Ed Orgeron Loves USC, No LSU

Posted on by

 

orgeron-lsuAt his press conference right now, Ed Orgeron said the LSU job “is the greatest job in America.” Didn’t he say USC was the greatest job in America?

If Orgeron is successful, Pat Haden might have to enter a Witness Protection Program. Or a better one than he is currently enrolled in.

    • The difference between Cal and UCLA. No difference. Both UC schools with the same fight song. Although Cal had it first. But neither has a football tradition.

  2. Ed Orgeron is from Louisiana, so I’m sure he thinks it’s the best college football job in America. Nick Saban certainly thinks so, because he said LSU can easily pull talent from the south, and Texas. I hope Orgeron focuses on the running game, because he has a great offensive line, led by former NBA great, Carl Malone’s son. And not to mention, they have the best running back in college.

    • Go Ed! He’s one of the greatest BS Wild Boy artists in the history of college football. He won’t be able to BS the LSU hierarchy unless they can’t land Herman or some other monolithic guy like Petrino or Kelly. Of course, that’s always possible, I guess. But if not, hope Ed doesn’t get too attached to the head man’s desk, because all those people in the South remember Ole Miss and what he did to the Rebels. Tiger fans would never go for a dose of that.

      I’m betting Ed won’t trash the AD’s office this time when he gets passed over after his cookie hand-out. I’m happy he gets to play interim again, though. It’s a nice little perk at this stage.

      • Jack, the AD at LSU is a complete knucklehead who presided over the Duke LAX fiasco. He may hire “Cheesecake” Charlie Weiss and his Decided Schematic Advantage playbook. His name is Joe Avela, and he was a disaster at Duke. Maybe he and Kiffin should go on tour on how to fail upward.

      • He justifiably trashed PH when he found out Sark was the replacement. If you were in Coach O’s shoes, Jack be quick, I could imagine your kissing PH’s sweet ____,J B, outspoken BS Wild Man and poor shot.

        • He didn’t trash PH. He didn’t say anything about PH. The story is told via backroom rumors.

      • Trash the AD’s office? It’s amazing how embellished and creative these stories get over time.

    • And the Dr. Rachel Maddow of Inside USC also predicted Bryce Dixon would return to USC in August 2015.

    • That’s the image “problem” Orgeron will face when trying to become a head coach. He will always be measured against younger, flashier, “genius” candidates.

      Also, Les Miles was kind of a more “evolved” Orgeron. Why hire a coaching type who has an almost identical “style” as the one you fired. LSU under Miles played a physical, punishing style of defensive-oriented football. He was fired because his offenses were primitive, and he could not develop a quarterback.

      LSU is going to be looking at candidate who can promise a more sophisticated offense, or at least one who can develop a quaterback.

      • I G. You are ignoring the fact that Coach O asked Jeff Tedferd to be his offensive coordinator. almost the very day he was named Inter HC of Trojan Football. Coach O wanted Helton out. IMO , each of your three paragraphs are trash. Of course, anyone not from your hometown i.e. Mitch Mustain, John David Booty, Coach O, and now Max Browne ain’t no good. Coach O’s teams knelt and prayed in Jesus Christ’s Holy Name during practice and following each game. IMO, Coach O’s Christian commitment was the AD’s unspoken reason for refusing to consider Orgeron for the top job. The AD = Proud father of a homosexual son. Think about it. The drunk, adulterer Sark was perfect…….2+2 !

      • Tom Herman is happy where he is, running a number 6 program in a place where he has deep, deep roots.

        • Deep roots? I don’t know about that bruh. He spent his college years at Cal Lutheran. No disrespect, but Houston is a pit stop. Kevin Sublime, Arthur Briles, all had to move on to bigger and better gigs. Herman might not end up at SC, but he’s bouncing on Houston.

    • You don’t have the slightest idea, Maam. You’re just blowing prejudicial smoke like so many others. . For the record, I hope Coach O has a long successful career as HC of one of the SEC”s Top Four Programs.

  5. I told everyone Petrino, Petrino, Petrino…. His son could have dated PH’s son and everyone in LA could be happy. But no, they wouldn’t listen. Malzahn is not the worst OC, he just seems to be over his head as a HC, and I’m not a huge fan of his style of football for SC. We lost to a good HC candidate in our last game actually- maybe he can reunite with Norm and come to SC, they worked well together before.

  6. Orgeron probably did love USC then. But idiot Haden treated Ed like crap and now he doesn’t. Understandable.

    • Miles was a second-tier coach. Helton is still mostly an unknown as a head coach. Not much to discuss.

      Helton is a better man, though.

  9. Come on, I doubt PH cares anything about this. The millions he was gifted as AD are safely tucked away in his bank account. You talk about someone’s ship has come in, you have to include PH in any storied example.

    • “Wonder what Coach O would do if LSU hires Sark? Join ISIS perhaps?”

      Laugh his head off at LSU’s foolishness. Luckily, LSU isn’t likely to go that route.

  11. Pat Haden must already be in the Federal Witness Protection Program…I swear I just saw him disguised as the Notre Dame leprechaun.

  12. I’m pulling for coach O to do a fantastic job at LSU. He deserves another chance. He should have gotten his 2nd chance at SC. But there’s another reason why I want him to succeed big. If they decide to hire someone else, I have a sneaky feeling that it’s going to be Tom Herman. Their DC is Dave Aranda who is Tom Hermans best friend. They were roommates at Cal Lutheran. If we want him, we’d better go after him with no holds barred because LSU is probably going to offer him the bank.
