Bizarre, inexplicable decision by Orgeron to kick the FG on 4th down when a TD was mere inches away. Even if they failed to score, Notre Dame was on their own goal line on a wet field.

In that situation, no matter what O did, he would be criticized if the team lost.  It all goes back to the 4th down in the Egg Bowl and the "not hiring at USC".  He can't win no matter what.

Haters are going to Hate.

Not sure where you get the "haters" part. I've always believed Ed Orgeron was not responsible for his poor performance while head coach at Ole Miss. The decision to hire him by Khayat and Boone was a management screw up of the first magnitude. Ed was nowhere near ready to be head coach of a major program, and he was thrown into a job for which was clearly not qualified by training or experience. Ed did the best he could but was simply not ready for the job. He himself has admitted that several times since leaving Ole Miss.
