Certainly the overall goal is to win each game. However, having a putrid offense and still winning causes:

1. The Defense must play longer and tired players are more injury prone. I know we did not lose many defensive players for the season, but less hits over the course of a season does a body good.
2. The lack of a passing game costs us in the long run by losing recruits. We know about Gunner Keil, Justin Hunter and Mike Davis, but what about the 5 star 6'4" WRs and QBs that don't even consider LSU.
3. Correcting mistakes gets put to the side because "we won" and bad habits are repeated.

I am a huge LSU fan and I want our coaches and players to succeed.

if you arent happy with a win you aren't a true fan we can't have a legit critique of things that might need improving.

This is only troublesome if the coaches have this mentality, not the fans.

Unfortunately, I sometimes fear our coaches do in fact have this mind set by their lack of change in the problematic areas.

The offense needs to improve but I disagree with all three of your points.

LSU lead in TOP in all but 3 games this year I think.

We currently have 2 stud QB recruits committed and a top 5 class. There arent that many 5 star WRs and QBs.

I doubt any coaching staff in the country ignores bad habits on game film simply because they won.

Good post Tcavor....I agree with your comments.

A win is a win is for lazy people and would only make sense if you never lost!

Do you think profitable companies stop looking for ways to increase their profits at the end of the year? No! They look for ways to become more profitable.

Les is a jackass for not making a change to the current system for the offense. So is LSU for not forcing him to do it!
