re: Some non-Anti-O-Nega from a guy everyone knows is Nega when it comes to O

So was sacrificing "talent" in last year's class and the whole Line shakesups that occurred a good thing or bad thing? Your argument is talent, but we've recruited significantly worse since O was hired.
On the offensive side of the ball, the bottom line reality is that LSU has a fricking godawful reputation among 18 year old kids. If you are an 18 year old kid, you flat out can't remember LSU having a decent offense. That's a drag on recruiting. On that I hope we can incrementally overcome. One that I'm not sure O can overcome but, if he can't, it will be his undoing.
quote:Honestly, I disagree. We can't even field a fricking two deep OL! We've got to reach a point where that's not the case.
That getting a 3-star OLine to add depth over a 4-5 star skill position was probably a bad move.
quote:I'm not SOLD on Coach O. I'm simply acknowledging that this season has gone better than I would have expected and I'm not letting the fact that a team that is beating the frick out of everybody beat us Saturday change that.
(And I'm just trying to find the consistency, I like the rational approach, but maybe the answer still is "O doesn't know how to run a program," as he took incorrect risks if we were to assume the talent is the big problem.)
quote:Truth. But, whether we like to admit it not. Even with a great OC........our offense would be better..........but still HIGHLY suspect.
And I'll say here, I actually agree, but that's because the expectations were extremely low
Being 7-2 at this point with the train wreck we're fielding on the offensive side of the ball in terms of talent is a goddamned miracle.

Last year was not year 1 for O recruiting at LSU.
