Orgeron

Coach O to his credit has made some changes. And good for him. What never gets mentioned here was that the changes were made after a few YEARS, and the guy made mistakes in the past. And people wanted Manny run out of here after 5 games. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

This board is obsessed with who we could have had coaching, who we missed on recruiting. Can't we ever just be happy after a 3 game win streak where it looks like things are finally coming together? Where kids who stayed with us worked and are finally showing improvement?

Even LSU fans felt that way when he was promoted. Goes to show one's track record doesnt always predict the future.
 
Orgeron is a terrible head coach who looks good because of his staff. Good god at this suggestion.

He’d be flopping at LSU, just like he flopped at Ole Miss, if he didn’t have an admin that opened their wallet and paid $2 million to their position coaches.

And, no, he doesn’t have a great staff because he recognizes coaching talent (ala Jimmy Johnson or Butch Davis.) He only has a great staff because LSU can outbid everybody.
 
Does anybody remember when we tried to outbid LSU for Aranda, but failed? And Richt decided that the next best option was a guy who had been a Dorito level flop at Texas?

LSU outbids other schools for assistants as well. Orgeron is a bad head coach who lets his assistants run the team.

Yeah. Every HC gets rid of their high dollar OC in the 1st year, then goes and grabs a 29 year old GA to run things.

Blind luck. No question. LSU outbid everyone for Joe Brady. He was the hottest name in football last year.

Joe Brady is only the passing game coordinator. He’s not the OC.

Anyway, he might end turning down OC offers because of how much he makes as LSU PGC. That’s how insane LSU’s staff salary is.

This is what was needed here, but of course troll shalala would have none of this, the good ole days:

 
He sucks. Got lucky with a QB transfer and an OC. His long term success is more what he did it SC. Meh.

He was a drinker and in a very volatile personal relationship when he was here. One that resulted in him being permanently persona non grata at the school. They probably still have a file on him or some **** sitting around.

As was mentioned, those demons were apparently left in the past so good for him but that's why we never tried bringing him back in any capacity.

That's exactly what I heard at a Canes basketball game several years ago. Virtually word for word. The wife of a very long term Canes head coach in a lesser sport sat next to me that season. I wouldn't push for anything but in normal discussion game to game she would occasionally mention tidbits from within the athletic department, either now or past. Let's just say her husband was extremely frustrated. He is no longer coaching, at least not on the collegiate level. When I mentioned my USC background and Orgeron's name came up, she immediately got more emotional than any other time, saying everybody liked him personally but zero chance he would be welcome back due to problems he was causing behind the scenes. She thought USC should stay away also.

Of course, USC stayed away from drinker Ed Orgeron to hire Steve Sarkisian...

Yup. It's almost weird how Orgeron's name has remained so vividly tarnished in so many of the oldheads actually in the know or still in positions of power around the program. The specific incident or cumulative nature of his behavior really must've been reallllly bad.

That was always hilarious (human element aside) that USC opted for Ol' Cutty Sark. I have some friends around the Washington program that weren't surprised at all about how that blew up.

So then using your logic, the head coach is irrelevant. All that matters is the admin hiring a lot of top coordinators.
