I conclude that the PRIMARY reason for this exodus is due to the current coaching staff (offensive) and putrid offensive scheme that has ranked in the mid 80's for the third year in a row

Simon, Minter, Wing, Mingo, Montgomery, Reid, and Logan arent' leaving because of coaching they never see or hear from. Ware and Ford aren't leaving because we are a predominantly run-based offense. They are leaving because we are 5 deep at their position and they will not be getting enough touches to raise their draft stock next year. Hill and Blue beat them both out as starters this year and both of them come back. Faulk is making a "business decision" as in the article. If he comes out and blows his knee out again he doesnt get an NFL career. If he leaves now he is anywhere from 2-4 round.


Yes we need to fix the offense, but our offensive production and coaching has nothing to do with juniors leaving otherwise you would've seen every junior on the offensive side of the ball bail and several underclassmen transferring out.


Stop with the doom and gloom retardedness, players come to LSU to make it to the NFL. We had a realy good class of sophs last year that translated into a good class of juniors this year. They can make the jump NFL and want to. Wish them luck and then look at the team LSU still has. We will be fine. The talent-level won't drop at all.
