Why the hate for Ed O?


Nobody hates him. Most just feel like he wasnt the right hire. He hasn't made it any better with the way he handled his first season as HC.

*Lost to Troy at home
*Lost by 30 to MSU
*Went All-In on Kiffin without a backup plan
*Mediocre in-game management
*Settled with Canada and meddled with his offense
*Replaced Canada after 1 season (Wasted buyout Money)
*Settled again by promoting Ensminger to OC (Who was already on staff)
*Didnt handle the Goodrich & Surtain situation well
*Lackluster Recruiting class
*Worst RB depth chart (On paper) in the last 10 year

With all that said...what was the point of firing Les Miles?

Give the man a chance.

Can someone explain what the difference is between giving him a chance and waiting to see the results before declaring the off season moves a positive?

Well it was time. I think he had become stale and his inablitly to change was what ultimately sealed his fate.
Still respect the man, he did some wonderful things here.

Hate or opinion? It is not hate to think the man simply is not up to the job.

Hating that he is the coach at LSU is not the same as hating him. It's really not difficult to see the difference.

Not so much "HATE" for Ed O, it's the disdain for the blind pumpers, as far as I see. It's that same blind faith that tarnished the legacy of Miles. Logically, not the ideal choice for the new head coach, which when terminating the most winningest coach in LSU history's tenure, it is felt the administration "settled" because of the lack of a plan moving forward. So, here we are, awarding what is thought to be one of the best coaching opportunities to a coach that did not have the skins on the wall, based upon resume, to bring this program to the next level. My personal opinion, we could have done better, however, I am encouraged by the "talk" and direction that is being presented and do not hope for failure.

I’d express my opinion but admins have been banning those who say anything negative against O

I’d give my opinion but I’ve been banned a couple of times for it, so I’ll just shut up and watch the goal posts continue to be moved from championship expectations to “meh, we got a good recruiting class”


FWIW I find this hard to believe, as I've been as critical of Orgeron as anyone on this board, and have done it regularly. I've not gotten so much as a message from any admin.

If you have been banned, maybe it was the HOW you were posting about a subject more so than the fact that you were being critical?

They seem to pay more attention to starting threads vs. just posting in them. Both of my bans came from threads that I started.

I look forward to that clown proving me wrong. I pray for it. LSU winning is the only thing I care about. I’m cut throat. Get the job done or hit the highway. No excuses.
So far he hasn’t done anything, coaching wise, to be optimistic. I’ll attend every game and root for LSU.

I don't know. I've been temporarily banned twice for O-related posts. I can count on two fingers that posts that I've made a personal insult about him, and those were mainly in jest. I've even received a message telling me to "get over the hire", whatever the hell that means.

The poster claims to be an Alabama fan. What more could you expect?
