re: Is this pretty much proof that Rettig is out as well?

Maybe. I just don't know how anyone could possibly say Rettig/Jennings are better because we haven't really seen them play, or Rivers for that matter. Well, we saw Jennings in the bowl game and it was 2009 offense all over again.


Well, I'll back the coaches that watch him every day and support their decision. They blessed Rivers transfer because they know he's not the guy they want. What's so hard to understand about that and why is the sky falling because one guy does not fit the system they want to move forward with.

Because the system we "want to move forward with" was a system that Miles is incapable of running. I remember the arguments before, when Crowton was the OC. People would say that it's just Crowton that sucks, and can't run the option. When Crowton leaves, we get Studrawa as OC, and the same inept offense persisted. Which leaves one to believe, that Les was calling the offensive plays.

This past year, we finally had a break to stagnation, with a good QB in Mett, and a great OC in Cameron. We weren't running silly arse options to the near side, or the standard, 1st and 15, dive up the middle. But Miles loves these "dual threat" qb's, but he does not know how to put an effective offensive gameplan behind it.

I guess we'll see exactly who is calling plays again, this year, if we do, indeed go to the option route. I just pray to God, we actually try to develop these qb's into passers, not runners.

You guys crack me up with the same cliches over and over again.

When did I say the sky was falling? I still think we have a chance to go 10-2 as our ceiling next year. That's not sky falling.

Anything less than "LSU #1 OH YEAH!" is considered sky is falling to you guys.

The fact that we can go up tempo air it out to a slow down ground and pound should tell you that our offense is wide open, hard to game plan against and that we can mix and match personnel. Our coaching staff is great and when the defense matured we'll be in good hands and lots of fun seasons to come.
