How long will he last at LSU? My guess is not long.

I think that it's a great move.

Nobody has more passion for LSU than Coach O.

That's true, but problem is, "passion", the ability and willingness to work hard and motivate players, only goes so far. Gerry Faust had tremendous passion for Notre Dame, so did Charlie Weiss, and both were crummy coaches.

What separates the great coaches is the football brain. Guys like Saban and Meyer have football IQs of 170+. And it looks like Herman might be up there with them.

Orgeron looks like a 120-130 guy. Heck, Les Miles was a 140 guy and he was routinely outsmarted by Saban in the big games.

They should have paid the $$$ for Herman....

I do not think it would matter....IMO Herman has wanted Texas all along.

Who is this Les Miles? When it came to game day, LSU's coach was about 80 IQ.

Ed O will be fine. He will hire Kiffen and Sark.

Charlie Strong has been fired. Strong went 16-21 in 3 seasons as the Texas head coach.

I think Fedora would have been the best move at LSU, but Orgeron at least has the Louisiana ties.

so looking next year- LSU has a good schedule early.....
BYU neutral site game
Chatanooga 2nd game
@ Miss St
Syracuse
Troy

but then October-November nasty. @ Florida, Auburn, @ Ole Miss, bye, @ Alabama, Arkansas, @ Tennessee, and Texas A&M.
