OT - It keeps getting worse for Coach O (Slingblade)

[KingBarkus]

He set up an LLC in January 2017. The name?

"O" The Rosy Finch Boyz, LLC.

The boyz (sic) on Tiger Rant (tigerdrooppings) are having fun with it. I have waited a lifetime to see lsu implode like this.

I do like their reference to him as CEO. Good play(z).

When did Orgeron start a band?

Could you imagine the deep sigh the president let out after he signed that and everyone left his office?

This made me laugh..


"Is anyone else surprised it's not just a big X on the name line?"

For their lofty status in the football record books, LSU has made some incredibly bad hires over the years. Even Alabama has made some missteps in this department, but LSU has taken it to an art form. It's a testament to the pure talent pool in that state that they have overcome this for the most part.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Chris Landry has a really nice podcast on LSU and football coaching searches going back to when Joe Dean was their AD.

Link.

LSU has great taste in athletic talent, but horrible taste in head football coaches. Ed Ogre, Les Miles, Gerry DiNardo, Curley Hallman, Mike, Archer, Jerry Stovall. They did hire Saban and Cholly Mac, but everyone else was blah to horrible. Not a good batting average at all. With Louisiana talent, this school should have a slew of Natty championships by now.

 

[tatedog]

In my adult lifetime, Saban is the only one I recall leaving of his own accord. I don't remember the circumstances of Arnsparger though.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Arnsparger left LSU to become Florida's AD. Edit to add: Landry mentioned that he knew that Saban would leave LSU when Mark Emmert (current NCAA head) left LSU to be Washington's chancellor.

 

[tatedog]

Ok, then he makes two. Maybe it was my relative age at the time, because I remember Arnsparger being really old, possibly explaining an odd move like that.

Seen before with Gerry DiNardo, Curly Hallman.

 

[Shamoan]

he is going to make out like a bandit. his contract is basically rewarding him to be crappy.

 

[Chesusdog]

Even then we weren't ever able to capitalize on it. I think we go on a run for the next few years till thry clean house.

 

[tatedog]

All jokes aside, you have to wonder what school Alleva thought was going to poach Ed Orgeron if he didn't have a gigantic buyout. Orgeron would have crawled on hot coals from Houma to Baton Rouge to get a one year no guarantee shot at the job full time.

If he only got 5 mill a year to be mediocre.**

Cholly Mac got run off, with a record of 137–59–7, because he got beat more than he won against (ahem) Bama and OM. Old friend of mine remembered him saying "it'll be a long time before LSU wins like this again", and he was right.

Perhaps the greatest tribute to Saban isn't that he won a BCS Title at LSU, but that he set the table for Les Miles to win one.

Good argument. The real hero for the recent lsu championships is Sexton, the agent. The lsu hiring failures documented itt might have continued if not for Sexton. He approached Saban at Michigan State and sold him on the opportunity the lsu job was. No instate recruiting competition, great instate talent. Sexton set in motion the rise of lsu. I hate that guy.

To be fair, The Charley Mac years from 1962 - 1973 were very different than the ones from 1974 till he got fired. 16-20 in the SEC over 6 years should get you fired at LSU.

McClendon's 1973 team lost three games in a row, to Alabama, Tulane, and Penn State in the Orange Bowl, to end the season after starting 9–0. This was the Tigers' first loss to Tulane since 1948 and signaled the beginning of a decline. During McClendon's last six seasons at LSU (1974–1979), LSU had no appearances in the final AP Poll and compiled a record of 38–29–2 (.551 winning percentage). This included a 5-6 record in 1975—LSU's first losing season since 1957, and the only losing season McClendon suffered as head coach. The Tigers also lost to Tulane in 1979, but that was followed by a 34–10 victory over Wake Forest in the Tangerine Bowl, McClendon's final game at LSU.
