This guy is more mature than 90% of rant posters!

Well all of those dropped balls by our WR's didn't help make us look any better this year but it all goes back to coaching. But don't let facts get in the way of your opinion.

Explain to me how dropped passes are coaches fault? To be classified as a drop it means that the player should have caught it. Meaning the coach put the player in position to make the play. Sometimes players have to make plays. I know that is against the rants narrative but they go hand in hand.

Didn't one of the receivers a month ago say that if they know that our offense would run the way it has they wouldn't have come to LSU.

Don't even argue with the tards man. They don't understand the coach can't play the game for them.

Dupre implied it along the lines

So why do we even have position coaches? If our Oline is horrible at pass blocking, does it mean that they aren't getting coached properly? And if they are, then why can't we get guys who can pass block? Who's job is that? We had an abundant number of dropped passes earlier in the year. These were starters, not back ups, and not just a couple. I'm talking about 5-6 per game. Either they aren't being coached correctly or we didn't actually recruit players who could actually catch the ball. Either way, it falls back to coaching.

I was specifically talking about dropped passes which are and will always be the players fault. They are there to make the play they got a scholarship to make that play. I am in no way defending the coaching staff. They deserve most of the blame they are getting but i draw the line at dropped passes being blamed on them. By definition of a dropped pass the coach put them in the spot to make the PLAY and they are the PLAYers

Not the coaches fault but when a few drops turn into lost first downs/scoring drives, and your team loses, the coach is going to get heat for the losses. We have had several drops that could have resulted in scoring drives.
