Re: Ed Orgeron: 2008 Draft X-Factor for Saints?
 

check out all the negativity in here..

Orgeron is a GREAT hire. i for one don't see how it can get any worse. the defense is going to be vastly improved. i just hope you all negative talkers come back in here during the season to say you were wrong.

how can you say someone is a bad hire when the season hasn't even started... lets just see what happens.

I heard a rumor somewhere that Orgeron cures cancer too.

Anyone can make up stories. Whether or not he's a good or bad hire, we'll find out at the end of the year.

And missile, how do you know we didn't do our homework before we hired him? It's not like people go around hiring bums off the street. There is an application/interview process... yea... I guess you forgot about that. Speculation at it's best.

The negativity surrounding this subject is starting to irk the heck out of me. *hint* We'll just agree to disagree... let's move on.

Well the guy must interview as good as he recruits.

Hopefully he'll be better than Venturi.

I like to read opinions from all here.

If I agree. It's cool.

If I don't. It's cool.

When it comes at me like this: airwebhfiywbfywagfywgbfiywbfiywebfwyubgfwuybiwebwiyebfwbfyewipfbw8yefbwuyebfuwyebfjvovvvjvuhvndpokjqepofjwpefjwpjfpwjfpwejfpwjfpwjfpw8ywebvfuwebfiwebfiwaebfipwyhebfipwhebfiwpebfiwpbfipebfihebfuebvuybf uyrgfw7EQp9iwdqOBiquwwIYFBW8efgwFGW8efw8EFwywEFW8EFGBWefwq8FBQEF8gwYVwff0YVWWYF0VWQYEFGq0w8evqyfgQF7Gqyev8EFVefQ8YFBqw8efbQYEFB8QFq0yeby0fv8qefb8WEFGHW7FGHw807fgWEW9F7H97f

With no breaks.

It makes it difficult to process.

Just an observation.

Get off your high horse.

Re: Ed Orgeron: 2008 Draft X-Factor for Saints?
 

B-C: Yes, there is negativity.

Glad to hear your remarks, but the pessimism of other posters doesn't bother me. The have a right to be sceptical (based on the false hopes we, as Saints' fans have endured over the years).

Coach-O is a great pickup, and if you read the article ...he was commended for the QUALITY of prospects he was able to bring to his university (USC and Ole Miss). It's a matter of record; can't deny it.

Therefore, I'm looking forward to what he may be able to add to the equation when the Saints evaluate the class of '08.

Geaux Boys!

Do you assume there is no recruiting in the NFL? What was this FA signing period? What about the posts crying about no top-tier talent? No matter what you offer these players they have a choice to play where ever they want. Maybe it was his knowledge of the position and ability to coach it combined with his sucess at recruiting that got him the job. Maybe next offseason they will hand him a list of FA players and tell him go get us some players.
With all the great posts on this topic is there any other positional coaches we can discuss at length. Has any of them had any parking tickets or overdue library books? I for one am FIRED UP to hear we may have a coach with a little excitement coming to the team hopefully it will bring some accountability as well.
Just curious but do positional coaches usually get any credit or blame for team success? After a good year do you often hear "Average team but with a stud like that as a WR coach they made it to the SuperBowl" or how bout "Top to bottom best team in the NFL but with that DL coach they never had a shot to win a game"

Sounds like he'll be a good fit if not for the football team; then the city of New Orleans.

Give the guy a chance it can't be any worse than it is now.
