A Cajun accent is no different than a British, Italian, Australian, Spanish, Irish, Russian, Indian, Nigerian, and Liberian or Midwestern accent.

Coach O youtube video.

I had never heard Coach O speak until I watched this video. I now understand what some have said about his communication skills. This is disturbing.

_ And your reasons are????? _

If the Cajuns had any true interest in hiring him, they would have done it last year when the opportunity was there. There are too many issues with him to pay that type of money and have it backfire in the program's face. They aren't going to hire Orgeron.

I agree.

_ Well, besides having a reputation of a great recruiter, which didn't seem to work at Ole Miss, he hasn't shown to be that great a coach. Also, when I listened to him on the radio, I didn't get a very good impression of him. He's not the kind of coach I'd like to see take over our program. Yes, he had good def. lines in college but when he was the Saints D-line coach, they showed no improvement, and may have gotten worse than the year before. _

Saban sucked at Miami too. You can't make a single comparison to what goes on at the NFL level and college. It is entirely different. You are taking highschool graduates and working them, as a unit, for 4 to 5 years. There is nothing whatsoever similar in the NFL.

Also, he did recruit well for Ole Miss. Ole Miss was in serious decline and he did get them a burst of good recruits. You cannot blame him for results he has nothing to do with.

I'm not pushing for "O", but I haven't seen a good argument yet against the guy for UL. I'm watching and listening and feel a bunch of people on here are indicting him on BS from fan forums of other programs. If he cannot get our program winning, then I don't want him. No one on this forum has given any such evidence.

As far as hearing him speak, his public speaking is better than Stokley, Bustle and Baldwin... I assure you of that. Just because a bunch of rednecks and hillbillies at Ole Miss and Tennessee made fun of his accent does not justify any of us doing it.

I'll let Scott Farmer decide if "O" belongs on the short list.

Orgeron is making a million dollars a year at USC. He has a five year contract.
His agent says that's the starting point for negotiations.

Some will insist he will come for less. He won't. In fact, he won't come, period. He will yank our chain like Tim Floyd did.

On top of that, do you really want someone as your head coach who will probably necessitate having an NCAA compliance office in Lafayette?

This subject (on this non-candidate) should be closed. Orgeron is not going to be the coach.

Next.

_ I just gotta ask, what sort of "impression" do you get from this guy?

I am telling you straight up, if you are in a room or on the field with him, he is intense as hell, demanding, competetive, and in freaking motion; but yes, Coach Orgeron does have a CAJUN accent. _

The coaches accent has nothing to do with why I wasn't impressed. It's what he said. And no I don't remember his words, it was a couple of years ago. I was left with the impression, you know, I don't really think much of this guy (coaching wise) and wouldn't want him leading our team.

Mark Hudspeth, bruh.

If we can't afford him so be it, we lost our window of opportunity, we snooze we lose.

However, your a little light in the loafers if you think anyone that's an awesome recruiter is NOT going to have nonstop NCAA compliance furniture thrown off the back of the truck in front of him by every malcontent coach that he out recruits, because that my friend is how the system works. BTW, who is Cam Newton? The more frustration a coach causes, the more he gets, and trust me on this, we need a guy that is willing to make waves down at the deep end of the pool.

Please proceed with the compliance office opening, I hope we are going to need it soon.
