LSU Fans: Now what?

The more I learn about Coach O the man, the more I like him. Solid, down home family man who is living his Childhood dream as the home state boy.
Serious question, can he keep this up for 5-10 years? It will be interesting to see as he loses Burrow and others and when his coaching staff starts getting poached. It’s not as easy as it looks for one year. Looks like he knows how to hire and delegate, which so many HCs don’t know how to do (Malzahn). Will be a fun 2020 season.
Congrats on a phenomenal season.

LOL, didn’t even have time to read it and downvoted. Triggered after winning a NC. So predictable.

The shrimp boat captain turned out to be ok

It is nice knowing that you have a coach that isn't looking to go any further. He is where he wants to be.
Not saying he can't or that he doesn't have ambition, but when he says he has the job he wants you know it is true.
I think that is a feeling LSU fans haven't experienced in a long time.

Yep. Coach O will have LSU 15-0 every season for the next 10 years

With Oeaux at the helm LSU is set to shine for a long time. He is the perfect coach in the perfect setting and at the perfect time.

Just enjoying the present today, it's a nice feeling to carry the title "National Champs" for a while!

Watching the team this year, what stood out to me, aside from the obviously exceptional Burrow, is that it is a well coached and disciplined team, with really good chemistry. There wasn't a lot of bullshite drama or diva behavior on either side of the ball, and there is/was a lot of self policing by the players. At this point, Orgeron appears to be building a really solid, well run program. I think Tiger fans have good reason to be optimistic about continued success.

Any of my corndog bros that want to become bama or clemson are wrong...those that even imagine the word Dynasty are silly.
This feeling we are feeling today is because we don't have a Dynasty.
Uber-competitive 9 or 10-win seasons in the SECW with a natty run every 10 or so?
fricking
Yes, please.
The light wouldn't exist without the darkness. When winning becomes a job...frick all that. A Dynasty ruins the experience.

Why so many downvotes?
Seems to be pretty sincere and honest question.
I guess only time will tell. Obviously players will come and go but he's a great recruiter so the talent will always be there. The coaching changes will come one day and this is where I'm curious to see what he does or who we get when that does happen.
I think going forward will be compete at a high level however, it would be hard to repeat this season. It's easy to get to the top, the hard part is staying up there.

O built this team and if you pay attention to recruiting then you’ll see he’s still building
Posted on 1/14/20 at 12:27 pm to KingOfTheWorld
Well, he has a good roster now, recruiting is on point, the financial resources are there, the commitment to technology and analytics is way ahead of the game, the fan base is strong and united, the branding is elite and has never been higher...
So sure, the future looks bright. We basically now have a guy that is now a National Champion AND a lifetime LSU superfan who is coaching more for love than money and more for the glory of his state than himself. But look, we play you guys, Auburn and Florida every year as well as aggressively schedule home and home OOC games. So there will be ups and downs. I think we stay in the conversation and punch it out for playoff spots more years than not. But I don't see anything less than a championship a failure either. Life in the SEC WEST is a tough gig.

I think Coach O has changed the culture of football at LSU. He understands and appreciates the value of his assistant coaches. He allows them to do the job they were hired to do. In that, you have Joe Brady and Ensminger lighting it up every week and Aranda kicking the crap out of 3 straight top 10 teams to end the year. I don’t expect to win CFP titles every year. However, he is a monster recruiter and is not afraid to give people a change to prove themselves. I see him fielding a good team every year.

Good post king. That’s the trick I agree and why saban has been so damn good!

Who knows how much more he can accomplish. Seems to be trending in the right direction.

CEO has shown he is a great judge of coaching and player talent. This year will also produce a notch up in recruiting. Joe Brady hanging around 1-2 years more would/will be a huge deal.
I suspect the Tigers are honestly back in the elite circle for the longer term.
This year was actually not a fluke......

Who knows what the future holds. The SEC West is only getting better. Bama had an incredible run, but I don't see any team in the West winning the conference year after year.
O has a system in place that is out in front of everyone at present, possibly even Saban.
But, it takes the right talent, health and the intangibles to stay at a high level.
The Character of this team (as studied by those on the inside) is on par with our other National Championship teams.
Realistically, I see LSU in the discussion at least for the next 3-4 years. By then, Aranda and Brady will be gone and the players on this team, even the younger guys, will be gone. Can O continue to find high talent and high character players and develop those guys with a new staff?
It is the same question that all coaches are asked. Saban has done it, Dabo has done it, but will they continue? Time will tell.

Serious answer, yes. LSU will no longer be an easy out for Nick Saban or Bama. Those days are over. O is recruiting at a national championship level before he had a natty. Now, that natty is going to open a lot of doors for him.
