Ed Orgeron reveals he told Joe Burrow in a restaurant parking lot on his recruiting visit that LSU would fire him if he didn’t get him to commit, and says he told him if he did come he would win a National Championship
“Joe comes on a visit. Now Joe was going to Cincinnati. Joe’s girlfriend was going to Cincinnati. Joe’s daddy coached about an hour away from there. So Joe comes on a visit with his mom and daddy. Great people.”
“The first thing he tells me, ‘Coach, I don’t want to talk to you.’ He goes, ‘Coach, I know you’re a great recruiter. All I want to do is talk football and eat crawfish.’ Next day, we had a football meeting. There’s about 12 of us there.”
“It took me five minutes to figure out, remember what Jimmy Johnson taught me? Smart quarterback. Joe was the smartest guy in the room, including me, including all the coaches. So anyway, in any good sales, there’s always a crack in the door. But you got to sense that crack. You got to seize it. If the crack’s not there, wait.”
“I went up to him and I said, ‘Joe, I want to talk to you.’ He went, ‘Yes, sir.’ I knew it. So I took him outside. This might have been the most important talk I ever had in all my life. I said, ‘Joe, if you tell anybody about this conversation, it never happened.’”
“‘Joe, I don’t get you, they’re going to fire me. I get you, we’re going to win the national championship. That’s how important you are to me.’ They’re going to fire me if you don't come here but if you do, we're going to win it all.���
We hired a new VP named Michael Lee.
Unfortunately we already have a Michael Lee.
He works in the warehouse.
He's been here 11 years.
New VP gets:
[email protected]
He immediately messages IT.
“Can you move the other Michael to michael.lee2 and give me michael.lee?”
No.
He asks HR.
HR asks me if we can “prioritize seniority.”
I explain that the warehouse Michael has eleven years of email history tied to that address and changing it because someone with a nicer title arrived would be insane.
VP reluctantly keeps the 2.
Warehouse Michael finds out.
Changes his Teams display name to:
Michael Lee (Original)
By Friday the VP is being referred to as Sequel Mike.
He has asked IT to intervene.
Unfortunately nickname management is outside our support scope.
@clashboy23 What a great comedian, bumped into him on king street Hammersmith in the early 90’s and he spent about 20 minutes chatting to 3 teenagers. What a guy.
