    O knows he is a made man in Louisiana forever. He has nothing to be bitter about.

    With Orgeron it would not be football. It would be footbrawl. :eek:

    Maybe the Gators need some of that. :D

    Great hire but isn’t he the grim reaper for staffs? How many times has been the interim? And then won a bunch of games doing it lol?

    I think it would be a good fit..brings age and years of experience in coaching, respect and recruiting...the rest I cant understand. He would certainly help a young DC and be a great motivator.

    I hate to say it but with our schedule next year and current performance we may need his experience with regard to interim coaching if things go south.

    I would think they’ve been told to not say anything until the official announcement.

    It seems far-fetched that a former NC winning HC would come back to be a DL position coach... Would love the hire, but wouldn't bet that it happens...

    Chizik comes to mind, but he is a DC, maybe they will give coach O associate HC title to make it sound good.

    This is fun for a message board, but it seems farfetched.

    But I've always loved Coach O. He is genuine and authentic- and doesn't do coachspeak.
