Here Is Everything Ed Orgeron Said At His Monday Press Conference - Sept. 18

This is the same guy that coached Ole Miss. The only difference I see in him is that he's learned exactly what to say to keep the attention off of him. His next move will be the " forget about this season I'm getting these freshman quarterbacks ready and recruiting bigger lineman". Whatever! With any luck both he and Etling will be sacked together

If I remember correctly, Coach O didn't recruit while he was the interim coach. He waited till after he got the job and then hit the recruiting trail hard. Several players lost due to that recruiting delay this past year. Not happy about last weekend but I still don't think we've seen this staff and this team at full strength yet. Season starts over, 2 win-able games coming up and then a "prove us wrong" game at Florida.

Reading all these comments.....it'll happen next year! Amirite?

Mostly everyone expects O to pop LSU in the microwave and have a championship team. Smh. Maybe just maybe we give him a shot at running the program and let him fix the issues. Maybe it works maybe it won't but you also have to understand if you fire him, you have a 12 mil buyout plus all of the coaches at the school walk out as well. Then you have the risk of no great or close to great coach coming in to a disaster/dumpster fire cause of previous leadership and all that has happened over one year. Would you want to come to LSU if you knew you weren't successful after one year the fan base calls for your head?

Saban lost to ULM his first year at Bama.

I'm amazed how people cannot look at things objectively. There are significant problems and weaknesses on the roster. You can't expect to change the entire culture with regard to QB's with a hire and no chance to recruit. Ed O can't turn water into wine on the OL, LB, and DL. He may not have been the right answer (to be determined), but at least be objective enough to acknowledge the problems with the roster and give him a chance to recruit and try and solve problems that were put in his lap on day one. I'm on the fence with him as a hire, but dam, he's doing everything he can to turn things around. Much more than the stagnant coach before him.

The program has a coach in his first year as the HC, also an offensive coordinator in his first year. We lost a lot of leadership/experience to the draft this past year. We looked like a bunch of freshmen playing their first time big game in college because that's exactly what it was. Yes we have loads of young talent, but there will be growing pains this year. You don't lose the talent and experience we lost and not take a step back. Still a lot of football left to play this year. SEC seems down this year if we improve a little each week and get some guys healthy we will be fine. Not all is lost.

It really is a simpleton's approach to think that running a kid is gonna improve anything. Perhaps stamina, that's all. It ain't gonna make them any less of a dumbass.

Orgeron said #LSU players were in the football building Sunday morning on their day off watching film, working out. "You see the leadership" Nice. I'm sure Donnie Alexander was the first one there watching film and working out. What a leader. GTFO

Done with Orgeron already. He was never the guy for this job, and we're paying the price for his incompetence and Alleva's stupidity. We need to fricking fire Alleva NOW, then get rid of Orgeron right after.

Wasn't Orgeron the previous recruiting coordinator?

We need more OLs and DLs. It has become a serious problem and one of the trademarks of recruiting under Miles was him recruiting just the bare minimum of linemen. Now with Shelvin out, Ed Alexander out, Herron whatever, Neil Farrell ejected, Arden Key slowed, and Rashard Lawrence out it has reached meltdown proportions on Defense. On Offense we lost several who transferred. I have never seen anything like this.

How about we teach them technique. Running as punishment is dumber than dirt. Execution and attention to detail yields fewer penalties

Who has recruited the D Line the past few seasons? The man making the excuses himself

definitely need more bodies at dl.
