponding positions they held at other schools before coming to LSU.

Personally, I don't care where the coaches lived, grew up, etc. In the case of Jones, his main selling point was he was from here and tight with Dale Brown and Collis Temple. And his performance at LSU hasn't exceeded the low expectations that came with him.

In Orgeron's case, he's had a good start here. But LSU still lost its two most important regular-season games under his watch, and the Ole Miss record horse has been beaten to death. Let's not throw him a parade yet. And it's pretty sad that Alleva just threw up his hands, took his ball and went home when Tom Herman and Jimbo Fisher raised the stakes in the poker game.

There were no other head coaches out there, either? You fired the sitting head coach two months earlier to hire a guy down the hall? That's why people were/are pissed off.

I can get behind that. And bring Ogea in as pitching coach or "consultant".
