I did my fair share of fussing after the hire and the last two games. I have decided that I will give coach o till the end of the year before I judge this season. I'm not expecting a 10 win season this year. I think most rational fans didn't. What I expect is a team that plays hard every weekend and that DOES NOT play down to talent. For me, this season isn't about wins. I would like to see the team play evey game close and hard. Although it's not about wins, we should win 9 games. Are we flawed? Yes. So is the majority of teams we play this year.

My issue is I'm having trouble being cautiously optimistic. It's like the whole offseason and camp didn't happen.

I wish LSU had played up to Mississippi State's talent.

ok...

A better evaluation would be based on progress throughout the year and a reasonable consideration of whether or not the team is heading in the right direction at a fast enough pace.

There are big issues at play. I'd take a team that plays down to its competition if it was also able to play above itself when needed against better teams. I'd take a team that played poorly at times if, by the end of the season, the young talent we have is starting to carry the load and look like some of our best players (D. White is a great example from last year). I'd accept poor execution on offense during part of the year if I see enough out of Brennan to have confidence that he's going to be a positive on this team at QB (we haven't had this in a while at LSU)

Keep your eye on the ball. Focus on what's important. Don't draw some imaginary line in the sand and ignore what is really important.

At this point I am okay with coach O. I feel the problems we are having is 1. youth,2. Jeff Grimes, and 3. Matt Canada. This motion bullshite is just bullshite. I can hear Saban now telling his player"okay guys stay in your zone don't fall for all the bullshite motions and wait for the play to come to you". This offense is not going to allow our running backs to break long runs as well.

Mother of god, the continuous lowering of standards and the bar just reach new levels.

I hope people hold O to the standard Les was held to. 10 wins seasons or better. Being satisfied for being competitive is completely unacceptable

It is all about recruiting. No HC will succeed without bring in top recruiting classes. I thought coach O was a good recruiter, I don't like what I see so far but it is too early to judge.

It's always about wins, but I hear you we need to see if the team steadily improves over the year and doesn't get embarrassed again. Let's face it this team is beating top ten teams this year.

I have not changed my stance on O.

He is gonna be what he is... we let Miles go to bring in s guy who pumped sunshine up our arse last year by setting offensive records . Which were great to see.... the way it looks so far is that the only records we may achieve this year are futility....

It's been very disturbing what I have seen so far.

Coach O was handed somewhat of a mess at OL and a young team. He isn't going anywhere this year. Realistically judge him on

1. The team Improving
2. The recruiting class this year
3. The record next year

I will say I'm concerned about number 2.
