Good article in the athletic by Brody miller.

this sums it up pretty good:

“The rise and fall of Orgeron can be defined by what happens when an already volatile man reaches the absolute peak of his profession, popularity and prestige right as he undergoes a public divorce through a pandemic while the world shifts around him. It’s about the difference between being able to learn from failure and being able to sustain that success.

Orgeron’s time at LSU wasn’t a repeat of his Ole Miss tenure. This wasn’t a downfall via chaotic behavior and driving assistants mad. It was a slow and steady whittling away of all the things that brought him and the program success. Add in a massive Title IX scandal in the university and the newly single Orgeron’s interactions with women bringing new distractions, and the changing off-field behavior coincided with declining on-field results.

“He lost track of who he was and what made him good from the national championship to now,” one source told The Athletic.”

 

I wonder what they buyout is going to be?

 

North of $17 mil

 

Frankly it’s a sad tale and I can emphasize with his fall. Sort of like Icarus flying too close to the sun.

 

I know most of y'all wanted him gone, but I'm sad.

 

I would be surprised if it's that much.

 

Same here. I wish it would have worked out better because winning with him was so much better than winning with Saban or even Miles. He got to live out his dream and brought the most enjoyable championship in the history of sports here.

 

Best news I've heard in a long while. Only thing I disagree with is in that Athletic article they said his downfall wasn't because of chaotic behavior. I'd say his behavior since winning the title have absolutely be chaotic.

 

Ugg. i don't say is is not warranted but i am not Celebrating
