re: the audition isn't beating teams we should beat- UPDATED.

quote:

the audition is coaching teams and executing x and o's to see if CEO could be a championship level coach, year in year out and years into the future.

I don't even think it''s X's and O's. He is a DL coach and is not equipped to get too far into the X/O weeds. Miles was also unequipped, but unlike O, was hands on, which was his downfall. Miles and O can be successful as managers who guide the ship while letting their coaches coach.

The only proper audition for a manager is to manage. Sample size is highly important, as is how he deals with coaching turnover. The two most important assests for a manager are finding/replacing great assistants and identifying talent and recruiting it.

O can recruit, but can he identify it? Brent Schaefer was highly rated and O put his offense on his shoulders. He did a good job of getting the wrong guy there. We don't and won't know if O can successfully manage a program until he actually does it. He has never done it before. Will LSU roll the dice and find out?

How many times have you seen LSU barely beat an opponent that we are heavily favored to win and the game goes down to the wire. With Miles the team would
almost always play down to the opponents level where we would usually win
but you could see no one was excited about playing. I remember reading years ago that Saban has a full time psychologist on staff for the express purpose of getting the players in the right mindset for a game no matter the opponent. Perhaps LSU should consider that.

If you can't see the difference in everything about this team that ceo has brought, I m not going to try to explain it.

For fricks sake, the OP is absolutely correct. I'm tired of hearing "he's one of us." In his only stint as a head coach, he absolutely shite the bed. He didn't do "alright". He didn't have a "flash of brilliance". Didnt do shite. He's a coonass that is enthusiastic and recruits well so you frickers want to pay him millions to run this program. Seriously. Listen to yourselves. He has no football philosophy. No identity. No record of success. He's doing a good job with les's players, les's coaches, les's secret play book.

All that will really matter is how he fares against Bama and finishes the season, because that is something we certainly haven't been doing well the last few years. He hasn't faced his biggest challenges yet, but based on how we looked before he took over, I have to credit him for that because sometimes those situations fall apart. The opposite has happened for LSU so far.

so it sounds like you agree with me?

and this is a fundamental flaw of logic.

coach o is performing better than a coach who was justifiably fired, therefore he should be the coach at LSU going forward.

name one thing that i have said that is not accurate.

All of it. Just because you think you are right doesn't make it so.

pick a single point. and tell me how it is wrong.

They were not necessarily games we would win and dominate under prior regime.
