2019 Outlook Discussion

so there are basically a few different branches where 2019 will lead
Offensive Coordinator/Coaches
this is the crucial issue. do we keep E? if we don't, what kind of guy do we replace him with? will it be a simple offense (like an air raid system) or a complicated one?
if we do keep E, what are realistic expectations for the offense in 2019? We return basically everyone of note and our entire OL (plus some likely extreme talent injections in Rosenthal and Kardell)
will we hire an upgrade at OL/WR coach positions?
Players Leaving
White and Greedy look gone
Fehko and Lawrence are question marks
Fulton is a longshot
offensively, I don't know if we have any real guys looking to leave early
Incoming Recruits
Emerey should be a jolt (assuming we get an OC who can use him). Thomas should get PT a few games in. our DL talent isn't going to be great but a bunch of the other defensive guys should get PT, esp Stigley. other tan Emery and Thomas, i'm not sure if we get any major offensive contributions next year
Wildcard Issues
this is just uncertainty as to what may happen, like guys who shouldn't leave early, leaving or transfers or suspensions
like if Burrow leaves (or is severely injured), we're proper fricked
replacing Tracy is a major wildcard
what wildcard issues are the biggest concerns?

We MUST upgrade our OL. Coaching, players, everything. Burrow is pretty damn great when we keep the pocket clean.

Unless O has a change of heart philosophically none of the above matters.
Posted on 11/25/18 at 11:52 am to SlowFlowPro
10-2 is the ceiling. I think it’ll be a 9-3 season
Posted on 11/25/18 at 11:52 am to SlowFlowPro
Here’s my outlook:$$$$ spent on LSU football = 0. frick Alleva, Alexander and Orgeron.

QB issues, DL issues, losing Chaisson, etc
Posted on 11/25/18 at 11:52 am to SlowFlowPro
Ensminger, Sullivan, Busch, and Joseph need to be gone.
Aranda's defense was fine without a dedicated safeties coach. After last night, I don't know what he brings to the table. Seems like we have too many cooks in the kitchen.
Bring in a real OC, work with him to bring in his own WR coach, and then discuss replacing Bush's spot with a real QB coach.

O is what he is.
As long as Aranda is here we probably won’t lose more than 4 games.
If Aranda leaves (as I expect him to and as the O apologists want) we are a 5-7 loss team.
This year is as good as it gets under Ed

9-3

All of our games are at home except Bama and Texas. Probably not beating Bama regardless so beating Texas is key and 11-1 is achievable.

, sure. We need to improve the OL, but Burrow isn't great at anything.
Posted on 11/25/18 at 11:55 am to SlowFlowPro
OL.
Outside of White and Greedy, no Jr will be leaving early.

The defensive and offensive lines require 1-2 blue chip guys each.

Maybe but he’s still the only coach in the staff worth a shite.

The "analysts".
There has not been one iota of proof that these people do ANYTHING to make the team better.
If they have actually "helped" Steve Ensminger game plan, then that is just more, overwhelming proof that he needs to go.

do we keep E?
Administration won’t sign off on 3 OCs in 3 years. Unless Steve steps down, which I’d say is possible, he’ll be back.

Will the passing game improve? I mean the whole passing game, at every position. quote:

Mickey Joseph and Jerry Sullivan need to be let go immediately. I’ll give Cregg a pass this year due to the Ingram deal and injuries.

Have a feeling both leave.

I see a lot of serviceable guys in Shelvin, Farrell, Logan, etc. I don’t see any difference makers. Chaisson obviously is a giant boost, but I mean strictly DL. We desperately need to get a splash DL recruit somehow this cycle. We currently have 1 DL commit, that’s scary af.

Les left the lines in a mess (please ignore that O was the D line coach and also ran off multiple OLineman)
