Orgeron has the sizzle we all want for this program. There is no question he is the best recruiter UL could ever hope to hire. Besides money, it is a legit question to ask what kind of offense he will run. His offenses at Ole Miss were some of the worst I have ever seen. He also went through two offensive coordinators in his three years.
We should all be excited about this development, but money should not be our only worry here. If he thinks he can run the USC pro offense here at UL, he will fail.
Orgeron is surely creating interest and guarded excitement. But is seems very much still in the air as to whether is upside outweighs his downside, negatives, and concerns.

Ed Orgeron would be a risky hire.
Let's do it.
But I'll be realistic. I thought the same thing about Tim Floyd. Chances are it won't happen, and we'll end up with a qualified guy.

If his contract is loaded with incentives, I guarantee that Ed will still get paid. If Ed meets his incentives, then that means we're winning. And if we start winning, watch the RCAF and the ticket sales take off, which means more $$$ to pay Ed. I love incentive based contracts.
Don't have much of a problem with Orgeron. Most teams proclaim that they'll line up and punch you in the mouth. Orgeron's team will line up and headbutt your face.

Incentive heavy.....if this is what it takes, so be it. What is the harm if half the bowl revenue goes to Head Coach and staff. Need to make sure we aren't selling soul like our instate neighbors. Incentives must also be tied with program integrity (grades/graduation/character)
