I have never cared about Missouri State football, I now hope they go 0-12 and get shutout every week. what total dirtbags they are to hire that POS

Scumbag school hires scumbag coach.

Shocker.

 

[djorange1989]

never thought I would say Petrino was a less sleazy choice than anyone, but certainly was in this case. still hope they go 0-12 and get shutout every game however, he still sucks greatly

We’re going to see how good of a coach Orgeron is after losing a ton of players and likely both coordinators...

I was already worried for them just losing their QB. He *clearly* was the difference and made it all possible.

 

[upperdeck]

He was close to getting fired just 2 yrs ago.. made a ton of changes and got the QB he needed and now all those pieces are gone. He could be back on the hot seat in a yr.

you make it sound like his tenure as been a net negative.

 

[upperdeck]

LSU fans have been way more negative then positive.. When we played them a few yrs ago they were not happy at all with him the fans I talked with in Baton rouge or New Orleans.

It's funny, I was kind of thinking the same. Had he gone 8-4 this year, I think he would have been gone. He's certainly safe for the foreseeable future, but, given how insane the SEC is, a few marginal years in a row and he will likely be done. Can he coach is the question. Many schools didn't think so, and he certainly benefitted from a top flight O & D staff this year, alongside potentially an all-world QB.

Which is really unfair to him. Look at the end of the day great players can make coaches look great. As uppereck said, this is a guy who was on the hotseat. We'll see how much leash he has now. Probably not much because those fans are insane. (literally insane. Etienne's family was getting death threats.)

 

[upperdeck]

always thought he was a position coach/motivator/recruitor more than a head coach guy. but when you recruit in the SEC/USC type places its already magnitudes easier to recruit..

Not like he brought in oodles of talent to SU but he brought a ton of passion and energy and helped SU while here but we were also peaking at that time.

 

[qdawgg]

I think I said this in the game thread, sort of tongue in cheek but not completely. Watch in 2 years they’ll have run him out of town.

 

[CuseLegacy]

Old coaches never stop coaching...or just showing up.

But isn’t that perfect for a HC? Bowden did it for years. Ed O just needs to recruit and motivate. Then hire great OCs and DCs. That is easier to do than replacing a HC entirely. A good HC will move on eventually, they almost always do. Ed O is an LSU lifer.

Helton could be without an OC and DC soon.
