I am a LSU fan - I want what is best for LSU

Couldn't have said it better myself

I look at this season, and can see that in 3 of the four losses we were literally "one play" from winning each. I see we played Alabama tougher than any team on their schedule....but the old problem of lack or offense killed us.

Etling has the skill set to win an SEC Championship. He's not Manziel, but he's good enough.

Brennan will be an upgrade.

Don't know about the Passing Skills of Scott, McMilan and Narcisse. We'll have to see what they got throwing the ball.

I hope to god that we never see a QB take the field at LSU that doesn't have advanced passing skills. Solely being able to run fast and "extend plays with their feet" (As Miles used to say) without the throwing skills is hopefully dead in this program! Don't really need flat out speed, just a little pocket mobility and quickness to go along with quick information processing skills .

And whatever QB that the HC and OC settle on, better damn well be protected by an SEC Championship OL that can run and pass block on a consistent basis without mental breakdowns against the Big Boy teams. That's not happening now and is the area where we are most deficient.

LSU has decent run blocking (Made to look better than it is by the quality of the RB's) and bad pass blocking.

Want to have a great passing game? Then recruit OL's that played in a Passing Offense in HS. Don't bring in OL's that played for a team in HS that mostly ran the football and expect them to be proficient pass blockers. That's "Square Peg Round Hole" OL recruiting, just like what we've seen with the QB's under Miles.

How to fix it? O needs to go out and hire the best OL Coach that money can buy and then go recruit nation wide for SEC Championship Caliber OL's. Just me, but I'd sign 8-10 OL's in the next recruiting class. Don't settle either for for OL's that don't belong at LSU just to say that you signed an OL. Load up on Difference Makers that can play at this level. Might have to increase your recruiting budget to go all over the country to find them, but do what you have to do and whatever is necessary!.......................

I understand all your points and I'm glad that you are on board. Geaux Tigers

Scott is very accurate with good Arm Strength.

McMilan and Narcisse have rockets.

All 3 are dual threat QBs with above average speed and exception quickness. Scott is particularly designed to run btw the tackles on RPOs

I'm not so sure that Miles is that much better of a coach than CEO, all things considered. I do believe he will try to open the offense up.

---

Did you not watch our offense other than the Alabama game this year which was a wash, since Coach O took over? This will not be the Les Miles offense under O.

We will always have the skill guys here. What I do believe is that Coach O will go hard in building the offensive and defensive line. We have to get strong in the trenches and until we do we won't be able to truly compete with Alabama.

It is not the xs and os but the billies and joes ,no foriener could guarentee that he could keep our la. recruits in the state . we couldn't keep them in the seventies ,eighties and half the ninties,in this day of the internet recruits and players are always in touch , the buttholes like sabin and bear are going out the window ! We made the proper home town choice !

I don't feel like this coaching choice was the best that LSU could have realistically made.


Unfortunately it's the best our AD could make.

Yup

Just like the kid from Baton Rouge that signed with Alabama the day after Orgeron was announced. Orgeron has been recruiting this guy for at least 2 months since he was named the interim.
