re: How did underwood and Stewart’s visits go ?

Yes, let’s get fatter olineman because nothing says 2024 football like big ole fat guys with no endurance and can’t move.

I struggle to comprehend the logic behind certain justifications made by supporters of the current coaching staff, particularly when it comes to the program's recent struggles. If I were a recruit, these are the critical questions I would have, and it's difficult to understand how one could justify choosing LSU under the current circumstances.

It's now year three of the coaching tenure, and the team has already suffered three losses. In the broader context, where are the failures, and why has there been no significant improvement? The same mistakes seem to be repeated, leading to consistent losses. As a coach, you asked to be judged by year three, yet it appears you are underperforming compared to your predecessor, even when working with players who have had three years to develop in your system.

The coaching staff frequently touts having the best offensive unit in the country. However, if that were true, how do we explain Vanderbilt’s 40-point performance against Alabama? Why do we struggle so much against inferior defenses, particularly when we supposedly have the best offensive staff in college football? What alternatives are being considered, instead of merely repeating the same approach? Why weren’t there any significant adjustments to the offensive game plan, or attempts to change personnel—such as giving a new quarterback a chance mid-game—especially when it was clear that Garrett Nussmeier was not able to execute? If all possible measures were taken and the team still failed to execute, what does that reveal about the coaching staff’s mindset and adaptability?

It appears that the development of many players has plateaued, with several reaching their peak potential under the current staff. Given LSU's historical advantage in terms of local talent, how can the coaching staff justify their position when they are unable to elevate the talent at their disposal to a level capable of competing for a spot in a 12-team playoff?

While we had JD and JB, the current team's performance and turnover issues highlight a clear talent disparity. How can the coaching staff guarantee me playing time if they are unwilling to adjust their offensive philosophy during games? Why aren’t alternative options being explored, such as giving other players a shot, when the current strategy is clearly not yielding the desired results?

There seems to be a troubling pattern in the team’s readiness at the start of the season. Despite having more time to prepare for games, the team consistently underperforms. Why does it seem like the more time the coaching staff has to prepare, the worse the team plays? For instance, after three consecutive losses to start the season, the team had two weeks to prepare during a bye week, yet they still suffered a humiliating defeat at home. What does this say about the team’s preparation and the coaching staff’s ability to get players ready for crucial games, especially when the coach talks nothing but team preparation?

If it were me after seeing that performance, I would definitely be considering more options.

I get the anger from fans. But as someone who has coached for many years, there are certain things that take time to establish. At the end of the day, we have a first year starting QB and our best RB is a freshman. A lot of our defense is young as well, with a new DC and staff teaching them. Plus they are out there and see these guys every single day in practice when we see them once a week for 60 minutes. If other players were truly outperforming these guys weekly, they’d probably be getting more looks.

I’m not excusing the poor play, just saying try not approaching it from the pov of a fan for a minute. Ultimately, we may just not be a very talented team. We lost to a bad USC team, struggled against UCLA most of the game, honestly should have lost to South Carolina and Ole Miss, then got exposed by A&M and Bama. The one game we looked good in was Arkansas, but they are a mediocre team who lost to OK St, and struggled against UAB and Auburn. They pulled out a big win against UT but that was it.

To me Nuss is the reincarnation of Etling.

Not sure why people keep spouting this … Etling was fearless and never shied from running when the opportunity was there. He was limited in arm talent, but I respect what he did while at LSU.

Bama's fat guys mauled the LSU d line. Then again, Bama is better at recruiting and developing than LSU.

Tigerdroppings is a net negative for lsu sports

Agree. Lack of moderators and a ‘say anything you want attitude’ ruins the vibe around the program and reveals all the warts the fan base has. It’s like a toxic stew of negativity anytime we lose a game around here.

TD’s reminds me of Twitter, lots of misinformation, speculation, bullying and bullshite artists who are allowed to say and post anything they want, with no consequences, no proof, and no truth.

What a difference it is having a statue at QB . JD would he having Heisman year . So many running lanes. JD hid alot of our weaknesses in DL.

---

Thing is, he's not a statue. He just chooses not to run and take 5 yard clips that would demoralize defenses. He's a bad quarterback at this point.

Those recruits walk through the state of the art facilities, see the championship trophies, the Heismans, the wall of former Tigers tearing up the NFL and see the NIL potential, they aren't going to be disuaded by one bad loss.
