re: Ok can we fire Cregg now?

LSU seems to always lose out when it comes to elite OL. Is it bad recruiting? I can understand elite OTs not committing back in the Miles era but with the type offense LSU has now, it seems they should be able to land at least 1 of the very elite guys.

Dude sucks at getting elite Oline men we habe a 3* and. 4* that's it. PITIFUL!!

Fianlly someone that understands what is important to a HS OL recruit and his father.
NFL HOF promising to teach his son how to make it to and in the NFL.
Cregg offers nothing...and that is basically what we get in recruiting compared to the top programs. Fix it or else.

Yep

Bama kicks our arse in recruiting, they are able to compete really well in Louisiana for top recruits! And that can’t be denied and shouldn’t happen!

You are a fricking clown. Saban is on his way to his SEVENTH national championship. He can get recruit from where ever the frick he wants. Until you realize that you will continue to sound idiotic

I got destroyed on here for saying he might end up on the hot seat if he didn’t land a few of the recruits we were supposedly leading on. After losing 3-4 of those guys this year, it seems like his seat might be getting a little warm.

Exactly, I’d love Kevin Mawae coaching at LSU. He’s a great dude first of all, has the pedigree, has the skills, the connections, the name and the history with LSU. None of that means he will be a success story at LSU in terms of recruiting though. You would think with his stature that OL recruits would come pouring in but that just isn’t how it works for whatever reason.

You would also think that with Cregg’s history in the NFL, the successes he’s had as a coach of the OL and with his ability that we’d be landing those guys now, especially after last seasons results. He took a decent OL in 2018 and turned that into one of the best in 2019. The ones saying it was thanks to Burrow and Clyde weren’t paying attention. Those guys dominated 90% of their competition last year. Burrow had loads of time on many many occasions. Yes Burrow helped keep sack numbers down with his skill but they pushed people around last year and that was because of the hard work they put in and the confidence that they all played with.

Cregg deserves the credit for that job he did last year. The OL was 2 deep with average to above average players across the line. We had plenty of guys go down and we never missed a beat. Much of that was because we had a veteran center and Burrow but our OL was in the best shape that I’d ever seen our OL in. They could play forever it seemed. If that doesn’t land you at least 2-3 top 15 tackles then something is wrong and I can’t say it’s all on Cregg because I don’t know.

Cregg also deserves what’s coming at him right now because he should have been out there straight after the game showing up all over the country at the best OLman’s houses or picnics, BBQ’s, Aunties house, grandma’s house, showing up in a nice sports car with LSU memorabilia, spreading the love. Creating all types of hype/hope for LSU and his future OL. I’m sure he was out there recruiting but obviously not hard and not doing enough. That’s on him!!

So where do we go now? I think I may have to agree with everyone here. He made his bed and now it’s time to lay in it. If we do go another direction though, it needs to be a home run. I don’t think you’d have to throw out all kinds of crazy money to Kevin to come represent his alma mater. I think he’d love to if that was his choice and direction he wanted to go in. I doubt he’d go anywhere anytime soon either. He’s got connections all over media, TV, west coast, east coast, down south, the northern and the Midwest. Use those connections to get the best of the best to play at LSU. Let him put on some old tape of his OL experiences at LSU. Those lines were beastly! Let’s go for it!

You really want to go there AT7???

We aren’t supposed to lose any instate recruits that WE want to Bama and yes we did beat them for Smith and Ryan “who is a freaking legacy with his Uncle on staff” but did we beat Bama for Moses, Harris, D Smith and Bolden??? All major contributors to Bama’s success on the field this year and one of them is winning the Heisman this year also duhhhhhhh

Since 2018 (4 recruiting cycles), LSU has signed 21 top-10 Louisiana recruits and could get another in BTJ. Bama has signed 3. Of those 3, one has already transferred and another would be the #3 safety in our recruiting class if he came to LSU this year.

The reality is that two of the four guys you listed were recruited during the interim year and another was the #495 player in the country. Losing Christian Harris sucks, sure. On the other hand, LSU just signed the #4 RB in the country out of Alabama.

You win some, you lose some. Sure, Saban doesn’t lose as much as other coaches.. but he’s not invincible. This whole “Saban takes who he wants out of Louisiana!!” thing is 99% because of Dylan Moses and DeVonta Smith, which is silly considering that we fired our head coach in the middle of that recruiting cycle.

You can't do much worse then Cregg.
