Yes it has been awhile and I ' m sure he learned a lot from that time , but a lot of people seem to discount his disastrous tenure at Ole Miss entirely . Coach O has done great as an interim for both USC and LSU , but that ' s still a small sample size and you can ' t be sure how he ' d fare as a longterm coach . If you ' re a program as prestigious as LSU , I would understand if you didn ' t want to risk giving Orgeron the job permanently given that his only experience as a fulltime head coach was a huge failure . He ' s earned a job as a head coach somewhere , but not necessarily at a hightier P 5 program like LSU . <| sep |> The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz . Good for anyone going into business , even if its not software . I feel like it gave me a lot of perspective .
