re: Now Is Everybody Happy?

This is my feeling exactly..

Like I said yesterday:

"Personally I think it makes yesterday's move look even worse... If you were gonna hire one of the best recruiters ever anyway in Orgeron, than why hire another one of the best recruiters as the DC. The only reason Steele was brought in was for recruiting, but now we have two awesome recruiters and nobody to coach the talented kids.

If we were always getting coach O, then Pendergast should have been the DC hire. He's an outstanding DC and the two (he and coach O) have worked together before, but Miles was just worried about him being able to recruit."

Orgeron is a great hire, but it would have been better had he been paired with a good DC

Why would people piss and moan about hiring a well respected, highly touted DC?

I was ecstatic with the mentions of Pendergast, Shoop, & Smart. All have excellent resumes as defensive coaches. I think there would be many positive posts if somebody qualified had actually been hired...

Steele has one of the worst coaching resumes I've ever seen. So bad to the point where he was named as the worst HC hire in the NCAA. His DC numbers are atrocious as well. And he has been fired and demoted from his recent meaningful jobs.

I feel like that earns the right for fans to be pissed off and moan a bit.

This is an abysmal hire and it was clearly done for recruiting purposes which is extremely upsetting since LSU already recruits so highly just based off of program reputation. Why not actually hire somebody with even ONE instance of coaching success?
Anybody whom has any experience in life and workplace knows that being PC and not burning bridges is the route you have to take. It doesn't matter the money he was making, they saw they made a mistake but didnt want to implode the program so the repurposed him and let him go the following year... That's the professional way to handle it. Legally you are not even allowed to badmouth an employee because it hinders their ability to find another job...

He's obviously got skills as a recruiter and that is why he has the slightest of interest.

I think everybody could read through the lines that Steele really cant hack it and Bama only kept him around in meaningless roles for his help in recruiting. This is a complete swing and miss for LSU
Think its appropriate considering it is 35 years of experience of ineptitude
