nope. you're too positive about it. if you were about a 2.5-2 you're opinion would be weighted accordingly

My opinion is, as I've stated elsewhere: ABC
(Anyone But Crowton)
(Anyone But Crowton)

Your opinion is about the norm, I'd say. Most are "cautiously optimistic/just happy gary is gone/anyone but crowton/wouldn't care if miles hired an apple tree."

I don't pretend to know much of anything when it comes to assistants. There are so many variables that go into these things that I am not privy to, I really am not qualified to make any sort of educated judgements just yet. But the fan in me is not all that fired up. But I'll still be really optimistic.

an apple tree probably wouldn't throw a screen to ridley 7 yards in the backfield on 3 and 20 from the 50 when you need 15 yards for a realistic game-winning FG attempt.

would also produce a delectable post-game treat.

Well, he can't be any worse than Crowton and he is a pro-style coach. I hope this works out.

fair synopsis.

quote:Miles' statement didn't mention recruiting and it's usually one of the things he's big on when talking up hires. May or may not be telling on what he'll bring from that standpoint.
Stubbs, Miles, Billy, and Stud will get together, roast a pig and talk foosball while Frank Wilson does all the recruiting and shite.

Everyone knows if you are a bad head coach, then you are also a bad coordinator, Gregg Williams is a prime example. Dick Lebeau another. Cam Cameron another.
Posted on 1/20/11 at 5:47 pm to josh336
what if you're a mediocre coordinator?
Posted on 1/20/11 at 5:48 pm to Books
how do you know he'll be mediocre?
FWIW, I don't think its a slam dunk he'll succeed here, but he should be given a fair chance. None of us got to interview him and he had improving offenses as an OC.

I don't, that's what his history shows; it doesn't point to him being great. How will everyone feel if it takes three yrs for him to get LSU's offense in the top 50?

If it takes 3 years but it happens, then I can deal with that. But lets also remember he's never had this kind of talent.
