I get the feeling from some corners of the LSU specific websites out there...

that Les Miles & the staff/company line is that he was disrespected by some coaches in-state as far as recruiting is concerned. That he's sort've offended by this. That the mantra is that you are either for us or against us.

I know one purveryor of website-related intel of the LSU variety that is not only hypothesizing this, but at the same time, indicating that the fans played a role in the likes of National Signing Day disappointments of Denzell Devall, Landon Collins, & Torshiro Davis.

In other words, from many circles, I see the fingers pointing towards HS Coaches. To the limitations of personnel. To high school coaches betraying us on the recruiting trails. To the very fans in the stands.

I see no introspection. I see no real moves to replace dead weight on the staff beyond a guy that took a promotion.

I don't see a lot of accountability amongst the members of the staff. Whether its for play on the field, personnel decisions regarding who got onto it, schemes that were devised for the kids to execute once they were on it, and quite honestly, the work put in to reel the next class of Tigers onto the suddenly green grass of Tiger Stadium.

I see many fingers from within...and they all seem to be pointing somewhere outside the walls of the Football Operations Center near the Ponderosa.

There's an old silly saying that our former Head Basketball Coach used to invoke about finger pointing and those that partake in it. Something about them never realizing that in doing so, three more end up pointing right back at you. I digress.

Spring Football will be interesting to see just how much of a shift we see in terms of our philosophy. Will it be a tectonic one, or will it be one in name only?

Can't wait...
