We Might Never Hear Geaux Tigahs Again: Mourning
We all saw this coming with how the LSU season was panning out. The 2019 season set a standard Coach O and LSU could not replicate and it was a double-edged sword. The Tigers flew too close to the sun and the wax of coaches that kept the feathers in place had melted away and left. in 15 months 7 coaches left LSU after the championship and the next season's 5-5 record in the SEC was not promising. Coach O may have not been worth the 9 million dollar salary for his coaching, but the Cajun culture that he brought to the University was a match made in heaven. Geaux Tigahs. Here is a compilation so we can remember and mourn.
His practice themes and culture he brought to the program may have not been the best Xs&Os but he brought the Ed-O's.
The stories of stone-cold style Redbull chugging, or with a hyped-up attitude that landed recruits and motivated players to win games.
Everyone has a Coach O story. Coach O once called in an airstrike of 15 lbs of crawfish boil because Joe Burrow was busting his balls about not taking him out for crawfish in crawfish country.
Coach O embodied a rare Louisiana spirit. The guy once broke his leg and played football on crutches in second grade. Imagine being in second grade taking a handoff and seeing Coach O hobbling towards you? The guy was famous for eating tons of gumbo. It wasn't a bit this man had been said to eat gumbo at almost every recruiting visit. He was once famously quoted as saying: "The day I cant whoop a man's ass is the day I don’t get out of bed.".
Many thought after the Florida win Coach O would have saved his job.
He saw some holes and LSU filled them. He will be staying on the rest of the year.
I still believe that if Coach O were to beat Alabama they would let him keep his job.
Coach O needs to stay in college football in the main role somewhere. The guy needs to be jogging on some campus somewhere in the hot sun.
Coach O getting fired at LSU and David Baker stepping down from the Football Hall of Fame is 2 huge blows for one weekend.
Coach O is a unicorn, and we probably will never see someone who fucks up close captioning again like Coach O. If Napier left the University of Louisiana Ragin Cajuns, I feel like that is the perfect place for Coach O to land, He is a Ragin Cajun.
