    O let himself get caught up in the emotion for the FL game. He learned his lesson and changed his approach, unlike one unemployed former coach.

    In the meantime, in the heat of the moment he went yaw yaw and probably cost his team the sugar bowl....yep, I hope he learned from that

    It was absolutely the right call. I don't however see what Leonard has to gain by saying this, at this point. He has made bad decision after bad decision this year. Was it O's call for Leonard to sign with an agent and not travel with the team to the bowl? Was it O's decision to buy a 60,000 dollar watch before being drafted? Or to get into with a coach pre game and ask to play unhealthy as a result, which hurt the team, it was O's decision to let him play in that game, which was a huge mistake, but O learned his lesson. Fournette is as beastly a tailback as there has ever been but he is still very immature.

    I think it's a huge positive on Coach Oeaux, puts his players' best interest above his. So many coaches use athletes and don't give a shit at what cost winning comes.

    Saban probably would've said to stick a needle in it, tape it up and don't deviate from the "Process." And IDGAF what @TerryP says.

    Orgeron has really shown me something over the last few months. Since the season has ended he has done just about everything right. Will all of this translate on the field? We shall see.
