So far, he hasn’t shown much in either area. Please prove me wrong. I want to be proven wrong.

Hard to give him a complete grade as a coach considering the injuries he had to deal with last season.

Come down the street and let me bust my knuckles across your face for this stupid arse statement. He’s been here for 1 season and had a mediocre front line to work with.

He’s a guy and he is on LSU’s coaching staff. That is the only thing I know for sure. Hasn’t shown me anything else.

He is trying to teach zone blocking to a weak group..at least last year.. with lots of injuries and lineup changes. Anyway they will improve with just experience and continuity.

OL is certainly one of the 2 areas of concern and imo probably the group that needs the most improvement. Its this year or never--no excuses. Hopefully, we coach em up recruit em and show significant improvement.

Too early to ask that question. Don’t you think?

the question is: would you rather a good coach that is a shitty recruiter or a great recruiter and a shitty coach? i'll take a great recruiter who lets his coaches coach all day. that's what O is doing. he's always been a great recruiter.

So far you havent been proven wrong. LSU has not had a good OLine coach in quite some time. This year Cregg will either sink or swim with the way the Line plays.

Hester has said several times that when LSU hires him, Philip Rivers texted him and said “you’re getting the best in the business.” Go look at his resume and background... dude is impeccable.

He’s probably a good coach. The problem is a zone blocking scheme is a lot for college linemen to handle. So far it’s not working out for LSU.

I totally agree we should judge all coaches just like we judge recruits after one season. If you aren’t getting it done it’s time to move one. No way they can improve.

I have assumed the guy can coach. The 2018 OL was a huge disappointment no matter how you slice it.
As for recruiting, we are certainly not setting the world on fire with elite line prospects. Is that because of Cregg; because Louisiana doesn't produce enough O-line talent, or; our OL recruiting strategy is not working?

Orgeron has addressed each of the issues he was faced with when he took over the program slowly but surely. THere's work to be done with the big uglies.
