Given the current and past situations at QB, I am very excited looking forward. This BCS game will be the last pass this offensive coaching staff will get. They have said or implied that they held back due to their QB's, specifically in the passing game. There will be no excuses next year with Mett. He has the talent, tools, and the players around him. If he flops, this staff will be known for not being able to develope a good QB and we will probably have an even harder time recruiting/keeping one. I don't think Les will let that happen. I think this will loosen his grip on the offensive scheme and playcalling. Wishful thinking maybe, but why not be positive.

Les is like a C student in high school. He does just enough to get by and not fail. I doubt he wins a championship but probably a bcs bowl game which will make tiger nation happy while bama goes full steam ahead with top 5 recruiting class every year.

i think that once it's mett and not jj, we'll go back to the power running, i formation sets that we did early with j lee. once that happens, playaction and check downs will be more prevalent.

I think you are right which is why he hire Krags.. krags only had one year with JJ and lee he did what he could with both we say some improvement with lee.. i think thats why mett didn't start b/c give him 1 full year and a spring and summer with krags to help him rather than just throw him to wolves.. like we had to with jj and lee...Plus crowton did them no favors..

I'm more concerned with OL protection of QB.Mett will just need a great O-Line.We have the backs and WR's.Watch Dural from Breaux Bridge.He will be the next great receiver at LSU.

one trait of Les is he tends to respond to problems when they become very obvious.

No defense? Hire Chavis.
Crowton sucks? Quietly ease him out and hire Kragthorpe.
Poor qb? Watch him go out and recruit qb's.

Saban did the same thing. if you remember 2002, he had NO qbs after Mauck got hurt. Said that wasn't going to happen again and signed Flynn and Russell. Told Lane to take a hike when he wanted to be the only signee at that position.

If I were a standout high school QB, I would NEVER consider coming to LSU so long as Les Miles is the coach of the team.

Anyone and I do mean anyone, can recognize fair from unfair. Treating Lee as he was treated after leading LSU to 8 - 0 struck all college football fans as "unfair" and this includes top recruits.

Who knows if that mess on display a week ago, might have had something to do with This top recruit Gunther Kiel changing his mind. And for those angry about him stiffing LSU, he stiffed Indiana before you so get over it.
