Theres nothing wrong with LSU retaining Ed Orgeron as its head coach right now. The Tigers introduced Orgeron as theirhead coach two days after beating Texas A&M in the Sugar Bowl on Thanksgiving; a move that will be met with skepticism outside Baton Rouge.But Orgeron earned the promotion. He led the Tigers to a 5-2 record after Les Miles was fired on Sept. 25. Orgeron turned a potential disaster into one-yard away from the Sugar Bowl in a lo s to Florida. The players responded, but those players arent going to be around forever. MORE: The book on Orgeron is straightforward. Hes a Louisiana NHL Washington Capitals Jersey guy. Hes an SEC (near-)lifer. Hes a coach the players responded to this season, and that was good enough for LSU. He'snot Jimbo Fisher or Tom Herman, but athletic director Joe Alleva stayed close to home. If theres a sport where thats acceptable more than others, then its college football.That doesnt make this a good hire. Not yet, anyway. Orgerons first real shot at full-time head coach since a Mike Gartner Jersey three-year gig at Ole Mi s from 2005-07 comes with a to-do list. LSU can maintain its spot as a SEC West contender, but it cant fall into the same pitfalls that brought the Miles era to a close.The Tigers need an offensive coordinator who can develop a quarterback. Thats why the Lane Kiffin rumors are interesting. Kiffin, who was Orgeron's bo s at Tenne see and Southern Cal, has been masterful with innovating the Crimson Tides offense and has a third consecutive Heisman contender in freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts. That would add yet another layer to the LSU-Alabama rivalry. Whether its Kiffin or somebody else, LSU needs an offensive coordinator who can challenge Nick Saban and Alabama.MORE: And thats the biggest question with the Orgeron hire. Hes good enough to be an 8-4 or 9-3 coach in the most cut-throat top-to-bottom division in college football. He proved that over the last seven games. But LSU had three-lo s seasons three of the last four years under Miles. A lot of coaches could win eight games for the Tigers. Alexander Alexeyev Jersey Thats not the standard. To reach the standard, the Tigers have to challenge Alabama. The Tide won the last six meetings by a combined score of 140-63. LSU has scored just 10.5 points per game in those lo ses. That, more than anything else, is why Miles is gone. He had teams talented enough to beat Alabama, and they didnt get the job done. Thats Orgerons biggest test, and Matt Niskanen Jersey one that will determine whether this is a good hire.MORE: We know everything else. We know Orgeron is a players coach and an excellent recruiter who should be comfortable in those head-to-head battles on the high school trail. We know LSU needs to retain Dave Aranda as its defensive coordinator. That side of the ball always enough NFL talent to be dominant, and theres no reason why that wont continue. We know LSU can run the ball. The Tigers averaged 264.6 rushing yards per game in seven games under Orgeron. That number shoots up to 303.2 in the six games that werent played against Alabama. They still rushed for just 33 yards in a 10-0 lo s to Alabama.Chances are LSU fans know all that, too. Miles is likely going to land another job, and hell do well there. Orgeron will be up against that, too. Fisher and Herman will be known as the guys that got away. If it doesnt work out, Orgeron will be labeled as that guy who wasnt the first choice.Orgeron earned this chance, but LSU is taking an even bigger chance by retaining him. Clemsons Dabo Swinney is one example of an interim coach who took the job and ran with it. There arent a lot more at national powerhouses.MORE: Theres nothing wrong with LSU retaining Orgeron Jonas Siegenthaler Jersey for now. Well see if the Tigers can go home again and make it work.Its just going to take a while before we know if this really is a good hire.
