While watching LSU last night, Musberger said he had talked to Orgeron about how Coach O had changed since his HC days at OM. Orgeron basically said that what had changed was that as first time HC he tried to control everything...offense, defense, etc. He didn't trust his coordinators to get the job done. He didn't let them do their jobs. He also said that as the OM HC, he treated all the players like he did the defensive line, ie, yelling and screaming at them to get them motivated. He found out the hard way that this doesn't necessarily work with QBs.

Tries to control everything?
Won't let the OC or DC do their job?
Doesn't get players motivated during the game?
Sound like someone we all currently know?
Maybe its a first time HC thing?

Dan could learn a thing or two from Coach O.

I also think he probably has a better supporting staff at LSU

Dan Mullen is light years ahead of Orgeron v 1.0 that's a ridiculous statement

Let's not forget that Orgeron was 1 stupid decision from returning to Ole Miss and coaching that 2008 team that Nutt did well with. Who knows what would have happened at that point.

Coach O v 2.0 seems much matured since his time at OM. He has performed admirably in his 2 turns as an interim HC. If he's available and Mullen is gone Coach O should be a serious candidate for our job.

Im still thinking about all the jackasses who did not want him as our DC.

Orgeron, Cutcliffe, and Houston Nutt ALL succeeded at every placed they coached....except at olemiss. I think it has more to do with the natural inferiority of the Rebel fan base.
