No sure why you think this makes him look better

I like him too because he's an entertaining troll, but that doesn't mean I want him coaching the football program. I think it's odd that the same people who think Orgeron is unqualified, which there is a good argument he is, are also advocating for Lane Kiffin, as if that would be anything more than marginally better, if any.

He said it. Why is it wrong to hold him to what he said?

A guy without any transgressions in nearly 30 years does get more of a benefit of the doubt. You seem to want to act like this occurred last week. Let's take you, for example. Do you think it would be fair to say you are not the same person now that you were 10 years ago, much less 30, if you were even alive 30 years ago?

You think Kiffin and Orgeron are the same caliber of coach?

Did I say they were or do you want to keep building strawmen arguments? I said he may only be marginally better. Kiffin has had issues of immaturity at every job he's had and continues with every tweet he makes. He's never built and maintained a good football program at any job he's had.

People can't make a case for Orgeron without bringing up off-field stuff because his on field results pale in comparison to most.


There is no need to make a case for Orgeron. He already has the job. The case needs to be made for kiffin. It’s the title of the thread.

When comparing the 2, we realize that if we were choosing between them exclusively, then we have already failed. Black marks cover both of their resumes.

no shite. It’s incredibly sad to have a coach that has shown violence against women in his past leading the team.

Fine, I'll rephrase, you said this.

So you believe Kiffin is only a marginally better coach than Orgeron?

Hell NO !@!!

One coaches and trolls the internet at FAU. Thank God he got the job or he would be the OC at LSU. And not because I don't think he is a good OC.

The other is the head coach at LSU.

No comparison.

Well, one's black marks are mainly for performance. The other's marks are for off field issues.

I thought we were discussing performance. In that regard, O does not compare to Kiffin.

He would make a big difference. He would be able to recruit QBs and our offence would not look like it was stuck in neutral all the time.

As a head coach and as of today, yes. He knows offensive football Xs and Os but he has a long way to go to show he's mature enough to run a program. All but a handful of his recruits at TN were out of the program for off the field incidents within a year or two of him leaving the program. UT was placed on probation for transgressions under Kiffin. He was fired at USC. He was fired during the CFP at Alabama. He now has the opportunity to show he's grown, and while his record was good last year, he still has to show that he can sustain that success and also show P5 programs that he'snot going to be a problem off the field. And the more he continues to troll the college football world on twitter, he's not exactly exuding a lot of confidence in that regard to P5 ADs across the country.

RIGHT !!!!

Eaux wins by a landslide in the best comparison that could ever be made in the coaching profession.

One coach fired at the airport, other coach takes over and leads team to a winning season, national ranking and a bowl game.

Kiffin has clearly been the better coach in terms of performance.

But if people somehow think that they're comparable in ability then this will be a fruitless discussion. I actually don't know how you can look at the resumes and think they're close.

Kiffin has been fired in dramatic fashion during the season in every major job he has had (well except UT, where he left the team in horrible shape). If you are unable to accept that, then yeah I’d agree this is a fruitless discussion.
