Future still looks promising if and only if

While I agree with everyone here that this season has been a huge disappointment and shall never be acceptable at a program like LSU. Everything from coaching, opt outs, transfers, Sexual assault allegations, it has just been a disaster. However Saturday really showed the potential of this past recruiting class and it looks like it may have the potential to be one of Orgerons best. For a bunch of young 18-19 year olds to fight the way they did and never give up on this season shows me that they want to be at LSU and win championships. Not to mention if O can close out this recruiting class this year I can definitely see potential for another championship run. There are certain things that I believe need to change in order for this to happen.

1. Pelini needs to go/ improve hiring of assistants

Defense is still historically awful and giving up 600 yards a game. Players from last year have regressed. We need to find a young coordinator that knows more about defending the modernized spread. Also it’s going to take O not hiring a friend!

2. Culture change

This year has drastically showed the problems that LSU has been facing for years with opt outs, and people leaving early for the draft. I don’t know if there’s a certain way to change this completely but the results on the field this year and everything that has happen can be a culture change for these young freshman and sophomore. Having upperclassman quit on you and basically not caring about the team I believe can have an affect on our young players in a good way. They haven’t had that success and you can just tell with the effort on the field that they really want it. Not saying that’s a 100% a fix but I believe it will help.

3. Recruiting better offensive lineman

While they had there best game of the year this past Saturday, there is still tons of room for improvement to be championship caliber. Need to recruit elite oline man and sign them. Immediate impact guys that aren’t 2-3 year projects until they see the field. Next thing is our best players need to see the field and tommy moffit needs to get kardell Thomas and Bradford to lose weight. Unacceptable for our coaches to allow players to just be lazy and prevent improvement. When Bradford has played you can just see the guy is a mauler with massive potential.Just those two can improve the interior. While Shanahan has struggled this year, I have seen improvement from him as each game goes by. We need to improve at tackle, while rosenthal looks physically like he can be an all sec tackle, sometimes it looks like he lacks effort. Hopefully another year can improve that. If we don’t hit on leigh, we need to sign some immediate impact guys to give help now!! Whether it’s from juco or the
portal, it needs to happen.

With everything being said and everything that has gone on this year I believe there’s still hope in the future if we can fix a few things!
