U can't stand the Guy!! WTF is this garbage. He's our football coach. He ain't here to win most popular contest. He's here to figure out why we can't kick the ball in the endzone. So that's what he is doing. Next man up. There ain't no agenda!! If there is one, IT'S TO WIN A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!! U one stupid MOFO!! Get on board bitch. U might miss out on a fun ride.

Ed Orgeron has the great fortune to be gifted an elite program with elite talent through no merit of his own.
He never should have gotten this job and only did so through the miserable failure of this athletic department's administration.
However ...LSU does have two of the best coordinators in all of football and a loaded roster of talent to cover up Ed Orgeron's glaring inadequacies and lack of resume.
He is blessed that LSU is bigger than the HC and the state is full of talent that lives and breathes LSU Football.
So recruiting should take care of itself and the program that Saban and Miles established should be able to survive this for a while.
Hopefully ....until those coordinators leave.
But on the bright side...we upgraded from BBQ to gumbo!
ETA- I failed to mention what a wonderful orator Ed Orgeron is ...okay okay so maybe we upgraded there ?
Pffffft hahahahhaha ridiculous

I believe the plan is to kick it high and deep...close to the goal line and have coverage team keep them pinned inside the 20. Touch backs come out to the 25. Risk/reward scenario.
yea, but with our defense, there's essentially no difference between a team starting at their 25 or their 18. I'd just kick the damn ball out of the end zone and eliminate the risk of a big return. Give it to them on the 25 and let our defense do its thing.

While I like what I see from O so far, I think he is overly critical of Etling with no sense of confidence to balance it out.
Spurrier was publicly very critical of his QBs, and their offense was a juggernaut for a decade. I've never been a believer in "keeping all criticism in the locker room." This is big-time football, and criticism will come from the media, fans, and of course from the coaches. These players aren't snowflakes - they can handle it.

With that being said, I think it's ok for a coach to publicly critcize a player. Hell, sometimes the best way to handle it. However, that decision should be on a case by case basis and the HC better both know the player and his mentality very well and have a good relationship as an "educator" with him.

Sounds good. Just make sure you come up with new material throughout the year. Nothing worse than stale stuff that everyone's heard a few times before. Obviously, you can play the classics a few times, but just mix them in with the new material. Trust me. Good live comedy is the opposite of good live music. Nobody wants the band to try out songs from their NEW album, and nobody wants comedians to tell jokes from their OLD album.

He knows exactly why Les was fired, you think he's gonna do the same shite?

Nah, it's just you like Ed Orgeron so you assign a positive value to that behavior . Miles did that and he was throwing players under the bus and passing the buck because it's the coach's responsibility to have the players ready to perform . It's all perception designed to fit the pro Orgeron agenda.
You were probably one of those knuckleheads at halftime of a game that actually believed miles when he said they were gonna change some things in the second half

But it is bad when CPM holds his players accountable though right?
Posted on 9/6/17 at 3:23 pm to geauxcoco
true. Miles never liked to call out players at all.

It's only throwing players under the bus if you lose moron
Well, they both have about the same winning percentage at LSU, so which is which?
quote:
O never threw people under the bus in a loss.
If you're talking about specific games, I find that both guys tend not to blame players but themselves. I recall Miles often defending players and I expect O to do the same. It's part of what being a players coach is. I think both bring up issues primarily to motivate specific players, but I may be wrong.

Big difference between O and Miles
IMO it is primarily that one followed a coach who continued the elevation of the team that his predecessor had started (though that predecessor stumbled) and whose performance while at LSU was probably overestimated by a significant portion of the fan base. While the other followed a coach who continued that success though did not truly elevate it (albeit, the opportunity to do so was less) and whose performance while at LSU was probably underestimated by a significant portion of the fan base. If Saban does not go end up at Bama, Les Miles has at least one more NC, quite possibly 2 or 3, that is my belief.
I couldn't actually care less about any differences, though. I just want the Tigers to win.

I dont really see that but Ill ride with it.
Some people need to be challenged. When challenged they drive themselves hard to impress their mentors. They want appreciation and adulation from their superiors and will stop at nothing to get that even in the face of those same people shitting on them. In fact, its the shitting that drives them. If you push them they push back harder. These are hard heads that want to prove a point and if you handle them with kid gloves they wont excel or gain your respect because they see kids gloves as being weak.
The other type needs kids gloves. They get down on themselves when their superiors cut them down. They want praise but their spirit is broken when they dont get it. Being hard on these types causes them to withdraw. These types need constant praise in order to succeed. It lifts them up and gives them confidence.
I think the real difference between the two types is that the former has confidence and is looking to prove it. Tell them they cant and they will. The latter lacks confidence and needs a pat on the back. Give them a boost and they will climb to the mountain top.
CEO seems to know which players are what type.

Yet another anti-Miles thread
It's not an anti-Miles thread. How can we not, as a fan base, compare our current head coach to the former? Nearly everyone did the same shite when Les took over for Saban. It's inevitable

There's certainly a distinction to be made between holding players accountable and deflecting responsibility/throwing guys under the bus, but I'm not smart enough to define that across the board.
In this particular case, I like it and it feels refreshi

Are you referring to Bob Stoops?
Seems like you must be, well except for the 1/9 reference. His team wasn't playing that night.
