If you think penalties are what cost us that game

They were certainly a factor. There's isn't 1 thing that generally costs a team a game.

It was so worrisome that Orgeron thought the young OL couldn't handle the shifts and changed everything up. Now, THAT decision is very reasonable to criticize.

Agreed

The staff Orgeron put together? Yup. The coaching decision he's making?

The lack of respect he commands from his assistants? Yup.

Could these not also be factors in getting destroyed by or getting beaten by inferior opponents? If the staff and players aren't on the same page, it often won't matter if you have superior athletes. I think the lack of identity and cohesiveness is a huge factor in why we've played so poorly. And don't take this to mean I'm implying we don't have issues up front. We do. But there is really nothing you can say to me to convince me that we don't have the horses to beat State and Troy with a competent gameplan and with everyone being on the same page.

Of course not. But, I think we can look at the game and say, the most significant issue we are having is...

When MSU is running for 6 yards per attempt and you team with a limited QB ability can't run the ball consistently and can't protect long enough to throw it downfield, you've got a MAJOR problem. LSU could have had zero penalties and lost that game that night.

Of course. That's my point.

But, you are rejecting the idea that the OL issue is significant and rejecting the idea that Orgeron didn't really create it.

You seem to think that you can't admit that Orgeron inherited a major problem (this is the truth) and still conclude that Orgeron is a substandard head coach (also the truth). Those two things are not mutually exclusive.

Lying about the OL play, or the level of talent diminishes your argument against Orgeron.. It doesn't further it. Be honest in your criticism.
