Little confidence in the QBs compared to the running game. At the end of the day, I think CLM knew the record at the end of the year was what was going to cost him his job. He would rather have LSU competitive in every game and go 8-4 at worst than allow for a ton of turnovers that are back breakers in the SEC and have a potential 5-7 year like the UGAs and Floridas have had.

That said, CLM still took a crap ton of heat the year we had Mett, OBJ, Juice, and Hill. The offense was great that year and the defense sucked. We went 9-3 and everyone was still calling for Les's head. The reality is that LSU's fan base is never satisfied and never will be. When the team jumped out to 2-2 last year, the writing was on the wall that we were probably going to have another 8-5 season at best and the call for CLM to be let go got too loud.

this is another myth i see perpetuated here just because we had a 3k passer, 1k rusher and 2 1k receivers. those are individual stats. go look up where our offense ranked in the SEC and nation that year and get back to me.
