re: JJ is a mediocre coach

Martin, Gray, Hornsby and Mickey all have a least one year of D-1 starting experience. LSU is having all of the same problems so far this year that they had last season. Yes, it is only game 3 and there is still time to improve. The problem is that LSU doesn't have much of a safety net. Their OOC schedule is weak, and the SEC isn't a great conf. There aren't going to be a ton of opportunities for "good" wins. They can't afford to struggle in OOC play and lose games while trying to "figure things out". That is exactly what is going to happen if they don't improve in a hurry
