re: Funny no one talks about this

I agree with the OP that this team is young, but I question if that too is the fault of the coaching.

Ask yourself. why doesn't LSU have players waiting in the wings that are ready to take over when a player leaves for the NFL? I think for the most part it's because Les doesn't know how to prep players and bring them along to be ready. How many times have we heard him say, "We meant to get (insert player name) some playing time, but it didn't happen. That's on me." And when you look back at the game, there was absolutely NO REASON why that player could not get in the game! Except that the head coach did not make it happen. It's usually the QB that is in question, because that's the position that is most evident to the fans. But if it's happening to the QB, it's probably happening at other positions also.

Look, I love Les as a human being, nobody can argue that he's not a good man, but enough is enough. From the cryptic post game excuses, to the poor game management, to the misuse of talent. It just has to stop. If he was coaching in another conference, he might be able to get away with his short falls, but not in the SEC. Other coaches are on to him and they are exploiting his coaching style. Superior talent is the only thing that has continually allowed him to win against most teams. Face it, he's getting out coached or overwhelmed under pressure when it counts.
