There's nothing wrong with constructive criticism.

Lol so the board is only for folks who brown nose Alleva and O?
Every one, every single one of us on this board is thrilled with the back to back SEC wins.
Does it change the fact for many of us that Alleva who has made 4 football hires in his career (Carl Franks 6-45, Ted Roof 7-45, Ed O 6-2 and David Cutcliffe 56-64) has to Geaux?
With O the theory was make him a “CEO”. Let the coaches coach. Just 2 weeks ago after the Troy loss and it was apparent that the coaches, especially on O, were not being allowed to coach. He had to call a meeting to reinforce that O is the HC but the Coordinators were basically in control of their side of the ball.
It’s worked the last 2 weeks I am happy. You are happy. Every one is happy.
But this structure doesn’t seem to be one that can work long term.
You can’t have a system where the HC at the direction of the AD cedes control to the Coordinators.
I hope it works I hope we win out and make the playoffs or the Sugar Bowl.
I will be happy as anyone here if we do.
But it doesn’t mean put your head in the sand and ignore a structure that seems so dysfunctional.
I agree with NoGeaux, here. Does this make me a "nega-tiger", OP?
Starting a thread to denigrate people for not sharing your opinions, only makes you the negative guy. Why not start threads that open up discussions of opinion and some spirited debate?
I love the rant, but all too often, people jump to cursing each other out, & getting nasty and vulgar towards each other. Just either debate somebody you disagree with, OR, don't click on the thread or post and move on.

not surprised to still see so much after the Auburn win. All these people will say is that we lost to Troy
The only reason people were bringing up Troy was to explain why they didn't think LSU was gonna beat Auburn. I keep seeing posts about fans that are unhappy with the win, but have yet to see said posts. I've repeatedly asked anyone to prove these posts exist and no one has shown me any proof yet.

"but we lost to Troy!" You can't reason with fools...
Yep. And Saban lost to UAB his first year in 2000 and to UL Monroe his first season at Bama. Remember the saying that year? Why won't Bama make it to the Independence Bowl? They can't get past Monroe. Some people can't be happy unless they are miserable. To each his own.

This right here. If you see me post something, I'm just having a simple discussion about LSU. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I enjoy it. If we all had the same opinion this place would be boring.

You misunderstood what I was saying.
I understand what you're saying and I agree with you. Up until the jet sweep that went for 70 yards or so that led to LSU's first TD yesterday, this team has looked terrible for the most part. They've had a few flashes of brilliance here and there. But in my opinion, they looked like a 7-5 or perhaps a 8-4 team at the best.
If they can keep the intensity going for the rest of the year that they had during the second half yesterday, I don't see why they can't win out other than the bama game. And who knows, perhaps even that game as well.

If posting on a message board can bring down the program, there are much bigger problems than disgruntled fans. Real fans and fake fans c'mon man.
I guess you don't realize that what the overly loud and obnoxious posters and fans say seeps into the conscious of the players, coaches, and recruits, and the national media
I guess I just don't understand being so bitterly negative about a schools football program that you are supposedly a fan of. Even if you don't like coach O, or doubt his ability, if you were a fan of the program you would at least wait and let it play out and still pull for success of the program.
To think that and call for the firing or even if O is actually fired right now somehow is a good thing for the program makes no sense.
to pull against the program just so you can say "I told you so" is equally dumb

Did you take this stance during the previous coaching staffs tenure?
If not, why not?

Quite honestly after the loss to TROY I didn't see any avenue leading to victory over any SEC opponent. In fact when they suited up vs Florida I just hoped they wouldn't get run out of the stadium, and just get out there and compete. Victory over Florida or any of the remaining opponents seemed unattainable at the time.

Again, I keep hearing about these people, but have seen no evidence of their existence.
I have a hard time believing that recruits are worried about what some old white guys are typing to each other on the internet. They want to win and get to the NFL. The problem fans have with the current head coach is that he has done nothing to deserve this job, so when he screws up like he did against Troy that brings up even more doubt. He also promised to let his coaches coach, that obviously didn't happen and the AD had to call them in to settle it. This stuff is unheard of and if he continues to show this ineptitude he his doing more harm than good and moving on would be a better route to take IMO.

That's why they play 4 quarters and I did think lsu was going to win

No shite they play 4 quarters, but you didn't have any valid reason to think they were going to win based on the previous games other than you just wanted them to.
They've played 28 quarters. 3 quality quarters against Auburn and like I said up until that 2nd quarter, we haven't seen anything that would point to LSU winning a big time game. The "that's why they play 4 quarters" rebuttle to my post makes no sense.

What's funniest about this is a LOT of people think the baseball program is mediocre and wanted to fire Mainieri after 5 straight national seeds and a trip to college world series finals, but it's ok to lose to Troy in football.
Our fans are morons, we still have people that want Beth Torina fired. Its asinine

Actually I think O has demonstrated his “ability” thru 35 games as HC at OM.
But honestly that is irrelevant.
What is relevant is that Joe Alleva hires him and if he wasn’t clear about the role of the HC at the time of the hire, he was clear in the meeting 2 weeks ago.
Bottom line he was told to let the Coordinators run the offense and defense and keep his nose out.
It’s not just me who doubts his ability. It’s the guy who hired him. That’s a problem brother. No matter how you slice it.
If you believe that is a structure that has any chance for long term success, you are in a distinct minority.
No leadership structure can succeed when the subordinates are given control around the Head Coach.
I just cannot believe anyone other Joe Alleva thinks that will bring Championships here.

I think the problem with this system is once the coordinators take another job, whether its in the NFL or as a head coach, it leaves a lot of instability at the coordinator position.
On top of that, we need to hire the best of the best in order to maintain as well. What happens if we can't snatch up our person? Our head coach isn't a offensive or defensive wizard so it leaves a major hole with a lot of possibilities of heading south

You, sir, need to take your ambien and go to bed, or go back to school and learn the English language.
As for most of the other folks on this thread, all I can say is WOW, get a life or something to do besides this. I can't believe I wasted my time reading this garbage, but it was too dumb to stop! I was hoping to at least see one clever or witty comment, but I was very disappointed.
I do agree with the person who started the topic....true Tiger fans can do without the really negative crap that gets posted, e.g. (this means example given to you water boys out there) what would you think if your manager and all your co-workers wanted to fire you after making some mistakes during your first few weeks at a new job? That would really suck, right?
Get a grip and give Coach O and the young players time to gel. LSU has already surprised a lot of the college football nation this season. And I agree with some of you, beating Bama is NOT completely unrealistic. If the Tigers can pull that off and beat the other SEC teams they should beat, we'll be playing in Atlanta for the SEC Championship!
Playoffs/NC are unrealistic. But the SEC Crown is not!
GEAUX TIGERS!
