re: LSU v. Opponents Talent

I think the point being made is that the talent was there last year and it is there this year. Last year the coaching staff underacheived and folk are hoping that the new hires will be the difference. Personally, I'm not comfortable with people blaming the players when objective people are telling us it was a top 10 team.

This is the bottom line and a great post.

That guy is saying we have bashed “the team and coaches”, yet our whole position is that the players are good enough, and were good enough last year, to win 10 games and get a NY6 Bowl.

We went 9-3 with a blowout loss to an 8-5 Mississippi State team and a Sun Belt team. There is no question in my mind that the players on that team were good enough to win those games had they been properly prepared and utilized.

These other guys are the ones talking down the team acting like missing a few guys made us some helpless ragtag bunch that couldn’t overcome these mediocre teams.


I’ve never said anything negative about the players and put those performances squarely on the coaches, and honestly believe this team is talented enough to get 10 wins as well. Failing to do so, yet again, would be yet another failure by this staff the same way it was under the previous coach in his final years before being relieved of his duties.
