It really doesn't take into context the state of the program when each took over but it's technically accurate and they don't want to talk about Saban. IMO it's... kinda sad

Hopefully Herman hires a legit DC and doesn't just bring along his whole staff. We are way too conservative with our money sometimes. Just let him hire a million quality control guys like Bama does.

So, I have some thoughts about the hiring of Ed Orgeron as actual LSU head coach. First, I forbid everyone from talking about teams from Oregon for as long as Ed's in charge, because it's a pain in the rear end to scan through threads when that happens. Second, I don't think he was the best possible hire available this year. I also, however, don't think there was another hire that would have kept most of the coaching staff intact, or would have raised LSU into contention for National Championships. That's right, I don't think there was a coach available that could beat Saban. There, I said it. That makes Orgeron a reasonably priced holding pattern if he doesn't work out as LSU's long term solution. Every other significant coaching choice would have been too expensive for not enough results. Tom Herman is going to get a lot of money, and I don't think he'd have done well at LSU. Jimbo Fisher would have required pallets of cash, and it's no sure thing that he could solve the Saban rubric, and he probably would have dismissed the entire coaching staff in favor of his own people. So.. we're stuck with Ed Orgeron now, and I think it's a logical hire, even if it is a marriage of convenience. I don't think he'll have a long career at LSU, but I would welcome the opportunity to be pleasantly surprised.

The discussion of Orgeron from And the Valley Shook was actually really good: http://www.andthevalleyshook.com/2016/11/25/13745380/lsu-head-coaching-search-ed-orgeron very long and detailed read but I think it's pretty on point about the unique cost/benefits of Coach O

^^^ Why the gently caress would Holgerson leave WVU for a G5 team? Coaching searches are dumb - just hire Chad Morris or Kingsbury if he gets fired and call it a day.

There's a reason his first move after every game is to immediately grab his wife from the stands and bring her down on the field before anything else. She doesn't let him out of her sight. Alternative experience. He is a chill and funny guy, though I only met him briefly at some events around town and don't have *BOOSTER ACCESS*

The other issue is that Kyle Allen is going to graduate and could transfer without sitting out so he'll probably follow Herman to Texas.

Oh well, at least the players love Orgeron. It's nice that something worked out for the kids for once, even if I can't see him lasting that long. I'll still take O over late stage Les Miles. At least next year will have a new offense. That'll be fun for a while.

It's easy to tear down my post when you take such liberties with what was said in the post. I have no problem with him being hired, but when you're talking about a bidding war between two of college football's premier programs for such a coach, it seems reckless.
