re: Posted on SEC rant, how can LSU def efficiency be so bad? Above 100 would be worth at

Sometimes it can be the players.

No question. Some guys/teams are better defenders than others. But it's hard to keep blaming the players when you have data over the course of 4 years of below average to downright bad defense despite MANY different players during that time period. I like Wade. But at some point you have to look at the constants during that time period. The biggest constant is Wade.

We can rack our brains up and down to figure out what is the problem but the simple answer is this is akin to a Les Miles situation. It wasn't that Les couldn't coach. It's that he refused to acknowledge his APPROACH/PHILOSOPHY regarding the offensive side of the ball was not working despite all statistical evidence and the outside world being able to see that was the case. It's the same with Wade. He fully believes his approach/philosophy works...or eventually will work, despite EVERYONE being able to see it isn't.
