re: "this LSU squad might be the most talented team in the nation"

Listen, LSU is always loaded, they're the only team I say that can compete with Alabama every year talent-wise. The talent has always been there, but the difference as usual has been in the "coaching" area. Last season was a disaster especially on defense, the coaching was horrible and now hopefully that's been fixed. But even when Miles was HC, the talent has always been there to compete against Alabama, and Saban knows that, but his smug arse knows LSU's coaching has always held them down.

Talent was similar except at QB. QB play was Miles' downfall. Sticking with Cameron who didnt upgrade this was the end of the line.
The team with the best QB play during Miles' tenure won those games every year except 2012. What a terrible loss, still not over that one.

Nope... rarely have we had a QB that could challenge Bama.. After 2012 we did not have an offensive or defensive line at Bama level.. even 2019 our line of scrimmage talent was close but still below Bama.. 2021 defensive line equal or better than Bama. Offensive line still a knotch below.
Only Boutte could get separation in the spring game. Against #1 defense.
We are close. Tough schedule as usual. Mostly at home.
We will give Bama a solid run for the West.

High level talent NFL caliber yes we have but overall top to bottom depth BAMA has better players in the middle and end of their squad, many of their players on the bench could start at LSU.
BAMA always wins in the trenches except 2019 and recruits better at those positions and the reason we lose to bama is they typically dominate the line of scrimmage. Not totally on coaching unless you blame inferior linemen on the recruiting of players which falls under coaching.
You coach Kentucky in a game against me coaching Alabama and see who wins the game, heck I may even give you Nick as you defensive coordinator.
Let's not forget injuries, 2019 was brutal on Alabama losing two starting linebackers and a star defensive lineman, also a QB that was hobbled for most of the season.
Coaches are important but high level college teams recruit better and have better players.

Coaching and depth has been the problem.

Miles let LSU talent slide. So no. On the line of scrimmage and QB LSU was pretty far below Bama after 2012. No one would claim..Jenkins, Harris and Etling as remotely comparable to Bama QBs. Even Jefferson and Lee were far below Bama QBs. Even in 2019 Bama was better than LSU on the line of scrimmage. LSU was much closer... in the second half of our win...Bama blew LSU off the line of scrimmage.
2021 does shape up to be very good. Great opportunity

Not even close.
Year in and year out, Bama's DL makes quick work out of the LSU. (And and vice versa)
2019 was an exception due to Thunder Brady and Lightning Burrow! The OL wasn't that great, but Thunder had Lightning getting the football out of his hand and matriculating it downfield so quickly, that the OL didn't have to hold their blocks so long......
