re: When does BelowPar come here and enlighten us???

Technically speaking, not being able to find a suitable replacement is directly within Les's control, since he is the CEO of this organization.

And that's true, but my point is it sounds like an excuse. "There just wasn't any better fit out there" is an excuse and a bad one at that.

Guys,

The ready, fire, aim, mentality this board sometimes displays is hilarious. Just because TT threw up STUPID offensive performance numbers against BIG 12 defenses doesn't necessarily mean it's going to happen here, especially given LSU's current QB stable of JJ, JL, and Frosh. BB.

I'm not really sure how many know the story behind CUM's 1st season in the SEC. While at Utah CUM's offenses were some of the most productive in the nation. They were also somewhat successful against the Non-Qualifying schools Fla. played early in his 1st year. However, his offense struggled against Tenn. and Alabama, and was totally dominated and beat down by the LSU "D" under Pilini. That forced him to pull Mullen and the Offensive Position coaches together before sunrise the next morning for an emergency all day strategy session to completely redesign his offense, adding some sort of power running game. Tebow was added in 2006, further implementation of ball control and a power rushing game. There's an interview he gave on this floating somewhere on YouTube. In it he admits he had no idea how important the power running game was to control the pace of the game while neutralizing the speed upper tier SEC defenses possessed. Everyone makes fun of Les' attempts in 2009 & 2010 to instill a ball control offense. He knew if you are unable to maintain some sort of power running game, the defense is going to get gassed and gashed (See LSU 2009 and 2010) with an offense that gives up too many 3 and outs.

Maybe Leach can modify his offensive style to that more conducive to possess at least some sort of power running game, who knows. But if you think LSU is going to be successful slinging it 40 or 50 times a game in some sort of "system type" offense similar to the Oregon's, Nevada's, or Hawaii's of the world, you may want to reconsider. Just look at what Petrino has done at ARKY. His 2010 offense is much more power run oriented than ANYTHING he ran while at Louisville, even with a gunslinger and strong armed QB in Mallett.

I'm not saying he will fail as LSU's OC, I'm just suggesting everyone look at what the more successful offensive philosophies have been built around, and the core of virtually all of them is a power running game. Just food for thought.

Soooo, you're not sure. Seriously, do you have mild brain damage? I mean, if so, I think you're getting by quite nicely. If not, well....

That fact that Les is considering Leach makes me like him even more. I guess we just need to know if Leach is interested. I will fix that tomorrow. I think he is very interested. Only one way to find out, ask him.

we need to find someone who has the arkansas/denver bronco of old type offense. GREAT zone run schemes make average RBs look really good and opens up the passing. This would be a more pro style offense.

^^^^^this!!

I would love to see a smash mouth line of scrimmage dominating offense!!!

He suffers from extreme Belowpar envy.

He hates that people listen to BP. I mean it really gets to him.

We could rename the student section "Jean Lafitte's Section" and he'd come in an instant.

Or offer him booty!!

So BelowPar chooses to remain anonymous and I have to just take his words as the truth at the time? Do you understand how retarded that sounds?

I don't have a problem with BelowPar as a person, but I think it's funny that if anyone else who may have sources has a different version of how things play out, they are automatically wrong and we cannot question Belowpar or his intentions at all.

Talk about a bunch of lemmings.

Wow, you really are dumb, or you're being deliberately obtuse.

Belowpar has an extremely solid reputation and has been fricking money for four years. No other poster on this board has his reputation for being *right*. You don't have to 'take his words', you merely need to look at his body of work compared to others with so-called 'sources...and take into account that Chicken knows who he is and vouches for him. To ignore his history and bonafides is to act, quite frankly, retarded.
