Kedwards, I disagree with your view that coaching was not a significant cause of the loss to Florida.
Jackson (and, perhaps Guice) cost us plenty in that game, but when LSU got into the red zone on offense, we were outcoached consistently. Thus, lots of yards, no points.

We disagree then, because if guice doesn't fumble inside the 5 Lsu goes up by double digits and the outcome probably turns into a bliwout. That wasn't on coaching. Jackson gives up a 90+ yard touchdown while getting tossed aside like a ragdoll, then proceeds to fumble kickoff. Plain and simple, those two players caused the loss, and likely prevented us from a blowout win. Lsu was much the better team and 400+ to 150 at one point kind of stresses that. It wasn't like a typical Miles loss where we have 280 yards total offense....I can deal with losses like that, because I know if those teams played 10 times on a neutral field, Lsu wins by far the majority...just huge mistakes by players on that day.

As for the offensive play calling, I don't think anyone thought our interim was going to outcoach many other teams. Hopefully Canada has alleviated that situation. Jmo
