swickles posted:Les still has Cam Cameron to fire/blame for his woes. Can't blame the guy you lobbied to keep for your failures. And it's not like the offense was good before Cam. go3 posted:wont firing Les cost them a fortune It'll be around 4 million by the end of the season, so no, not that much. Grittybeard posted:Yeah, but they have a fortune to spend (or could beg it from boosters) if they should decide to do that. If the team keeps playing like that, particularly on offense, he's absolutely gone. And it will, because that's what Les Miles teams look like.

MourningView posted:If I were Jimbo I would definitely be desperate to leave a great job that has had two coaches in the last like 50 years for one that is in a more difficult conference, isn't a significant upgrade in anyway, and where the standard for keeping your job is winning multiple national titles. I don't actually think he would leave FSU, but there was a lot of smoke around it last year. But then I also laughed when Michigan fans said they were going to steal Jim Harbaugh from the NFL, and here we are. Sometimes people make weird choices for non-obvious reasons.

Les was great for the program but it was time to move on. Hopefully they can make hire that's not a disaster, but I don't have high hopes. With the money they are willing to spend it should certainly be possible, but the AD is a god damned retard.

MourningView posted:oh well ok then Like I said, I don't want Briles either. I just think LSU fans and media give Miles a bit of a pass because he's really likable and seems like a genuinely good guy, but things like letting the players vote on keeping Jeremy Hill on the team after he jumped a guy in a bar parking lot was kind of gross, especially given that Hill already had a sexual battery charge coming into LSU.

kayakyakr posted:A&M is a strange case. They started both 2015 and 2014 5-0 and lost 5 of their last 8. Tennessee, Bama and Ole Miss are the only games left on their schedule that should be competitive. Their defense is improved and it seems like they've fixed some of their offensive issues from last year. I think he will be fine.

Scionix posted:so LSU fans; you fired the guy for recruiting incredible players and fielding a shiiiiiiiiiiitttttttt offense and being a general on-field buffoon, this I understand. Maybe? Probably? I mean, it's going to depend on the hire obviously, but pretty much every team in the SEC recruits well now, and even under Dinardo LSU did a good job of recruiting. There are definitely a lot of natural recruiting advantages at LSU so top 10-15 classes should be doable at least. Whatever happens it will at least be different, which will be nice.

A.o.D. posted:I dunno, Coach O is making his case. The things that got Les fired are the things that Orgeron seems to be fixing. The offense isn't one dimensional any more, and the team makes very obvious adjustments during the game. Between Houston's swoon and Coach O's winning, the LSU AD ought not to make pursuing Herman it's sole focus. I mean, if they think he's their guy, buy all means put together a package and woo him, but they might have a replacement in house. He's improved the offense because it would be almost impossible for it to have gotten worse. They are running a new scheme that teams have very little tape on and have had limited time to prepare for, so they are doing very well, particularly given the low level of competition they've faced so far. I'm not really prepared to hand the keys to the kingdom to a guy based on three games (or even a half a season) when his last head coaching stint was such a disaster. I'd like a coach that has proven that they can handle the requirements of being a head coach at some level, meaning all of the requirements. Recruiting, assembling a staff, keeping players motivated for a whole year, etc... It's pretty naive to think that the right guy was secretly there all along, right under our noses. When has a mid season interim/turned full head coach actually not ended in mediocrity?

John Gruden doesn't want to coach your stupid lovely football team and John Harbaugh isn't leaving the NFL team he won a Super Bowl with to coach your garbage fire program, you aren't hiring a proven first tier coach because those guys are already at top programs getting paid a lot of money and they aren't going to leave just because Texas came calling.

I'd be pretty shocked if the boosters who got Miles fired are going to be satisfied replacing him the Ed Orgeron, regardless of how the rest of the seasons goes.

Raku posted:It would be insanely stupid of LSU to openly court another coach during Orgeron's last few games if they don't want the whole class to evaporate and the team to quit I mean, they weren't recruited on the assumption that Orgeron was going to be their coach, so I'm not sure why it would matter if it becomes obvious that he's not. And the season is effectively over anyway, all that's left to play for is a middling bowl game.

LSU is going to go all in on Jimbo, miss out on Herman and Fleck and whoever else is promising, then not get Jimbo and end up with, like, Brady Hoke or something, and pretend that's who they wanted all along.

BI NOW GAY LATER posted:I don't think anyone who know the climate at Texas thought he was a good fit. I am fairly certain if you go look through the thread, a lot of us -- including me -- said it was going to be a big flop because he does not have the personality for that job. How does his personality make it so that he can't put together a defense that doesn't give up 50 points to everyone they play? People thought he'd be a bad fit because he wouldn't schmooze the boosters and take the public facing parts of the job seriously enough, not because his teams would be hopeless garbage.

whiteyfats posted:That's not terrible, and they usually go to a bowl game. Arkansas is a small state without a lot of people, so they probably know not to expects eleven or twelve wins every year. They were legitimately good during the Petrino years and I imagine most fans would like to see a return to that and not, say, randomly losing to Toledo and alternating solid performances with inexplicably terrible ones.

Leaf Lock posted:Wasn't LSU just threatening to shut down the football program because they were poor? How did we make it here so quickly? The new governor said that mostly to scare people about the seriousness of the budget shortfall Jindal left him with because a sizable portion of the state doesn't care about LSU the educational institution but cares deeply about LSU the football program and doesn't seem to realize that you can't have the second without the first. It was never a serious threat though and this costs the school nothing because the boosters are footing the bill.

Dr. Gitmo Moneyson posted:Wasn't ESPN also the network that claimed Charlie Strong was fired several days ago? It's not a done deal, but LSU is prepared to make a hire on Saturday while Texas will still be waiting to play and decide if they want to fire their coach. That's a pretty serious advantage and obviously things have progressed pretty far if we're seeing these reports.

Spacebump posted:Bill doesn't consider that good restaurants better prepare Chefs for success. Much like USC and LSU historically better prepare their coaches for success than Ole Miss. Orgeron was significantly worse an Ole Miss than other coaches have been there. And being an interim is not the same as being a long term head coach. Different responsibilities and priorities.

Spacebump posted:In a fictional world with only two choices: Would you rather have Coach O or Les Miles as LSU's hc for the next two seasons? I'd rather have Orgeron because at least he's willing to try new things on offense. But we don't live in a fictional world, so I'd prefer we look at head coaches that haven't been abject failures during their last stints as a head coach.

LSU is throwing themselves at him while Texas is dithering over whether they'd like to hire him or keep their coach that lost to Kansas. That probably matters to a super competitive type of person. Also, wanting to get a decision made quickly to keep recruiting from falling apart wherever he ends up. I mean, who really knows, but right now Texas still has a coach and LSU has a job opening.

If Texas loses to TCU then Charlie is obviously gone immediately but if they win it may not be so cut and dry.
