LSU coach Ed Orgeron’s weekly radio show went off the rails

LSU coach Ed Orgeron isn’t exactly the most popular man in Baton Rouge these days following an embarrassing home loss to Troy on Saturday night.
That made for some interesting radio during Coach O’s weekly show on Wednesday night, as many LSU callers felt the need to vent.
According to reporters who were listening to the show, the callers went off the rails quickly and didn’t stop:
Orgeron to a critical caller: "I earned the job, whether you like it or not." #LSU

Caller just asked if the lack of fans at Tiger Stadium during games is because of "corporatization" of college football.
Yup.
Just yup.

Caller just called O an alpha and called Alleva "more feminine, more like a beta"
Wow.
O defends Alleva "Best AD I ever worked for"

Fortunately for Coach O, the calls weren’t all bad, as a couple of fans had nice things to say about the embattled coach:
Caller: "Coach O no one believes in you… more than we do."
Legitimately thought it was going to be another off the rail call.

Caller points out that Nick Saban & 'Bama lost to ULM in 2007 – Saban's first year in Tuscaloosa. "Can't be mad at you for losing to Troy"

Still, it’s tough to imagine what the calls will be like if the Tigers lose to Florida in Gainesville this weekend.
It’s a tough time to be an LSU fan, and unfortunately for Coach O, he’s the one who has to answer these crazy calls during his weekly radio show.
