re: Same Issues Every Year

This is what I wonder too. I can't wrap my head around how we continue to not address the same damn issues year in and year out. I've never coached a down of football but it's pretty clear to me what the primary issues are.. why do the coaches, etc. just refuse to address them? It's infuriating. Sometimes it feels like they are just willfully ignoring the issues.

They are not ignoring the issue. The true issue with the O-line this year and the program for the past 8 years is underclassmen declaring early.

It's not The L.F. 7's, or guice, or Key's. It's the Chris faulk's, The toby weathersby's, the clapp's, the freak Johnson's, the tolliver's etc that are really making it hard for the coaches to correct the issue.

If you had Clapp, Weathersby, and Tolliver (two didn't get drafted, one got drafted in the last round) this year. We would contend for a s.e.c. and n.c. There would be no weakness on the team.

LSU's inability to keep players, who are very good college ball players, that are low draft picks at best is really hurting the program. These kind of players are continuing to spring holes in the team.

the coaches obviously know the holes. They brought in the #1 rated tackle out of juco to address it. however, he turned out not to be as good as everyone thought. They brought in an outstanding kicker, they brought in a good qb. if we can find a way to keep some draft eligible players that are very good college ball player, we will have more consistency and less holes to fill.
