and he'll get Layne as O cord?? Or will college O cord start getting paid $2,000,000
FC. The O getting the LSU job? Did I hear that right?
- Thread starter sluggo72
- Start date
Quite possible. LSU is in it to win it and Kiffin's not getting very much love in his quest to be a head coach. It would make for great SEC drama.
College Gameday just confirmed reports in LA newspapers that Coach O will be LSU head coach
I for one am rooting for Coach O. I have no allegiance to him and never heard of him until he was interim at USC a while back, but I think he deserves a second chance to be a full time head coach and am really tired of "hot shot" coaches (Tom Herman, PJ Fleck) getting the jobs over other coaches that have put in the time and are a better fit. Coach O is both a good fit and has put in the time. He is from LA, so nobody would have better connections and seems willing to let someone else take control of the offense.

Wasn't he responsible for some shady things at a previous school? He will fit in perfectly in the SEC
Well, that Tom Herman 'done deal' to LSU report that was supposed to be wrapped up by today died real quick.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised considering we have seen, all too well, how incompetent and lazy the news/ sports media is. They are more concerned with getting a sensational headline than getting the facts correct.
I guess this makes the Texas fans happy (i.e. relieved) that they can get Herman and won't be stuck with Strong for another year.
Would not shock me for a second if Kiffin leaves Bama for LSU. That's sort of his MO- leave 1 school while irritating the locals as much as possible. Tennessee to USC to Bama to LSU (??).
Kiffin's a pachyderm. Herman is about to win a big lottery.Well, that Tom Herman 'done deal' to LSU report that was supposed to be wrapped up by today died real quick.

Yeah - his rap sheet is pretty long and not surprised LSU would give him the keys to the castle:
In 1991 as an assistant at Miami, (wikipedia) “a "permanent injunction of protection" was granted to a woman by a Dade County court against Orgeron prohibiting "any act of domestic violence." Orgeron was ordered into a 26-week domestic violence counseling program.”
In 1992, still an assistant at Miami, he was arrested in a bar fight in Baton Rouge. You know something is wrong when you’ve done five years at Miami, then get back into coaching after a year hiatus at Nichols State.
At Southern Cal earlier this decade, Orgeron was THE recruiting coordinator while Reggie Bush made off with that $100K.
At Ole Miss, Orgeron’s very first meeting with the team, he referenced his own new players as MF’s. In the heat of the moment, that’s not even acceptable. Would it be okay for a history professor to tell his class, first day, “All you MF’s are going to learn a lot in this history class”?
After Hurricane Katrina, with Tulane’s program in shambles (before they were able to share facilities with Louisiana Tech, and thus keep playing the season), Orgeron called Greg Davis’ son, and Tulane assistant, and tried to begin poaching players for Ole Miss from the Tulane program. Davis turned him in. Nothing ever came of it after Orgeron pretended he didn’t know it was a violation.
Highly ticked Tulane head coach Chris Scelfo said of Orgeron, "there's people in our business who do not belong in our business". Scelfo was correct.
At Tennessee all the sudden - Orgeron having only been there a year - six “minor” NCAA violations for the Vols.
Finally, after leaving Tennessee, Orgeron called early recruits at Tennessee, trying to recruit them to USC…after they were already technically enrolled at Tennessee. Had he forgotten the rules he had already learned after his own Tulane scandal?
Emmert must be distraught at this development. What about his legacy of honor and integrity? Tragic.
Yeah and they give a trainer at ND a two yr must show suspension. The NCAA ? What a joke

Awesome book
Wow, I didn't know any of that. I don't follow other programs unless its something that impacts Penn State in some way. On Sirius , they refer to his tenture as HC at Ole Miss as a negative, but don't ever mention details. I had assumed that they just weren't competetive. If he's this much of a dirt bag, then I wish he wouldn't have gotten the job.
All that being said, I'm have to disagree about your quote below. He is not a history teacher, and whether civilized, refined people like it or not, there is a time and a place for vulgar language. In fact, Bill Obrien seems to be someone who wouldn't be above calling his players MFers. Weren't you in the Army? Did you not get called every name in the book while in basic training and likely beyond that? I guess maybe the types of training/units I was exposed to may not have been typical for all, but I would be surprised to hear that anyone serving in the military would be offended by this type of language in a team meeting.

Ha ha - that wasn't my quote; it was part of the text I copied and pasted in the post. I'm absolutely not offended by such colorful language. Sorry for the confusion.
I didn't think an MFer like you would be offended... LOL
