2010 Football Coaching Candidates

[ULGrad@HOU]

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.

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.

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.

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.
