re: You have to ask yourself If Orgeron is hired can he maximize talent.

Do you have a link to the yahoo story? I went to their site and couldn't find the article. I'd be interested in reading it.

top 5 level in what exactly? Not enough time to build his program? Look at Houston's record 2 years before Herman compared to his two years at the program.

2013 : 8-5
2014 : 8-5
(Tom Herman Hired)
2015 : 13-1
2016 :6-1

I wasn't saying make him your first choice. I believe that Herman is a star in the making. But I also think you can't ignore coach O if he gets this team to play a t a high level. I believe a coach and a good situation has to mesh for winning to take place. Saban wasn't who he is before coming from Michigan St. He was getting killed by Michigan and Ohio State every year. Yes Herman is priority Number 1. Fisher 2, then O.

This team can win out and go undefeated and Oregeron isnt't the guy. He's a pefect interm coach but i would not want him having to develop and build a team
Unless he wins the national championship he can keeps the job

I don't think you will see another first half like you saw this week either. That's what I like about the man, he tells it like it is and he makes them accountable for their actions. When they make mistakes he makes sure they are fixed and if they don't help fix it he sits them. He's bringing these guys together, you tell me who else could have done this? It's ridiculous to say he hasn't improved on what he did at OM. It's plainly obvious that he's a different coach now, much different.

So tell me the all high holy one... What's so dumb about considering the guy that turned two teams around completely and the kids are responding to for the HC job at LSU?

For all the ones saying it's so different to run a program in the middle of a season is far different from taking over full time. What's so different about it? Of course it's different but what makes it that much more different?

An interim coach is coaching another guy's team, with the other guy's staff. (Now yes, I realize O fired Cam, so he gets credit there).

But the interim is using everything from the prior coach. The only thing he changes is attitude, and O is doing a great job there. The interim's main role is to keep the team emotionally intact.

A permanent coach is responsible for EVERYTHING: recruiting, hiring staff, game-planning, motivation, in-game strategy and tactics, media/public relations, etc. etc. etc. The permanent coach sets the path for all of this and has to ensure that it's executed.

O is doing very well as interim. He's been able to release the pent-up frustration of our players and we're seeing the results. He fired Cam. And he's handling the media well. So I give full credit there.

But it's still Miles' team and staff (minus Cam). It's just a far different animal when O has to create and run every single aspect of the program.

Just stop with this Coach O shite please, if he wants to be the HC tell him to build and maintain a G5 program first. Don't test him out at a top tier program just because he's a local guy.

Herman did not build Houston. Why give him the job?

Herman will never bring a championship to LSU

So you believe all he's doing now is keeping them emotionally stable? Lol

He's doing all those things you just mentioned and has brought in a short period of time the people he thinks can get the job done best. He's doing a great job with the media. I haven't seen anything but positive things come from him in the media. He loves LSU and it's not just a job he wants to prove he's a great HC and he's doing that. I believe he will keep what has worked under Les and just change the things that hasn't. He will also mix in things that worked at his last two stops. Like I've said if the man beats or at least competes on the field with bama and beats the rest then he's going to be considered. LSU would be crazy not to consider him.
