re: Does this season change your view of Coach MM regardless of how this season finishe

I will be honest and admit I've been harsh on MM earlier in the year at times where I've been more emotional. I do have some issues with his coaching, and I've pointed them out. I had issues with his predecessors, too. No coach is perfect nor are they every fan's cup of tea.

I do think MM is a good coach. I think it took him a while to fully adjust to the responsibility that is LSU. I think his first year happened, and it sucked, but we need to move on. I think that although our prospects were obviously better than 2-16 SEC, I think that our roster was genuinely garbage. Juice Hill and Kendal Coleman are the WORST players I've ever seen put on an LSU jersey. I don't even think John Wooden could make the NCAAT with those guys.

Our roster is a lot better than last year and I think we'll all be pleasantly surprised with our record this year. Bear in mind we have had a HARD schedule both in and out of conference, with our most difficult SEC games already behind us. We've done better than expected and we're gonna finish strong these last few SEC games.

McMahon's players this year obviously love him and playing for LSU. Our boys play hard, and they want to win. I can't say the same for last year... I think what's gonna hold us back will always be recruiting. We need to hire someone to help out with recruiting.
