Anyone else get the feeling we’ll be really good next year?

I can honestly see us winning the SEC next year and at the very least making the playoffs. The players we have returning, the true freshmen that balled out getting another offseason and training camps under their belt, Myles coming back and the emergence of Max, I don’t know man. Iron sharpens iron, and we’ve got plenty of iron. I just think we’re gonna be pretty damn good. The o-line really gelled the last two games and if I’m not mistaken everybody’s coming back, right? Talented wide receiving corps that will hopefully get a coach that’ll take a page out of Brady’s playbook and do another summer of 10,000 catches from the juggs machine. TDP and Emery both getting another year of training, along with Williams and Corey Kiner coming in, who looks ridiculous on his highlight tape.
We have the best kicker in the country and an absolute stud punter coming in from West Monroe if ZVR finally decides at 65 that he’s done being a college athlete. Stingley, should he play next year and not opt out as feared (dear 8 lbs 6 oz Lord baby Jesus let him stay) was always promised he’d get to play offense and defense his junior year, and we have three EXTREMELY gifted DB’s in McGlothern, Ward and Ricks, along with Flott growing into the position during the off-season going up against Boutte, Jenkins, Moore and Hilton. Todd Harris and Mo will both benefit greatly from the same. Linebackers have some work to do, but if we nab Freeman from Cincy I think he’ll coach them up. D-line should be absolutely filthy next year, especially if we do get Brooks back.
All the pieces are there. I think O knows it’s time to shite or get off the pot and will make really good OC and DC hires. I think we’ll play with a chip on our shoulder and play better as a unit because of this season. And, as disappointing as this season was, people need to keep in mind this team would been 8-5, possibly 9-5 with a bowl game in a normal year with OOC games and us being able to play in a bowl game. A down year, but nothing to throw a shoe over.
Excited for Saturdays.
TL;DR: We STACKEDDD, They FUUUUUCKEDDDD

We need better play from the linebackers, safeties, and the Oline if we are going to compete for an SEC championship next season. We also need some Tight ends and ones that want to block also.

Need better coaching. Talent is there.

I'm just so excited about the o line fully returning, another year with those guys all back will be awesome
Also, Shanahan I believe will be better after an SEC off season, can't believe we are returnie on the O line and D line, full QB(best lsu qb room of my life)and RB rooms, WRs should be fine, CBs all back, lots of young talent at Safety. Maybe best kicker in the country and #1 punter, we better make a run this year cause if it doesn't happen this year it'll be a while

I’ll reserve my judgment until I see who the OC and DC are going to be.

Like CFP really good...

Can you get your lips off Brady’s wang? Brady didn’t write that playbook; he aped what Payton’s staff taught him, and they didn’t invent that either. Coaches have been drilling WRs like that for decades.
If you want Brady’s success give LSU a HOF QB and seven other dominant NFL starter caliber players on offense (like Brady had). Notice Brady’s innovative methods aren’t working too well this year.

Simply put, no. We’re only going to have around 70 scholarship players next fall and won’t have near enough depth to make a run.
To call for playoffs when we have both coordinator positions open indicates you have a misguided faith in Os ability to both game plan and hire assistants.

We're a shoe throw away from being 4-6 and one of ooc games was supposed to be Texas. We would have gone 5-7 with that defense. I am optimistic about next year but I'm realistic about this past season. We were NOT a 9 win team

I think the talent is there to make a run.
Need to see who Ed hires to coach them up though.

How is that even possible? We don't even have an OC/DC right now.

Depends who are OC & DC are

I think we can be like our 2018 Fiesta Bowl team
Posted on 1/3/21 at 9:42 am to ColdTurkey
depends a lot on Rosenthal and Deculus returning. Offense will be solid with those guys returning., but the defense will still have holes at all three levels. We'll be good, one of the top teams in the SEC, but no where near the talent level we had in 2019 and far short of the talent of teams like Bama, clemson, and Ohio State.

This is way too optimistic for me lol.
Posted on 1/3/21 at 10:17 am to ColdTurkey
We need Trey Palmer to take the next step and some immediate help at LBer
Also I fear we’ll be starting 2 true freshman safeties
I think we’re a NY6 team but 2022 looks like the year we should make a run

I like the confidence, but I think statements like...
...are a little premature.
On the plus side:
- Returning QB (one way or another) and QB play should be a strong point next year.
- Returning at least 3 starting OL, possibly 4 or 5.
- Returning 85+% of RB production and Emery, TDP, and Bradford have all shown flashes this year.
- Getting a stud receiver back in Boutte who should improve after an offseason, along with several other experienced WRs and a stellar freshman receiving class coming in.
- Almost the entire defensive backfield is returning, with Stevens being the only loss so far. Ricks/Stingley will be an elite combo on the outside if both stay healthy, and Flott/Ward/McGlothern will battle for the nickel/backup roles. #2 safety in the country coming in as a freshman, and Jordan Toles may challenge for a starting spot as well. DB should be a legit strength next year, which feels crazy to say after the way this year has gone.
- Returning everyone on the DL, pending Logan’s decision. Gaye and Ojulari will be a force, and our DTs should be a VERY strong group.
On the negative side:
- Losing a fair amount of receiving production. Losing 41% of receiving yards, 39% of receptions, and 54% of receiving TDs. This won’t be like the 2019 receiving corps where you have 3 first-second round NFL guys coming back. If anything it’ll be more like the 2018 receiving corps where those guys are still growing into their game.
- Will be VERY thin at TE next year.
- If Dare and Deculus declare, we will be VERY thin and inexperienced at OT.
- Unclear what the LB corps will look like. Still waiting on announcements from Cox, Baskerville, Clark, and Anthony. LB play was not very good this year either.
- Unclear what the offensive and defensive schemes will look like, pending coaching hires.
After the season Stingley had this year, I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t even return punts next year. His dad never sounded like he was totally onboard with the idea of Stingley playing both ways, and I have to think his injuries this year have driven that point home.
I think you mean 7-5, possibly 8-5 with a bowl game. 9-5 is 14 games. Regardless, we went 4-4 vs. the SEC teams on our original schedule. So depending on what happens in the Texas game, you’re talking about a 7-5 or 8-4 regular season. Personally, I don’t think we lose to Mississippi State if we had tuneup games (or Stingley for that matter) so I’ll say this would have probably been an 8-4 team with a normal schedule. Not that it really matters though.
