I know this team is young & growing pains are expected, it's tough for a true freshman to make his first start on the road in the SEC, & 3 years of early departures are catching up with LSU.....having said that:
80% Coaching
20% Talent/Youth
As stated before, this team is young but for frick's sake, if the coaches don't give the young players an opportunity to compete, then what fault is it of theirs? The gameplan was HORRIBLE, the white flag was waived on the first series. Again, the talent is young & raw but the coaches are doing nothing to develop them. If I keep talking, I may change my percentages to 99% & 1%.

95% coaching.... Head coaching.
3% assistant coaching
2% player frustration

LSU could have Payton Manning at QB and Miles would F**K it up.

I'll say this and then I'm going to play golf.
I can live with LSU struggling this year because the team is so young. I can live with them making mistakes because of said youth. I will watch every game and cheer for the players just like I always have.
That being said, I will no longer support a coaching staff that absolutely refuses to put the team, and particularly the younger players, in the best position to win. The ultra-conservative game plans and instilling that "play not to lose" mindset into these young players is unacceptable to me.

60% coaching
40% players
Coaches called an absolute shite-tastic game and did very little to put our players in a position to succeed.
As little as I like to admit it and the more I think about it, a lot falls on the players though.
I was fairly pleased with the way our O line opened lanes (like they did on 1st downs when the box wasn't stacked) and the fact that our WR's got open a fair bit. TE's did fair as well but my god, the QB play was putrid. I'm a huge BH suporter and think the world of the kid and truly believe that he'll bring us to the promise land before he's gone, but he played very poor last night. Probably just a huge case of the jitters, but I still have high hopes that he'll improve.
Defense, way too much to write. One positive is that they did play much better with Beckwith in the game and were decent the mast quarter and a half. Outside of that, they whiffed on more tackles than I can count, got juked out of their shoes a dozen times, didn't wrap up on countless tackles and took horrible angles on downfield tackles.
Overall, I think we can only my go up from here.
Edit for stupid autocorect errors

Begins with the head coach. He is the CEO .
Recruiting starts with the head coach.
Teaching begins with the head coach.
Setting out a game plan begins with the coaching staff.
Miles is about 60% of the problem.
Having decent top recruiting classes that pan out are about 40% of the problem.
Everything that happens starts with Miles. 5 million reasons not to frick it up.

Coaching 100%
The play calling was terrible.
They threw to the backs 2 times. They should have gave BH some short throws on 2nd down. They never gave him a chance to gain his confidence. They gave him the wost calls possible for him to make something happen with them. Yeah he struggled but I saw a future great QB out there.
When Welter left the game for good we only gave up 17 points. I am sure he is a nice guy and works hard but he is just not a SEC LB'er. Adams needs to be a starter as well.
As a whole a lot of guys missed assignments but most of that is mental not physical and can be coached.
We are one of the youngest teams in the nation I thinks it's time to step back and realize we can't expect freshmen to come in and step on the field and just win. But the coach have to do a better job of putting the best players on the field.
Even Bama struggled with youth growing pains.
