Please sweet baby Jesus let this be true. If so... Coach O



Christ y'all are easily impressed. Coach O is a damn genius for moving around the OL due to multiple injuries. What a savant.

I love the enthusiasm though. Exciting time to be an LSU fan.

For the record, I wished for Pocic to start the season at tackle right here on this site before one snap was taken...and he did win SEC lineman of the week recently...I don't get paid enough to argue about it...lol


He might have if he didn't miss all of spring practice with an injury.

A Dline coach? My point being, Dick, that this change has come from incumbent staff. Further illustrating the idiot that is Miles.

With Andy Dodd subbing at center all spring and Pocic knows the entire OL's responsibilities and makes all the calls...no problem if Pocic is truly suited for tackle...I hope to see it on Saturday and see how it goes...

In Miles defense [sorry this hurts me more than it hurts you] Pocic was at center not because they thought it was where he was best but because even though he is better at Tackle the team needed him at Center.

Maybe he graded well, but he doesn't look right this season and got pushed around more than a few times last Saturday. I was a little shocked he got the award

Not saying I disagree, but he's rated a top C in next year's draft. Although, I guess he could be moved but he's still projected as a top C.

So you must be saying that neither Clapp or Dodd or anyone else could perform at center...if you say so...I can't verify that, but maybe you can...

Pocic at center has single-handedly killed at least 5 drives.

Too. fricking. Tall. For. Center.
---------------------------------------------------------

Have you met Ethan Pocic's older brother, Graham? After starting at C for Illinois, he's now on the roster of a football team called the Pittsburg Steelers. At 6'-7" and 310 lbs, he's probably also too fricking tall for center.

It's insanity he was at center when we have capable ones.

Pocic at center is one of the biggest head scratchers in recent memory for me. The guy will absolutely be an NFL tackle.

It's like everything that most of us that actually know the game is being implemented now. Not saying Miles didn't know the game but he was just too stubborn and oblivious to glaring issues.

Hopefully ESPN does a 30 for 30 on Les Miles' coaching career, brings along an interpreter and psychiatrist to explain everything.

I love the downvotes that you got on that. As if you don't know anything or are not capable of speaking on college or NFL talent.

A screen shot of practice was posted on Twitter by the media showing one of the alignments being....

Pocic RT
Boutte RG
Dodd C
Teuhuma LG
Okeke LT

They did say that Brumfeld was expected to replace Clapp at LG. Take all that for what it's worth. At least O is letting his position coaches do what they think needs to be done.

I rewatches some of the game, and Brumfield looked great when he came in at guard. Especially when he was pulling
