You can sense it... From the very start of him taking over it was like an unveiling of the dark cloud literally. It's wide open now taking all comers that want positive change for LSU football. It's a huge change and will make even more difference in years to come IMO. This has just begun wait until results come with it and they will. GT hold that damn tiger boys!!!

You are correct and that is an apt description of what was happening.
You're going to anger the "Miles was a great coach" crowd who were incredibly blind to the descent of the program under Miles' in recent years.

We don't know how good O is going to be but at least there is some optimism, momentum and excitement about the direction.

Bring your effing lunch when going up against that young man oh and he's still in HS wait until LSU SC coach gets a hold of him. Freakn men we getting freakn men!!! I'm positive Tommy is appreciative of the talent difference coach O and staff are now bringing him to transform, makes his job better with more results which will make him look even better than he does already, kinda hard to do but I remember rumblings of our SC program not long ago. Maybe it was more of the quality of young men in that program and not the program itself. Now here we go SOB's

Makes you wonder how in the hell Miles was pulling in the recruiting classes that he did?

For wide receivers, I can't argue with that... though it's amazing most of them could see they wouldn't put up numbers in college, with a few exceptions, but still signed up.

For QBS and oline, I doubt that pitch would work.

TRUTH. Exactly how I feel also.

To which is why we couldn't get the best QBs and OL, we went with what the numbers gave us which was the best OGs we could get then turn them into tackles. I guess Les said to himself better to get the number 3 or 10 guard and switch him then to get the 30th best tackle. Basically what we did but IMO it's best to go get the best you can at that position and in numbers if need be to start a line of OTs then build from there. This has to change and I'm sure it will with the comments I've heard from coach O which is LSU must get the number 1 draft picks on the OL if we want to stop the best DLs. Time for change

Multiple upvotes if I could. Loved Miles the man and humanitarian. But the change in climate and culture will produce long term results. Wishing O the success he deserves and craves.

you are right, I'm not an O 'guy,' but the optimism is rather refreshing and there's a sense of wonder of how good this program can be if it weren't being held down at the top.

Most of those rumblings came from our opinions of how the players weren't nearly as dominant late in games as they used to be. That seemed to change for the better after CEO started changing the practices midseason.

So maybe Tommy wasn't really losing his edge. It's a nice thought going forward because I have always thought of him as a huge asset.
