quote:


Ed Orgeron: Orgeron climbs 26 spots to No. 4 in our rankings, and gosh, I just can't figure out why that happened! Maybe it has something to do with winning a national title last year with what might have been the greatest team in college football history? That's just a theory, though. OK, in all sincerity, Orgeron is a fantastic story. Nobody thought he'd be a head coach again after his failure at Ole Miss, and many believed LSU blew it when they missed out on Jimbo Fisher and then Tom Herman, instead retaining Orgeron full-time after a stint as interim coach. But Orgeron did something so few people are capable of accomplishing. He not only recognized his past mistakes, but he actively went out of his way to solve them. He looked at his program, saw the shortcomings and found ways to improve it. Then he reaped the rewards. 2019 rank: 30 (+26)


But tSECr told me only LSU fans think that.

Nick Saban had a Heisman QB lead him to a national championship in 2003?

He did. Very good. But what were the differences between Orgeron's first national championship and Saban's first national championship? Saban built his team into a balanced, championship caliber team utilizing a "process" he had invented several years before. Orgeron inserted a QB who allowed him to outscore everyone.

Is that sustainable? Perhaps. But I think it rather obvious that LSU was a 9-3 team without Burrow last year based on how competitive some of those games were. Remove Tua Tagovailoa and have Mac Jones start the entire season and Alabama is likely 11-1 or 12-0 with a Burrow-less LSU team.

LSU was an 8-5 team the year prior when Saban's starting QB, the same 25 year old who started for his national championship team, got hurt.

So you're saying Orgeron fixed what everyone had been saying for over a decade...that LSU having a modern offense and competent QB is what had been holding held them back.

I get it, you are a Bama fan and have to find some way to minimize the significance of what LSU accomplished to feel better.

Probably not #4. He still wasn't that highly regarded after that, which makes the asinine contract JJ gave him even more puzzling.

Lincoln Riley and Brian Kelly are both so far off the mark it isn't funny....neither have accomplished much of anything. Riley has made the playoff but 5 teams in the SEC not named Alabama would have made it in that conference as would ALabama…..ND is just not a great program.

SToops at UK is pretty impressive. Kats definitely heading upwards.

Brian Kelly over Kirby is odd.

Especially considering Kelly is 0-2 vs Smart.

Soooo he recruited a QB, hired a coach to install a new offense, scored a ton of points, won every game and won a national championship? What a dumbass!

bullshite! With the defense Bama had, they could easily fall to 8-4. The refs kept the Tennessee and South Carolina games close until Bama could get into a rythm. Those are easily losses without Tua.
