I mean he's already 1-0 against you sure they do, especially professionally. Not many people are the same as they were 10 years ago. He's already talked extensively about having learned from how he approached his first HC job
Bank is looking to hire a new president. Potential new president is asking for more money than they wanted to spend. Bank teller stands up and says I want the job. They give it to him because he wanted the job, not the money. That's how ridiculous this is.
Like I said, if y'all are in a bowl in three years he will have completed the greatest individual turnaround in sports history. I don't have any ill will toward the man. I just remember how unprecedentedly awful of a coach he was.
I'm sure Coach O has really grown a ton professionally. Guy is still a prima donna and he doesn't exactly seem to be on the cutting edge of football philosophy
I think Ole Miss fans are just preemptively angry that a coach they fired would end up at a rival school and actually do well. That's a very "Ole Miss" thing to happen to them.
I know that it must suck to have to endure a shitty coaching tenure only to have your bitter rival hire him and have him be successful. All the while, your school is still stuck with the same schtick of bringing in talent only to have it never translate to the field
While it would be a very, very "Ole Miss" thing to happen, it ain't happening. He's as bad as it gets. Y'all warned us about Nutt and were right, but Nutt was 10x the coach of Orgeron. The conference has never seen a worse football coach than Orgeron.
the Ed O hired as LSU HC thread is -18 on their board http://lsu.247sports.com/Board/5942...Ed-Orgeron-to-be-the-next-head-coach-49264744
Paul Mainieri to be named AD in the next year or so LSU will be the biggest joke of an athletics department in the nation at that point
Very True. Tommy Tuberville left Ole Miss after only winning more than 6 games once and won a national championship at Auburn
Guess this is a #hottake but I think he'll do well. He was really bad at Ole Miss, but coaches can learn and change as they mature. Hard to think of a guy who's a better cultural fit at a program than he is, and as long as he's not stubborn in regards to his OC I think they'll instantly be more dangerous than Miles had become in the last 2-3 years.
Freeze's worst year included one fewer SEC win than Orgeron had in three years combined. He had as many wins in 2015 as Orgeron had in his entire tenure at Ole Miss. He'll never be anything more than a high school coach, but he's still remarkably better than Orgeron.
When was the last time a coach who was so bad at first job ended up being successful in his second gig?
No idea, but I'm guessing if there is, it's a short list. It's absolutely a risky hire and it's perfectly reasonable to believe he'll be middling at best.
My favorite Orgeron moment was when he held a full contact scrimmage during a lightning delay against Wake in 2006.
That is just too funny. It reminds me of my lacrosse coach my freshman year of HS. We lost to a nationally ranked opponent who won multiple state titles on their field. He made us run sprints on their field after losing as their fans continued to heckle us. The AD fired him Lane Kiffin style as soon as the bus got back to school.
