So, if someone DOES deserve the Coaching job BUT they are from Louisiana that should DQ them??? Help me with that logic.

Not sure you meant to respond to me but the best candidate should get the job no matter from where they come.

Exactly - Easy hires for Alleva with minimal to no effort

So far O has done very well
In what universe is scoring ten points while losing to Alabama and Florida, both home games, seen as doing very well? Our DC was already on staff and our OC is yet to face a SEC defense at LSU. Our recruiting ranking has taken a hit and players are still leaving early.

Not sure any other head coach would have done any better.
Any position coach on the LSU staff could have done as well. It's laughable that people really want to think the best hire for LSU football was a DL coach who couldn't even get a DC job in ten years after failing miserably in his last head coach job.
Alleva needs to go before he fricks up LSU sports any more than he already has.

The Crue...why is Motley Crue not in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame when the likes of Green Day and 2 Pack Shaker are now in? Come on, Motley has sold more 100 million albums worldwide and 2 Pack is not even rock n roll.

Alleva is lazy and always takes the path of least resistance. Pretty simple. Instead of doing his job and hiring the best coach available, he hires the easy and cheap guy.

First it was "only if he runs the table should he get the job." Then it was, "well he lost to Bama, if he wins out from here he should get the job." Then it was "well, that one was on the players, close enough."

There were at least 2 coaches ahead of Orgeron on LSU's want list but they chose not to come to LSU.

Exactly, which is why two loss Les Miles was fired and should have been fired sooner. No other coach could have come in under the circumstances and done any better. The extension for Aranda and the hiring of Canada have solidified O as the right choice thus far.

When the LSU basketball head coaching job came open, Dale Brown and Collis Temple were lobbying hard to give the job to Johnny Jones. He deserved it or something. He was local, a part of LSU, and it was time for him. He just needed to get the job, they said. The whole thing has been a failure.
Miles leaves and we hire Orgeron because he is from Louisiana and he "deserves" it. He talks like us and thinks like us. His history in no way qualifies him for the job, but he got it because people wanted him to have it. I really hope that his tenure is more successful than Johnny Jones has been, and there are reasons to think it will be. But, what I want to talk about is the mindset behind these hires that Alleva has made.

we hired a search firm
Lol. I was told don't worry, big programs hire search firms. Then Joe dick face comes out and says, "I am the search." Joe has not been shy about taking all the credit. Let's hope the ship doesn't go down in flames cus that weasel will be the first to jump.

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

Fixed for accuracy.

I like that in this thread, you're hating on (two) Louisiana coaches at LSU, but in the "would you be happy if Clemson won thread," you more or less say that you'll be cheering for bama because they have multiple players from Louisiana.
Interdasting.
