The One thing that matters most for LSU football.

Recruiting QB's from High School systems like the ones that Mauck (LSU), Flynn (LSU), Russell (LSU),Mettenberger (UGA-recruited), McCarron (Bama), McElroy (Bama), Stafford (UGA), Allen (Arkansas) and similar styles of QB's played in during their HS development. For the most part, while none of these young men are perfect (the Mettenberger issue clearly some to mind), these young men had the preparation in HS to execute at the SEC level. Sure, they needed coaching, but they did not need a major development process. And they predominantly represented their schools well while in the respective programs. They were leaders.
Stay away from ANY QB (Louisiana, or otherwise) who do not play in such schemes in HS.
If they play in a QB run-a-lot HS system, recruit them as an athlete, not a QB.
Change that ONE THING, and you will change everything for the LSU Tiger football program.
Miles has refused to do this. Or, he has failed to do this. Call it whatever you want, but he needs to do this WAY ABOVE anything else.
He has consistently fished in the wrong ponds for the most important position on the entire roster. And when he has fished in the right ponds, he has failed to get a character guy, or has failed to bring him to LSU, or he has failed to keep him at LSU.
If after the 2008/2009 era, Miles would have done this, we would never have gone through this current debacle.
I firmly believe that if we would have switched QB's with Bama in the Saban era, we would have at least the same Natty's that Bama has had in that same timeframe.
Unless Miles changes this one thing, no coaching changes or adjustments are going to matter.
Miles: Go recruit the right QB. Fix that, and EVERYTHING ELSE takes care of itself.

Yall r dickks. Why was his post "retarded". He's 100% correct in his assessment.

So, where do you think that this post has gone wrong.
Why do you assess that a swap of QB's would not change the result drastically?

Recruit better QBs.
What an astute observation.

So if we had Marcus Mariotta he wins the Heisman? The problem isn't getting someone here, it is developing them once they get here. No one has been able to do it other than Jimbo in the Miles era. For the love of God I don't understand why we can get rid of the TE coach and just hire a QB coach and have the WR coach handle the TE. Have the OC call plays and have the QB coach on the sidelines. Teach them while the game is going on.

Its failed to do so. He realized his state was not going to produce an adequate # anymore 5-6 years ago. He hired CC just for this one thing at 1.5 million a year. Find me an OOS QB. He won the Mettenberger sweepstakes in Kansas, somehow. He has searched from Indiana to Los Angeles looking for a good QB. He fully understands that his great teams deserve a good QB.
They arent growing on tress and many teams find themselves each year without a good QB. This year maybe 5 teams in the SEC out of 14 had average or better QB play. Even Kevin Sumlin cant get one and he runs a pass happy system and recently had a Heisman winner. That should tell u something about how difficult it is to find and then develop one against these defenses.
Sure would be nice if Louisiana could at least produce 1 every 4 years, but thats wishing in a barrel.
But u are correct, without good QB play, you arent winning the SEC title anymore.

OP is right. Also, the talk about acquiring a pure QB coach, then letting WR coach take on the TE's, that's fair. Yes, development is about as equal as an issue. But I swear, the base problem is getting the right kind of QB to start with. Why do we get these dual threats when we are a run team which happens to have some of the most talented receivers (it's hard to tell without consistent passing to them)?
