Ole Miss staff fired

[TiderinMiss]

I wonder if the media will pound Ole Miss for clearly stating that EO would be the coach at Ole Miss in 2008. Isn't this the same as Saban saying he wouldn't be the coach at UA in 2007? To me, it seems that these types of statements are par for the course during this time of the year.

The media over here won't. They don't have the guts.

 

[Capt. Jack]

Don't be surprised to see Terry Bowden's name surface.

That's the first name I thought of. I think he'd fit in well there.

 

[bayoutider]

Yep. I'm still waiting on Lavarious Giles to play.

They wuz millionaires in he house.

The adminstration at Ole Miss can save face by saying he was needed for the filming of the new Shrek sequel, and just didn't have time for his coaching duties.

I'm still waiting on Jerrell Powe to play.

Not surprising. After yesterday it had to become painfully obvious to the powers that be at OM that Orgeron wasn't quality head coach material. That fourth down decision was likely the last straw. All I can say is what an idiot.

LOL!! Indeed.

Typical Ole Miss reaction. He might not have been a great coach but in 4 years we will be having the same conversation again. Unless little Bowden goes there and then it will be two years or less. He only goes there to get some exposure for better jobs. Untill these schools stick with a coach long enough to get things turned around, they will just be the whipping boys of the other schools.

That scraping sound you hear is the last of the Ole Miss fans removing their "O -- The Coach" stickers from their SUV's.

Hoover High's ex-coach might be interested.

Yeah, he is free as of last night! Vestavia put a whooping on the Bucs.

Today's Clarion-Ledger article refers to him as Coach O (and 8).

Ouch! I can think of few coaches in SEC history who sunk to his depths of ineptitude. Ears Whitworth? Steve Sloan? Doug Barfield? Joe Lee Dunn?

I think Orgeron probably set a new standard for futility. He gave new meaning to the term "signature losses". You always got the feeling that he'd make a stupid decision that would cost him a game.

If OM even interviews Tater Tot they should give up football.

It's official.

Ed Orgeron Not Returning As Ole Miss Head Football Coach

“Ed Orgeron will not be returning as head coach of the Ole Miss Rebels,” Boone announced at the press conference. “Chancellor (Robert) Khayat and I met with Coach Orgeron this morning. We thanked him for his tremendous work ethic, the energy and the commitment he gave Ole Miss.

Archie (Manning) said on the CBS Football PreGame show, Ed would have survived had he not blown that 14 point lead to MSU.

Ever Heard of Mike DuBose?

Ears DuBose was worse than Orgeron. He inherited the SEC West division champion and managed to lose to La Tech TWICE, Kentucky (something no Tide coach since 1922 had been able to do), and Central Florida.

Here's what's funny to me: I was living in Tishomingo, MS when Cutcliffe got fired and they all were lining up to kick him as he left town. Didn't matter who they got, he HAD to be better than Cutcliffe.

Well, DC only had one losing season at a perennial also-ran. Orgeron got three of his wins against Memphis.

Manning said that Will Muschamp is mentioned as a possible replacement at Ole Miss.

Well, I wonder if Archie Manning still runs things behind the scenes there. Maybe he could go get somebody like Joe Lee Dunn to come back.

I agree with this statement.

The game yesterday cost him his job. They dominated State for three quarters. I stopped watching the game at the end of the third quarter. I was floored when I saw Ole Miss choked and lost it in the fourth quarter.
