re: The Offense, Offensive Coordinator & QB

Question: Does anyone know (w/out googling) who UGA’s OC is? I didn’t think so. But they did ok. My point is that we seem to think they key to LSU football is hiring a well-known OC. The well-known guys normslly become HC’s.

Oh, I get it, you are stupid.

The players on that offense masked how mediocre that OC was. Chubb and Michel are maybe one step lower than Fournette and Guice, and both were 100% healthy the entire season. Jake Fromm was pretty much considered a top 4 QB coming out in 2017, and I considered him the 2nd best QB from that class (best being Russell Wilson 2.0). Their third string RB was a 5 star true freshman, and produced immediately.

On that offense alone just from off the top of my head
Three 5 star RBs (two seniors both with previous 1000+ yard seasons), the 4th ranked QB recruit, the #1 ranked 5 star TE, and two #1 ranked 5 star athletes, from previous classes. Oh yeah, they also had Calvin Ridley's brother.

Four of their top 6 pass catchers we're 5 stars, the others were Calvin Ridley's brother, and a former top ranked JUCO who was a senior.

Their top 3 RBs were 5 stars including two very accomplished seniors. Their fourth string RB was a top 5 RB from his class as well.

Top 5 QB, 5 star TE, and I bet their OL was loaded.

The dude put the offense on auto as the players took care of everything. QB ran a pretty game manager type offense, but with so much talent everywhere, and him already being as good as he was, their offense did really well.

No LSU needed a culture change and decided not to go with that. There were OCs aplenty at the FBS ranks, as well as HCs at the FCS ranks, that they could have gone after.

Ed and Alleva, and all the other fools up top would rather play it safe and let you guys continue to eat up 8-9 win seasons.
