Does Ed O have an official role?

Advertisement
Ed O is here with his cash hoard for some quality beach time and to buy rounds from local watering holes. I doubt he wants to get anywhere near a regular job.

Let me ask a different question.

Every factor you mention was true for the past 4 months. Sooooo...what has changed in the last couple of days with Ed Orgeron? Why now? Why him? Why didn't Mario make this bold move months ago?

Again, I have nothing against Orgeron. I was at UM when he coached for us, he's great at what he does. But I find it hard to believe that UM is going to sign off on this, given the history. You just saw an HBCU get massive blowback when they tried to hire Art Briles. I don't know why UM (or any non-SEC university) would rush to hire Orgeron for such a small role (consultant) so soon after he was fired from LSU for issues that went beyond "didn't win enough games".

If I'm proven wrong, I have no problems owning it. But I just don't see it happening.

I find it hard to believe that you can't find any discussion of Ed Orgeron on this board, but the apology helped. It is extremely unlikely that Ed Orgeron will ever be rehired by the University of Miami, given the circumstances of his original firing.

Now, can we put this topic to rest? Forever?

It's not that I couldn't find any discussion on Ed O, but rather if there was real buzz of him joining the staff. I also don't have 30 minutes to go through every thread.

But I appreciate a real answer. I know there was some stuff previously that makes it unlikely, but the fact he's even been allowed to participate in the coaching clinic and take pictures with recruits, and it seems things are changing from an administration point with completely new leadership, so nothing would surprise me at this point.

I'll just say this. Ray Lewis (sadly) came close to being convicted of felony-murder. And yet he still comes back to campus all the time. It is also highly unlikely that he will ever be gainfully employed by UM.

That's all. No hate. I'd be happy to shake Coach O's hand today, even with everything that has transpired. I just don't believe he will ever be offered a job at UM.

It’s just amazing that someone so successful is persona non grata to the entire sport.

Art Briles can't get a job, either. ***** up at a high level and people don't want to deal with you—even if you can be an asset. Per an ESPN piece in October 2021:



As the Tigers' on-field struggles continued this season, Orgeron became prone to tantrums, throwing chairs and cursing out players. He lost the respect of the team, sources said.

"There are guys that will run through a wall for their coach," one source said. "They wouldn't run to the bathroom for him."

-and-

More troubling, in the past eight months, Orgeron had twice been accused of improperly handling allegations of sexual misconduct by a player. Both allegations involved former star running back Derrius Guice. In March, a 74-year-old woman testified to a Louisiana Senate select committee that Guice approached her while she was working as a security guard at the New Orleans Superdome in December 2017. According to the woman, Guice told her, "I like having *** with older women like you" and "I want your body."

The woman, Gloria Scott, told lawmakers that Orgeron called her offering to have Guice apologize and allegedly said, "Please forgive [Guice] because he's a troubled child."

Orgeron submitted a written statement to the committee, in lieu of testifying in person, and denied ever speaking to Scott directly about the matter. Scott said she told Orgeron that she wanted Guice suspended from playing in the Citrus Bowl on Jan. 1, 2018. He was allowed to play.

-and-

Then in June, Orgeron was added as a defendant in an amended Title IX lawsuit against LSU that accused him of failing to properly report an allegation of rape against Guice. In the fall of 2016, according to the complaint, Ashlyn Robertson told her new boyfriend, who had been recruited to play for LSU, that Guice had raped her.

According to the lawsuit, Robertson's boyfriend disclosed the alleged rape to Orgeron, who purportedly responded by telling Robertson's boyfriend not to be upset because "everybody's girlfriend sleeps with other people."

At the time, Orgeron issued a statement denying he said that and "credibly denied" being told about the incident, according to the law firm Husch Blackwell's investigation into the university's handling of sexual misconduct cases. The amended lawsuit states Orgeron never reported the rape to the Title IX office or any other office at LSU.

A USA Today investigation last November found that at least nine LSU football players had been reported to police for accusations of sexual misconduct and dating violence since Orgeron was promoted to interim coach in 2016. The report said the university had disciplined two of them, and former wide receiver Drake Davis was not kicked out of school until four months after he was convicted of physically abusing his former girlfriend, an LSU tennis player.

Asked to describe the current culture of the program, a source close to the program told ESPN on Sunday, "It's broken."

Maybe he really enjoyed himself at the coaching clinic really liked the atmosphere and may want to jump on board. Just a guess.
I can see Mario using the coaching clinic like a recruiting visit..."come down check it out enjoy the weekend.....and then we can talk" kinda thing.

It's not cryptic? It says very clearly that he's hiring people lol. Does he have to mention people by name of who have been hired or something?

If he's not trying to be cryptic, yes, he does have to mention names or positions or something. That's exactly the kind of thing anyone can tweet even if they know nothing.

Mario will be hitting the portal for some big names soon!
Mario will have some big-time names on campus this summer.
Mario's making big plans...

See, all of those were statements and they were all vague as f*ck.
