On TR it seems everyone is hating on Eaux.

Has something new happened to exacerbate LSU fans’ chronic discontent?

The ratio has turned heavily toward the Negatiger side recently. Probably roux-related more than anything.

Pretty easy to see IMO, the ones that take the P&G glasses off can see that they are trendign down while opponents are trending up, and there isn't a TON go get fired up about. They have a coach that is in WAY over his head, makes questionable coordintaor hires, and now isn't even recruiting that well which was supposed to be his MO.

That's one thing on the face of it. But combine that with the fact bama is still bama as long as saban is there, west rival A&M just snagged a major HC upgrade, east perma-opponent just made a move to make themselves better, and UGA looks to be elite going forward.

I say all that simply to answer your question, not to "talk shite". It just seems like LSU is kind of walking in quick sand while their peers are on the fast track. I feel the exact same way about UGA basketball fWIW.

He was obviously trolling. Some of you people are so dumb.

No, but signing day reaffirmed the disaster that is Orgeron

Some of his main selling points as a HC has fallen by the wayside with 1 year under his belt as HC. I'm not yet ready to proclaim it the end of times but it doesn't seem like we're headed in the right direction as of now.

He'll hire the best coordinators
Steve Ensminger may not be a bust for us but he's far from what most would consider the best anything, let alone OC.

He'll let the coaches coach
The Troy debacle and issues with Matt Canada seem to imply otherwise

He's a great recruiter
Although we're gaining much needed depth on both lines, we have the lowest recruiting ranking in over 10 years this year.

I think that every positive about O has proven to be false or a lie.

1.He said he would hire the best Coordinators and Canada flamed out after 1 year and he replaced him with his friend Esminger.

2. He was sold as an elite recruiter and LSU missed out on some prospects.

3. Texas A&M hired Jimbo.

That seems to be where most of the unrest is stemming from.

I think they are realizing their administration has given up on football in the short term and went with a cheap lazy hire in Ogeron.

Pretty much. He’s a fraud that got in tight with a BR radio member who has gotten his boys to jump on the train.

He’s a genius in that fact. Everything else that goes along with being a HC he is terrible at, though

When Orgeron was hired, the breakdown was below:

- 20% of fanbase hated the hire (me included)
- 40% of fanbase wasn’t sure about the hire but hoped he some how change from his ole miss days.
- 40% of fanbase can’t see anything negative through their purple glasses and think he’s the best just because he is LSU’s coach.

But now, the 40% that was hopeful are now realizing it’s going bad.

I was discontented the day they hired him and I am still discontented. He has done absolutely nothing to change my mind either

In a thread that may have been a troll due to it coming from one of the lesser posters on this site, the answers have been surprisingly accurate and well-informed.

WG_Dawg, you hit the nail on the head. Great response!

Not really. I was here for that.

Cautious/pessimistic, but not discontented

Miles had a decent track record at OK St, and wasn't the worst coach in Ole Miss's football history

Orgeron is who we (the LSU fans with a brain, that is) thought he was.
