re: Tell me why Coach O is different from Gene Chizik

Gene Stallings failed some as a head coach as well.

Orgeron seems to be a great recruiter and has identified and hired great assistant coaches.

Chiz is a nice man and some stuff went down that basically was not in his total control.
Gus recruited QBs. None of them were even close to good enough to compete in SEC.

Loefler, the wizard who made Tom Brady, was perhaps the worst hire in football history.
