re: Anybody else notice a constant influx of “It’s not O’s fault” and “not Pelini’s fault”

I don’t think the posts are written by LSU media, more just people closely connected to O and his inner circle.

It is amusing that before if the tiger came down with some type of stomach virus it was the head coaches fault. But now the list of excuses as to why it can’t be Coach O‘s fault runs half a mile.
Coach O has lost this team. Hopefully, he can get it back

Nope.

No, everyone believes it’s the Rants fault.

I’m going to love ripping a hole in your arse next season on a weekly basis. It’s coming prick.

Really asking. Do you honestly think the football program is as secure as it was last season? Everything is just perfect?
There's a major disconnect over the program and for it to get to this point from where we were not even a year ago, it's concerning to see.
Everything is not cool. Kids are opting out, whatever you choose to call it, there's a disconnect between the HC and his players. O has even said as much. "Put this on me. Gotta fix it" yet little gets fixed. He's had all season to kinda right the ship and that hasn't happened. I worry about future recruits, current players opting out, now O is throwing darts at the fans like it's the fans fault. None of that is a good look for him.

Of course the program is “not as secure” as last season. Last season was magical. The current season has had a lot of bad luck with injuries and opt outs on top of losing a ton of juniors to the NFL. I also think O has total responsibility for Pelini. However I believe O will make changes quickly. He did this in the past. I also think next season will be significantly improved, particularly if Brennan is healthy. When we are back to 10 wins next year and building to another title, I am going to enjoy calling out all the haters on here who hated O but kissed his arse last year then jumped on the team when they were down. As for the “disconnect”, any players who are weak pansies who would choose to lose because somebody didn’t tell them that cops are awful or hold their hand enough, those guys are cancers and can’t leave fast enough.

So everything is hunky dory right? Just a blip on the radar screen. All is well on the home front. OK, got ya.

I hope you are correct. If O survives this season (and once again, I seriously doubt he will be fired because of the record. If he isn't coaching next year it will be because shite hit the fan with other stuff) then I think his only chance of remaining the coach at LSU long term is if he gets a homerun hire at both OC and DC.
I don't think he's a good coach at all. He has to surround himself with good coordinators. He's an exceptional recruiter, but that's it. I think his track record proves this.
So, I certainly see a path to success for O, but I think it's highly unlikely that it happens.

You have more faith in him than I do. I was conflicted when he made the interim, then he was made the HC and we got better every season. We get to last season and it couldn't have been better. Then we get to this season and it's like, "what happened?" I mean we should've been at least respectful and competitive. And he made terrible hires. He's made one good hire. Like I said, people expected a drop-off but not like this.
Who's in charge of fixing it? Game 9 looks for the most part like game 1. You can only use the "he won a natty" excuse for so long.

So you condone brushing players out the door as long as it suits your narrative? What does that tell the potential recruitments?
So much for being the "one team, one heartbeat." Again, that's coming from the HC.
But we can't hold O accountable for any of that. It has to be the 'weak pansy' players. No way it could be anything the HC did. I think there needs to be some 'tough love' but I don't see that from O this season. He seems to be more concerned with other things, not the program. I'm not going to say what but we all know what it is. If this were his 'dream job,' seems to me, he'd put more emphasis on it. He's the HC. It starts there.
Give me a break. It blows my mind how far some of you will go the ends of the earth to defend the man. It's nuts.
Again, I don't think he should be fired but I also don't think you're being very realistic.
We've made little adjustments and if we were undefeated, you wouldn't be bringing up the Covid stuff. Georgia looks to be doing fine with that, Clemson looks to be ok, Alabama looks to be ok, Florida looks to be ok.
So where did we go off the rails? It has to be the 'pansy players' right? It couldn't be because the HC has no idea of how to keep his players solidified, aka 'one team, one heartbeat,' now could it?
It's always someone else's fault. Forget about the guy actually driving the bus. O needs to fix this and fast. Have people already in mind to hire and I also think it would be in the best interest of the school that O doesn't decide on who to hire as new coordinators. His track record speaks for itself.
This is just my opinion, no sources or anything but it's obvious that there is something amiss.

I believe there's fault and regression on all levels from EO on down to the players but it's going to always fall on the head coach. His so called mentors/friends swole his already big head up last year. Now let's hope they're humbling the shite out of him with some honest critical feedback whether he's asking for it or not.

I agree.
If he chooses to get an inflated ego and such from his buddies, that's on him but the bottom line is that he's in charge of a football program and he seems to have put it on the back burner. The guy needs to wake up. I don't know if he got an inflated ego because of last season or what but that was last season.
You get all the praise, which he got, now he gets the critical feedback. Part of being a HC.
The guy is paid millions of dollars to do exactly that.
People aren't going to go to games when the HC can't even rally his players. That's a fact. And he's on the verge of that.
Lose your players, lose the crowd, lose the support. That's a bit extreme but it's leaning that way, and I hate to say that.

Has the convicted felon decided to retire the Tiger Ree account?
It was clever having “Ree” mention in passing occasionally that he lived in Houston. Nice diversion.

It's a fake season. It's the NCAA's fault.

One team, one heartbeat is a two way street. The coach commits to you and you commit to the team. It does not mean if players quit on the team you have to keep coddling them indefinitely. In fact, I would argue keeping cancers in your locker room is a disservice to all the other players who have actually bought into a “one team” approach.
