my biggest problems with Les Miles

1) our of sync recruiting (position wise). it seems every year we are loaded at some positions and thin as hell at others. maybe this is a talent evaluation issue as well; TE's for example. we sign a ton of them and all of a sudden one goes down and we can't run the ball. we are losing 2 or 3 OL and it seems we only have a coupla commitments there. we wait until this class to sign LB'ers? it's like we didn't know last year or the year before we'd need LB'ers to play the game?
2) every year we have a young team. ok, we lose some juniors to the draft but so does everyone else. I think we are always young because we wait for the cupboard to be bare before we sign some guys. next year, our OL may contain 2 soph.s and 3 first year players and our lb's will be pretty much all underclassment. make no mistake, 2016 we will, once again be A YOUNG TEAM.
3) in game management. we just don't even try to develop a passing game early in the season when we are playing weaker teams. we also don't break in back up qb's in these games. lastly, when LSU takes the lead, I know we're gonna lose it because our O goes in the tank with a lead.
I really think our "scheme" is fine even tho our execution of it stinks. our failure to recruit enough guys in the trenches and lb's every year is really hurting us.

every year? we were known not too long ago for rotating lineman after nearly every play

and what happened? we must have quit recruiting them or missed on most of them.

As far as Less is concerned there is nothing wrong with his offense. It's the players failure to execute that is the problem. You have to realize that you have a problem before you can begin to address it. This is the reason that Less won't change.

i don't know man...shite happens. recruits don't pan out all the time on every team.
just saying...your "every year" notion is bogus

Wow!
From u Grandad? Youre better than this.
1. We arent Bama Texas, USCw, or Ohio State my friend. Now we're taking shots at Miles' recruiting prowess.News flash:
Louisiana although a very talented state doesnt produce enough talent that will go to LSU and fit the scheme every year. Where are the QB's OL DL? Especvially QB's Miles loses to teams that have superior QB play. Im sure any coach can beat an equal when they are totally outclassed at Q@B. Somebody reads something about La. has the most NFL talent "per capita" and now everyone thinks little Louisiana should dominate the entire college football world each and every year.
2. I dont hear many coming to Miles defense with this. Thats life in college football. 11 years and counting should show he's handled this pretty well.
3."when LSU takes the lead, I know we're gonna lose it because our O goes in the tank with a lead."
Seriously, come on man.

Wasn't it like a year or two ago when we set the record for the most juniors to leave early with 10 or something like that.

now you're starting to sound like Les Miles himself at a press conference

Now we are blaming Miles recruiting?!? This is getting a bit ridiculous.

well he's not wrong per se. But the issue here is that he's the one ultimately responsible for players executing as well.

We only have 3 offensive lineman in the NFL right now.
Pretty telling stat.

my biggest problems with Les Miles
Having to watch LSU get absolutely skullfricked on national TV for three consecutive games during a month in which the games and opponents matter.
For the third game ... it was well known that his seat was hot (supposedly) ... he proclaimed the team "ready" ... and then LSU got destroyed.
He's a big boy in a big boy business. Mark Richt was held accountable. Poor Mr. Sympathy was not. Instead, he somehow managed to get carried off the damn field after a lackluster win over a team with no pulse.
And ... now ... it's like none of it ever happened or mattered.
It's like Bama's loss to Ole Miss or Keyser fricken Soze ... POOF! VANISHED! Never happened.

i don't know how many on this board actually played sports....but the coaching staff can only do so much. once a player steps on the field they also have a job to do.

I didn't blame his recruiting on a blanket basis. we recruit so well at rb, wr and cb it distorts the rankings. we are not CONSISTENLY recruit well at some positions and it's causing us to have a young team just about every year in some key positions. that's all.

Are you, in fact, trying to blame the players by calling them out for not playing well? I'm pretty sure that's against the TD commandments.
i'm just stating facts man. i didn't call anyone out
