ok then the issue is the kids you're recruiting.

and then its the players responsibility to play to his potential once he steps on the field

Tes, 3 Of them were hurt at times this year. And Moreau really was one of the last takes for missing out on others. And that happens at every school.
The oline recruiting looks strong under Grimes. I have no issue rt now. And if some of the jrs don't leave, then LSU will trot out a line next year with players that have started and won't need to put true frosh on the line.
I already rebutted the early season passing as it pertains to this season and the fact you lose a game and open up against a division opponent that worked you last year. So the first "shitty" team you play was in week 4. In that game the wrs blew it. How can you work on the passing in a game away from home if the wrs drop easy passes? You can't, so you run the ball.

Your number 1) was spot on! All these TEs and we lose a full back and TE and have no one ready to step up.

Lombardi once said EXCUSSES are a LOSERS ALIBI. Nobody has more excuses that Les Miles and the Mile's lovers

Actually it isn't.
Gordon, hurt.
Smith, hurt.
Jeter, seemed to be nicked after bama.
That leaves you with true frosh Foster Moreau and Jacory Washington, who looks to be taking a red shirt.

Fact is it's the coach's responsibility
... at that level and that salary ... to figure out a way to compete for Championships and certainly be competitive in the SEC West.
Let's recap:
MSU - won; MSU missed FG to win game.
AU - LSU dominant blow-out.
Bama - beaten soundly.
Arkansas - beaten soundly.
Ole Miss - blown the frick out.
TAMU - late TD to seal victory.
1 blow-out victory, 2 close wins, and 3 convincing losses.
Where is any of that incorrect?

I agree with some of this but we have had a ton of attrition with the draft and transfers. We lost Melvin jones due to grades 1 or 2 linebackers to transfers. We lost out on multiple QBs. Stud was a huge recruiting problem for lineman as was brick and Chavis. Recruiting will be fixed with the addition of Steele and O. I agree with the game management part. Some of the problems 10 years ago are still problems in game management

4) He does NOT game plan. No strategy. He never says, "Guys, Mississippi State couldn't defend a pass even if the receivers were blind, so we're going to throw it 55 times Saturday to exploit this glaring weakness."
No, we run like we always have and pray they miss a field goal at the end.

Now we're just known as Arkansas. At least our coach is nice.
Arky? The Razorbacks, right now, are a better football team than LSU. So is Ole Miss. So is Bama.
Arky beat up on LSU two years in a row, so, it's quite clear to any rational observer that Arky has a better team right now.

If the players are having trouble executing your scheme two years in a row then common sense would tell you that the scheme needs to be changed or adjusted accordingly. That's the main reason why people wanted Miles gone.

Just earlier this year the anti's were blaming Miles for recruiting too many TE's.
He just needs to find a freaking QB somewhere. When he finally did with Mett the defense had its 1 yr out of ten down year. Alot of things have to go right to only lose 1 SEC game a yr. Very little room for error with injury suspension turnover or a timely bad call from a ref.
"Lombardi once said EXCUSSES are a LOSERS ALIBI. Nobody has more excuses that Les Miles and the Mile's lovers"
We feel the same way about the anti's. We lose a game and they get the calculators out until they find something to blame on Miles. If he fixes the QB situation someone else will get all the credit. Anything that goes wrong its his fault anything positive had outside influences.
Some of u should work for a boss thats just like your pouty asses.

This is A glaring and ugly fact. This is what's frustrating to people. There is simply no plan to attempt to exploit other teams weaknesses. It's basically lazy and it's gross negligence and the reason that LSU should've gone through with the firing
