Good for him.  Probably not good for us.  Florida got the coach I would've picked for us, if I were in charge.  Dude practically begged LSU for the gig and they weren't interested.  Something similar happened one time....some guy named Spurrier interviewed for the LSU job and didn't get it, by his own admission he never forgot the slight, and he spent the next long while running up the score on us, making sure nobody in Baton Rouge ever forgot what they missed out on.  This better not be the sequel. 
Crazy,is that for real?Either someone has direct contact,dirt or an axe to grind.Their whole committee can't be that damn dumb

Lol, Lincoln Riley negotiating with USC the whole time, headed there. He wasn't lying about not being the LSU coach.

Guy is a pussy. Scared of OU going to the SEC if you ask me.

Makes perfect sense. Continue to play zero defense and beat up on a horrible PAC that also does not play much defense.

USC AD does not have the kind of money that OU does.

LSU is going to be paying $12 mil/yr.  USC may have more $ than us, I don't know, but I doubt they're going to pay that much.  Maybe he doesn't like that our money smells like crawfish.

Is he avoiding the SEC?

It's weird that it was just a given that he was going somewhere, as if OU is chopped liver.  Bizarre.  What else could it be?  
He's a Texas guy, can bring in talent and wins at OU.

USC does not have more money than LSU. Not even close. They don't get the same kind of money from their PAC TV deals than LSU gets from the SEC TV deals, they don't sell anywhere near the merchandise or tickets as LSU, and they don't get anywhere near the same kind of money from boosters donating money that LSU does.

USC football generates a fraction in revenue/donations of what LSU football does.

He is 100% avoiding the SEC. 

The guy is a gamble hire by USC if you ask me. What has he really done except pad stats in a weak conference? He's never built anything, he took over a winning program for Bob Stoops. He's never won anything, every single time that OU has been in the playoff they've been curb-stomped. And his teams literally have been some of the worst defensive teams since he's been a head coach. He really just doesn't seem to care about defense. 

OU leaving for the SEC is why he's leaving. He does not want to go 7-5/8-4 in the SEC then get on the hot-seat. He flips the scrip and starts to wins 10-11 games a year at USC after taking over an awful program in a weak Pac, they'll build statues for him.

If this wild gas station story is true, it is no surprise that Ed Orgeron is out at LSU

https://www.golfdigest.com/story/ed-orgeron-lsu-separation-agreement-college-football-pick-up-line?utm_medium=email&utm_source=112821&utm_campaign=hitlist&utm_content=DM23211&uuid=dad16635f47a415d8273b5b271b98d54

“It [Orgeron's new bachelor status] created messes for him, like the time Orgeron pulled up to a woman at a gas station wearing exercise attire. “Hey, you look like you work out,” he said, according to multiple sources. “We could work out together.” The woman informed Orgeron she was married and pregnant, to which he responded, “Why does that matter?”

Well, here’s why, Coach …

“That woman was the wife of a high-ranking LSU official. Word of this reached the LSU Board of Supervisors, the collection of prominent Louisiana attorneys and business owners appointed by the governor who make the most important decisions at LSU. And of course, it reached LSU athletic director Scott Woodward.”


Yeeeeikes. Hitting on your boss' boss' pregnant wife at a gas station is as bulletproof a way of getting sh*tcanned as exists in the capitalist world. It’s also potentially the most Coach O thing ever. According to The Athletic, in addition to the on-field product, the womanizing (Orgeron divorced his wife of 23 years in early 2020 shortly after signing a six-year, $42-million extension) has played a key role in Orgeron’s fall from grace, with one player even saying, “It was just a distraction. In 2019, there was no, ‘What’s Coach O doing postgame or Sunday during the day? Is he laying by the pool with a lady?’”
