Doesn’t seem to me that O left the program in terrible shape, if we were playing in Atlanta the next season.


Wrong

Year 1 of the BK era was probably the best coaching job of his career.

Taking what he inherited and rebuilding a roster that won the SECw was nothing short of miraculous

Sadly that was as good as it was going to get for him

Easily Coach O we had what 35 scholarship players?


At least those 35 were good/elite. They gave BK his best season, the more BK got his players in, the worse the team got.

BK. Culture worse. Softer.


Just the opposite. O left a toxic culture and an empty cupboard.

BK was able to build a D but completely neglected the offense. I think he thought it would just miraculously materialize.

Coach O for letting that twat Ryan Clark in to split that locker room!


I wonder if that’s why Kelly didn’t really want any of the former players coming around.

If O is your answer, Name the top two players Kelly left.

Orgeron left Thomas and Nabers

Which two players that Kelly recruited and developed, that will be playing next season?

Losing to K-state 42-20 with a WR playing QB isn’t even close to losing to a ranked Houston Team by 3 points

Anyone saying BK is just a prisoner of the moment.

The answer is O, by a lot

Orgeron had been gone for a while. Fired Mid Season.
That was Woody and Brad Davis' Team. The same Brad Davis that you guys have learned to love.

Literally all he did was go out and get a QB. That’s all he needed to bring LSU to Atlanta. Lane has far more work cut out for him than BK did when he first got here. O got the hell out of there before things got too bad. BK never fixed things and the state of the program only got worse.

He coached the team until the end of regular season. Did not coach the bowl game. That was Brad Davis only game as interim.
