- New strength coach- Need to beef up both lines, esp OL
Moffitt is the best strength coach in the nation. Are you crazy?
Considered by many in college football to be one of the nation's premier strength and conditioning coaches, Tommy Moffitt enters his 17th season at LSU after coming to the Tiger staff from the University of Miami.
In 16 years with the Tigers from 2000-15, Moffitt helped strength train and condition an LSU football team that won 160 games during that span, easily the best stretch in school history. It was Moffitt's offseason program that helped pave the way to national titles in 2003 and 2007 for the Tigers and LSU's undefeated regular-season in 2011.
Moffitt was named the 2003 College Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year by America Football Monthly. Moffitt has been part of national championship football teams at LSU (twice), Miami and Tennessee.
Moffitt was appointed LSU's strength and conditioning coordinator on Jan. 10, 2000. In February 2000, Moffitt was named the 1999 Collegiate Football Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year by the Professional Football Strength and Conditioning Coaches Society.
In 16 years with the Tigers, Moffitt has developed LSU into one of the most durable teams around by combining a program that focuses on both strength and speed. Moffitt has also incorporated yoga and karate routines in the Tigers' offseason program, which increases the player's flexibility, while forcing the team to stay focused for a lengthy period of time.
Moffitt served as the head strength and conditioning coach at Miami for two years, helping head coach Butch Davis rebuild the Hurricane program. While at Miami, Moffitt was named the 1998 Big East Strength Coach of the Year. Moffitt went to Miami after four seasons, 1994-97, as associate head strength and conditioning coach at Tennessee.
A 1986 graduate of Tennessee Tech, Moffitt started his career as an assistant football coach at John Curtis High School in River Ridge, La., from 1987-94, earning the 1992 National High School Strength Coach of the Year award given by the Professional Football Strength and Conditioning Coaches Society.
Born in Springfield, Tenn., Moffitt is married to the former Jill Beron and they have three children, Clay, who is a pitcher at LSU-Eunice, Aaron, who is an all-state defensive lineman for state champion Catholic High School, and Brady.

2017 is the year....lose all of your top skill position talent, introduce new offensive system, play both East opponents on the road who have established they are top of their division, and get Alabama and Ole Miss on the road too.
If we run the table next year, it could rival the 2011 regular season schedule.

not happening!!at least 5 juniors gone.no way!

Defensively LSU will be great. Tigers will lose some juniors and seniors but Aranda in year two will be a menace as there is enough talent on this side to overcome a few departures. Offensively we will be better than people think. '17 will be the first year post Miles offense and that will pay bigger dividends than people realize

Brandon has all the god given talent.
Why do people keep saying this???
He has no accuracy. No ability to read defenses. No ability to check down. No pocket presence.
Yes, he has a cannon. But that's not all it takes.

This is exactly what people mean. God given talent to throw a football. Just like if you had a guy who could throw a baseball 100MPH, but can't pitch. If someone could take that God given talent and teach him to pitch, viola. Same is true here. If someone can teach him, maybe he can succeed.

there wont be one. This was the year. Which is why it is all more disappointing that Miles wasnt fired last season. You can't get years like this back.

If all the juniors come back then maybe, THIS was our year!

You know the qbs here don't have what it takes to win a NC.
They missed on Dak and Shea.

Jimbo turns Etling into the second coming of Matt Flynn, Guice breaks the single season rushing record, and Aranda fields the best defense in the country.

dukke v was answering Dubaitiger, who said Guice would be back in 2018. So . . . your post was totally irrelevant and dukke v already knew that.

He has no accuracy. No ability to read defenses. No ability to check down. No pocket presence.
Also as far as accuracy goes he obviously has terrible accuracy in the short/intermediate game but he blows Danny out of the water when it comes to deep ball accuracy.

Fisher turns Harris into a Heisman candidate with the best RB in the country complimenting him
To be fair, he did make Christian Ponder and EJ Manuel 1st round picks. So not out of question

Think Brandon Harris has both feet out of the door, with no plans on returning to Baton Rouge
