Ole Miss coaching altercation

[yeabama09]

Has anyone heard that there was a "heated argument" between Coach O and an assistant coach in practice yesterday or the day before?

Yes and Orgeron did throw a chair at Noel Mazzone that stuck in the wall during a coaches meeting. But did not punch Mazzone. Probably would have seen some physical sign if someone that big punches someone.

I'm just grateful that our staff seems to get along. it is very disturbing as a player to see your coaches in disarray.

The biggest problem I have with Orgeron is...

his blatant inability to control his temper. This is now the 2nd incident he's had in his short tenure at Ole Miss and it shows a pattern of behavior that is disturbing. Not getting mad or angry and yelling...but throwing things or physically challenging someone. This is very similar to Bob Knight who should have been fired years before for his antics with players.

I am not against a coach having a fire or showing his emotion but when you cross the line it's not good and Orgeron has done so twice already!

My other problem with Orgeron is his obvious lack of knowledge as to the time it takes to REBUILD a program! If he truly thought he could step in and create a winning team by simply scaring the current kids into working hard, he's has less brains than I thought.

This is JUST MY HUMBLE OPINION, but there is no way this type of behavior will be tolerated at Ole Miss and he could very quickly be out of work. If you allow this to go on with another coach...how long before it happens with a player? Ask Woody Hayes!

Not just disturbing to fans, but a death knell for a program. Orgeron is coming across as more brawn than brains, and apparently has crossed a line a time or two in bullying players. To the point where other coaches have stepped in.

Our program was like that in Dubose's last year. Cliques formed among both players and coaches. Nobody trusted anybody. There was some racial ugliness. We tanked. Dubose was fired.

I don't think Orgeron has a long future at Ole Miss.

Must be affecting the players also. I read somewhere that 11 players were requesting transfers. Anyone else hear the same thing?

Obviously, no inside info here, but I think he'll be history at the end of the season. IMHO, he's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

It's sad for those kids there to play ball

He seems like a hothead to me, he won't last in the SEC or anywhere else acting like that. I must say, I do hope the troubles make our contest easier this weekend. :blush:
