re: We are retiring the "we are young" stuff for 2 years at least, right?

you were part of the group that consistently posted that youth is never an excuse and there shouldn't be a reason that this team shouldn't contend.......
nope. i think youth signals recruiting/developmental failures
but i believe that "youth" should never be a perpetual excuse. this year we get to use the card. we are not good this year, and it is expected.
if we have to use it next year b/c we suck, then that's an issue with more than "youth"
for the record i don't care if we lost 6 games this year, as long as we used this year to develop our young players for next year. that's one reason i was so mad at how our coaches fricked up using the ULM game. we wasted 4 crucial quarters of development. harris, adams, beckwith, LF, etc could have used 3 quarters of live play to work out issues to be more prepared to play today. THAT is the stuff i've had issues with this year with the staff

You act like no other team has ever had an issue there. I know you're just going to bring up and compare to Alabama though. So there's that.

That's a you problem and you're smarter than that.
Every level of every game, there will be learning curves, growing up, learning systems, learning playbooks, learning defensive schemes.....
Generally, for the most part, college players don't become solid - elite in their first couple of years. Their Jr. years are when these kids turn the corner. To think otherwise, is silly. There ARE kids that grow up sooner, but those kids are the exception, not the rule. To think that LSU is immune to any of this is just being downright intolerant and unfair to those kids on the field.

sFP, you are talking out of both sideS of you arse now. You say that you would be ok with 6 losses this year as long as it was used to develop for next year.
If a coach does this, how do you think it makes Kenny Hilliard feel about coming back? Or la'el Collins? Seniors would never trust the coach that gives up on one year for the development for the next year.
The only time "youth" becomes an excuse is when it is at either an important position, or multiple positions. This year happens to be qb and DT.
SFP, you need to go hang out a a coffe shop with all of the self-proclaimed intellectuals of the world.
