This team is a perfect storm

Let me get this out of the way. Orgeron is bad. Shouldn't be the coach and never should have been. He doesn't bring anything to the table. He can recruit well as a position coach....but the guys he has been under - Carroll, Miles, Kiffin, and most HC are closers. I don't see that with him so he's useless. That being said, this was set up to fail.

Throughout Miles time here LSU was usually great on D, anywhere from decent to frustrating to bad on O and at least once we were great on offense and not good on defense (2013 I think.)

This year we lost a lot on D. The replacements are either young and talented or experienced and not as talented. So we need an offense to carry that defense especially early. Unfortunately we have a below average QB - which should be no surprise given the last 10 years of QB play (besides 1 year of Mett). We have questionable RB talent, loss of several OL leading to Freshman/less talented playing, and downright awful WR play. Chark will be on an NFL squad. Right now the others don't look that way. If they are playing behind Gage, you can't convince me they are that good. Gage wouldn't start at WR for some Sun Belt teams.

This team was always going to be bad and struggle. Shouldn't perform how they have but last year was our year. Miles blew it again because he never could have a QB. We should have been a playoff team. This year was always a rebuild but when you add in coaching changes, talent departures, etc the rebuild is even worse. Moreso you hired someone who gives no schematic advantage to hide deficiencies.

If you want to see the real failure of O. It was talked about in February how LSU should land the number 1 class in 2018. O was supposed to be a big reason for that. That is not and will not happen regardless of how we are performing.

I think the defense will get better. I think the offense will go nowhere. Again, we are one dimensional. Danny seems like a good kid, but he's not an SEC QB. Brennan isn't ready. He should be because the rest of college football can have true freshman QBs ready but we seem allergic to that. But ultimately the talent on offense is very low. SEC Defense should have no problem stopping us. Tennessee will be the only toss up game to see who had quit more. Just my thoughts.
