Let Kirk retire, hire Ed Orgeron

[tweeterhawk]

Let Kirk finish the season, go to some non NYD bowl game, retire and then hire someone who knows how to win national championships. Let Orgeron clean house of the incompetent, nepotistic OC hire, the staid DC and the rest of Kirk’s stuck-in-the 80s staff.

Gosh, could you imagine? What a nightmare that would be.

HN is the only place in the universe where this suggestion would be made in earnest.

It's a privilege to be here, very special.

Isn’t Iowa 6-1 with wins over 3 ranked teams?

Ferentz would have won a national championship if he had coached LSU.

Ed Orgeron reminds me of Bob Cummings. Nice guy but in way over his head.

 

[ChosenChildren]

Nice troll attempt, by the way. Well done

 

[MikeyLikesIowa]

Nope....I like Ed O, but I think Bobby Stoops is ready to come home.

This thread sent a chill up my back.

Nice guy, Ed???? You should read a bunch of the stories about why LSU wanted him out. And why he accepted the buyout. I googled him just a few days ago when the news came out he was going to be let go or whatever.

Sounds like he has gone off the rails the last few years since the Natty Champ.

Ha, yeah - folksy public persona vs who he actually is as a human being...not pretty.

Also, if you look at his resume, he's more or less Gene Chizik.

Orgeron seriously? What's he done since winning the national championship? The amount of talent available to him at LSU by far exceeds what would be available to him at a program like Iowa and I simply don't see him catching lightning in a bottle again like he did with Burrow. Based on who he is and what he's done the past two years I can legitimately say he wouldn't even be on my list if I was making that decision.

John Gruden's available too, but just cause they're out there doesn't automatically make them a great fit.

Since we're talking about philanderers, why not go after Bobby Petrino?

Come on man, even I spotted it....and this is coming from the guy who missed a very blatant sarcastic comment last week.

Probably but, at the same time, if you were to accept this as a legitimate take, it wouldn't even rank in the top 10 for stupidity since Saturday afternoon.

The OP seems to want to take as big a flush as possible on both KF and the entire Iowa system. Ed Orgeron's Carroll era USC pedigree may appeal to quite a few people as representing high octane big boy football. OP either doesn't know about or maybe doesn't care about why Orgeron is being shown the door. On top of that, you can't recruit for high octane USC type offense in Iowa. Iowa's system is very developmental and Orgeron is used getting the pick of the litter. He's never worked in a developmental system and might have no inclination to do so.

It was sarcasm.

I stand corrected. I did not know about the off the field allegations against him. Wow.

That'll teach you for not reading the linked article in the original post! lol

Guilty as charged. That's what I get for browsing here while at work and only partially concentrating on what I was reading here. Definitely a WTF moment that didn't have me reading between the lines.
