It's too easy to make fun of Orgeron.

I agree. My prediction he's fired and puts LSU on probation. We keep Skip and staff past next year and beat LSU in 2018 and Orgeron is fired and Tech begins their dominance as the best football school in the state of Louisiana. Book it!

I like your thinking

Ogeron tried the "Bear Bryant" approach when he was at Ole Miss. He worked his players' tails off in training camp and by mid-season every year, they were all so worn down that they could no longer perform at a high level. He says he won't do that at LSU. We'll see. Some people actually do get a little wiser with age, but as is often demonstrated on this forum, some do not.

I'll take that! Then maybe we can host them here again like in the early 1900s (you think Southern brought a lot of fans)

Hmmm, what did Bear Bryant do differently so that it worked for him? Forgive me for my ignorance...

How can losing a coach to lsu be an upgrade?

I think most everybody assumes the new lsu HC coach is the real deal.

I thought the beginning of the thread said he was coming to TECH!!

Bryant had better athletes to start with. When I said the "Bear Bryant" approach, I was referring to the Bear's early years at A&M, where half his team would barely make it through training camp. In later years, even Bear Bryant learned that you had to leave enough gas in the tank to make it to the end of the season.

For what it's worth, I was quoting Ogeron himself. In an interview with the Baton Rouge Advocate during LSU's coaching search, Ogeron said he ran too tough a training camp while at Ole Miss, and that his teams had no legs by mid season.

And Bear had what, 150 scholarship players back then?
