In college this is even worse because it impacts recruiting in a very negative manner. If you haven't noticed we've essentially been eliminated by every top recruit we're/we've been after the last few weeks. I'm sure these guys love seeing players just leaving the program bad mouth the coaches. Yes, the coaches did screw up, but we don't need guys very close to the program tapping their mouths off about it. It's really hurting the program and doing nothing more.

The coaches could have been proactive two years ago and found a legitimate QB, that's a fact. Moreso, they could have put a more dynamic game plan into effect on offense. After five games I posted the passing game was improved but still pedestrian and got skewered for it. shite, they could have gotten Russell Wilson for 2011 if they worked at it.

If you were to ask any Bama defensive lineman or LB if they were truly concerned about LSU's OL to a man they would say, and mean, no. Nick Gentry, you scared of any center or guard you will go against??? And he was the least athletic of them all. Given that, the game plan had to be multi-dimensional, not what we saw in the MNC game. I'm really not throwing you under the bus, but my eyes aren't buying anything the fans are selling on TD. DP will be lucky to be be drafted although I wish him the best, and playing OL is to a large degree mindset, not just physical attributes. Personally, I am very disappointed in the lack of QB pedigree brought into the program by the staff given the glaring problems the last 4-years. Did the staff really think miraculous improvements were going to occur behind center the last two years??? OK, they bring in Mett but severely limit his playing time in 2011. Did Miles just want JL to keep the position warm for JJ although his passing skills were still rudimentary??? Seems that way. People keep posting the OL is full of awesomeness, but I have yet to see a semblance of a Faneca, Mawae, Wilkerson, etc gracing the field. LSU doesn't have a road grader at LG, C, or RG on the interior. The players are good, but so are their opponents. The best talent on the team is at RB and they need an above average QB and OL to help them shine and the D will take care of itself.
