It’s not even a knock on E to aay clearly he had to come up with a new playbook.

The conversation was about whether our plan was to create our own offense o copy someone’s.

Then O needs to make better hires on the training staff. ABSOLUTELY UNEXCUSABLE for injuries to happen

Is saying that E had to come up with a new offense the same as saying he can't be successful in 2019?

affected Trev-Trolling29 so much that when he realized that LSU was probably going to finish with 10 wins and with a top 10 ranking he ditched his old username and sent it into permanent hiding and came up with an alter. I am curious who he used to be - to take it so badly he is now going by an alias.


Funny that I seem to be living rent free in your head. Your conspiracy theory is incorrect though.

I'm not upset about a ten win season (9 win regular). I am happy with it, but I think 10 wins should be the floor.

I dont think it should be championship or bust, but I also dont buy into all the PR and excuses as to why we should feel better about Ed's 3 loss regular season than we did Miles final season.

I'm tired of excuses and constant PR blaming Miles one way or the other for everything that goes wrong. Hopefully Ed performs next year. He certainly has some of the best college football players in the U.S.

You’d be singing a completely different tune if we get ONE of the eight 50/50 calls in the a&m game..

How was that his fault?


If you want to put the Florida game on Orgeron or E that’s fine, because we had absolutely zero answer for their defensive ends

I guess I'm in the minority because I don't look at that way. LSU had plenty of oppurtunities to win that game. Same as the basketball game last night. IMO the officials didn't decide the game.

You know who keeps bringing up Miles and his performance. People like you that complain about Ed's.

I have told you man.

Your alter has been a member for two months. You haven't seen excuses or PR and should not be tired of it.

Remember, if you are an alter act like an alter.

I'm not at a computer right now to pull the drive summaries, but the offense didnt perform all that well relative to Texas A&Ms struggling defense for most of regulation.

The final offensive drive, where we ran the ball 3 times in a row near mid field didnt make you feel like a Les Miles game? We had an opportunity to end the game on offense and ran it 3 times in a row and for all the people who argue that this is simple strategy, it's absolutely not how your modern Dabo or even Saban led team would play it.

Speaking of Saban, this year is probably the first year I've EVER seen people just conceding the Bama game.

In most situations I'm not attacking his performance. This season was decent. Most times I say anything critical are in response to his performance being spun into something greater than it's been thus far.

Fair enough, but I still stand by my opinion.

Saban has always been conservative with the ball late in games and the lead. With Tua he might not but he is a defensive guy and not a good example for this situation. You act like we were kneeling instead of trying for a 1st down. If we had passed and threw an INT or had a sack fumble yall would have gone nuts saying kick the ball deep and let DA's defense win the game...no way they would have driven the ball 90 yds on our defense in the 2nd half

I'm talking about recently as in even Saban has changed, but I agree, his overall career is probably a bad example.

I think A&M played the run and dared us to throw and we didnt.

I agree with you to an extent. I believe coaches should play for the win and not care about the optics of how they lose if they are trying to win.

Of course they did. I hated that we didn't get a first down but I still loved our chances of winning with our defense on the field especially how they were playing in the 2nd half.

If it's me, I run the ball on all 3 downs there 100/100 times.

A little off subject but your statement brought back a good memory. When Bama got to the Clemson 1 yard-line and the refs called a false start on Bama. Bama did not score - they missed a FG. Later Bama got to the six yard-line and Saban must have told his players not to commit a penalty (they took it as not to hold also) because the next few plays looked like a Clemson fire drill. They were in Bama's backfield as soon as the ball was snapped. Good times.

And how about that Nick Saban fake field goal.
"That oddball sight persisted when halftime ended. Alabama moved some, stalled ultimately and lined up for a 40-yard field goal, then desperately faked it, Clemson’s Nyles Pinckney stuffing the hopeless run of Alabama holder Mac Jones."

It got so bad, poor Savion Smith faked an injury because he was getting lit up so badly.
