I assume that is conference rank and not national. I would suggest you use the national ranking if you really want to make your point.

2008 and all those Pick 6's scarred Les

So in 6 out of 10 years, the offense has been in the top half of the conference?

The main point you make is sound.

First: We have the #1 ranked Highest paid total coaching staff in the nation and are #74 nationally in offense for the last 5 years.

Second: The trends are not up and in a positive direction. Not Wins, total offense, nothing.

Conclusion: Something has to change. We cannot continue to do the same things and expect different results. What's also adding to the frustration is seeing other programs that are improving and trending in the right direction such as Miss. St. Ole Miss, etc. and we seem to be treading water at best.

By the way. I would like to point out that I said way back in 2011-2012 that his handling of that situation was so darned egregiously bad and shitty that it may well lead to us having issues at that position going forward. That some kids would most certainly take a peek at that and blink on the recruiting trail and that opposing coaches would absolutely use it against us on the trail.

Now. One will never prove causation but, apparently, in the time since then, we managed to recruit so damned badly that the best thing we have to roll onto the field right now is arguably the worst QB in major college football.

Just sayin.......

Some of this could be the Perrilloux effect. Notice how well we did first year of Crowton, first year of Stud and first year of Cam... Something happens between year one and year two with Les and the OC's... "I'm thinking we need to make a few adjustments this year..."

These are scoring offenses, which don't necessarily tell the whole story.

For example, in 2011, LSU was 86th in total offense nationally, 6th in the SEC, and only 3 SEC teams were in the top 73 on offense that season.

Everyone with a brain knows how horrible SEC defenses were last year. It wasn't a fluke that everyone in the SEC had pretty damn good offenses, and LSU still only managed middle of the road, yet everyone slobbers over last year's offense.

But yeah, he's great overall.

Making great use of all those great recruiting classes

4 of the last 6 years are close to bottom of the SEC - 2 other years in middle of SEC
Coincidence that AL is playing for 4 of the last 6 national championships while we have 4 of the last 6 bottom dwellars on offense in the SEC??
