Earlier in the thread you pointed to luck being the reason for 2019, specifically with Burrow. As great as Burrow was it required multiple variables for Burrow to be great. Who created the framework for his greatness? Brady? Munoz (who he brought to the Heisman ceremony)? Clyde who was the hero of the Bama game and was a big reason we don't falter vs Auburn? Moss who went the season without a drop? The Joe Moore top OL? Chase, Jefferson and Marshall?

One variable links all others together. Who could that be? Probably someone who won 3 different Top awards himself.

Oh, and the D did a nice job as well, especially in the final portion of the season.

Mike Greenberg sums it up well:

That's not luck. That is someone with the ability to take a lot of moving parts, get them working as a unit and achieving ultimate success.

Consider that LSU had 5 1st Rd draft picks. 4 were ranked .9003 (low 4 star - Burrow) and below.
Burrow - low 4 star
Jefferson - 2 star
Queen - low 4 star
Clyde - 3 star
That's maximizing your talent.

if you don't think having an already-developed QB who has #1 pick/Heisman potential fall into your lap is luck, then you are Oklahoma

and this is why i referenced it being sad that his 2018 was somewhat wasted by a bad offense and bad coaching

there were plenty of spread/RPO options for OC in 2017 and 2018. why did it take 2 years to get there? this isn't the "vision" argument this is a major criticism on O. what the frick was he doing dicking around for so long?

this isn't O-specific. i criticized the hell out of Miles for this for over a decade. i criticized Kirby Smart for being a big pussy in the same manner in this thread

you know who ain't a pussy about overhauling offense every couple of years and installing a new system in a single offseason? the short guy we play every year who wins a natty more often than not. we have to be better than that guy, and O knew that in 2016 when he was lobbying for the job.
