Accurate assessment of coaching

Successful coaches have 4 jobs: establish culture, player development, pregame strategy and in game adjustments. Game 1, we were a total failure in 3.

Player development: Mekhi Wingo aside, no LSU player looked nor played better than last year. FSU players by comparison were bigger stronger faster more skilled and composed compared to last year.

Pregame strategy: we showed nothing new and we obviously had no idea what to expect from FSU. Our offense is as follows: hope OL win assignments in run blocking, ask OL to hold pass protection 1-2 seconds longer than they should, give receivers routes that take too long to develop in not enough space that allow DBs to keep them in front od them, WRs in wrong positions *Nabers isnt winning most battles on outside, he's a JJettas slot type*, and a QB who's obviously been told don't turn it over take easy read don't force and just run.

In game adjustments: in all of our last 5 losses, Denbrock had a masterful game plan...for 15 plays. In each loss his offense started to stall mid 2nd quarter and in 2nd halves it was nonexistent. His offense it antiquated even by upper midwest standards.

Its 2023, any team evening daring to challenge for a conference championship let alone playoffs has to score 35. Asking players to get us there by simply winning their individual battle is why Les Miles left numerous chips on the board, otherwise Fournette alone would have been enough to win. Go back and watch Florida game from 2019. Coaching single handedly won that game.

Final assessment: bama, aTm, ole miss and auburn are the only potential losses left due to coaching battle. Maason Smith, personal changes on D and pace and space on offense can be enough to get to 10 wins or Atlanta.
