From a place called Vol Nation comes this Ode on Orgeron. This would make even the most die-hard Ole Miss recruiting geeks–Orgeron’s staunchest defenders, who would gladly have been down in a bunker under the IPF with him the day after the 2007 Egg Bowl Catastrophe gobbling cyanide pills and burning lists of illiterate 5 star recruits from towns in Louisiana nobody can pronounce as Pete Boone knocked on his office door–blush. The highlights:
Seriously, give Houston Nutt a couple of years after Orgeron’s players trickle out and see how long before he’s run out of town by an army of seer-suckered, suspender-wearing blue bloods. (Hint: 3 years)…
…Simply put, there is an aura about the man. He’s a cross between something out of a Flannery O’Connor short story and a southern fried version of Thor the hammer god…
…Not only that, but among the coaching ranks, lesser men find themselves trapped inside the labyrinth of balancing success on the recruiting trail and personal success in the form of promotions and personal branding. Ed Orgeron laughs at such men.
He is able to burst through the walls of distraction like the Kool-Aid guy…
