re: Which is most important--good coaching or talented football players?

Every year, the media creates the narrative that LSU has the most talented team in the country with a buffoon as head coach who just tries to keep them in line.

It's just not true. Miles is a very capable coach who develops talent and creates a game plan that, when combined with the players he brings in, is capable of winning just about every game.

If our special teams weren't that great the past few years, we wouldn't have been so dominant, because our QBs were pretty terrible. Special teams gave us a short field consistently. What made our special teams stand out more than other teams? Coaching.
