Dude, go away, you don’t know me. You’re some slapdick that just wants to annoy people.

ETA: you’re right I don’t go to games.

Shut up, dukeg, you slimy maggot. You've no clue what you're argument is even based on. Besides, there will be 12 to 13 more chances this season to see what your "homeboy" can do. Then we'll reconvene.

If you bring in top 3 recruiting classes regularly you win. How do you think Saban wins by coaching? Like Michigan State or NFL?

Yes Siree, great to see you too, I have been missing this place a bit. Didn't mean to "take off" so long, just kind of got out of habit. I know one thing: July is always hell - feels like forever before football finally arrives. And our baseball didn't make it any easier this year!

No doubt. Things are about to heat up around here soon. Can’t wait!

Good hearing from you, brother

Based on what? Do you eveb remember 2 years ago when O was the interim and he hired ensminger as oc and we immediately came to life on offense? We broke school records offensively you idiot. Lol, based on what? You have to be joking.

Big thumbs up. Very fair assessment and honest without being a total dick like most of the posters here. Support the Tiger players and the entire staff. Let the season play out and have fun with it. Things will happen as they should either way. These clowns on here with the constant bitching can and will frick up a wet dream. Kudos for not being one of them. The players who bleed purple and gold surely deserve wayyyyyy better than what these clowns give them.

his interim stint and 1st year as HC do not point to failure.


What do they point to? His interim wins consisted of 1 good team. ONE!

Last year, he has 1 win against a SEC coach that wasn't fired outside of BYU. The SEC was utter dogshit last year outside of 3 teams, maybe 4 if you want to count MSU.

If anything, on top of how recruiting panned out, Ed's history at LSU points to mediocrity or failure and not improvement over Les' last few years.

What has he done to point to success?

I don’t think under O LSU’s floor is 7-8 wins a year. The problem is I don’t know how much higher his ceiling is than that. They will never be horrible but they may never be good enough. I am willing to see how this season goes and then evaluate the future after.

Came to life on offense


The teams O played in 2016 with record and rush defense ranking:

W Missouri 4-8 (2-6) #118
W Southern Miss 7-6 (4-4) #53
W Ole Miss 5-7 (2-6) #117

L Alabama 14-1 (8-0) #1

W Arkansas 7-6 (3-5) #89
L Florida 9-4 (6-2) #34
W Texas A&M 8-5 (4-4)#84


O and E did NOTHING that Miles and Cam wouldn't have done against TERRIBLE run defenses and likely did worse.

He ran up stats against TERRIBLE run defenses to dazzle idiots like you and Alleva and couldn't get wins against the better teams that he played AT HOME even though that is exactly why Miles was fired in September, to get those wins.


He choked away a Sugar Bowl bid against a dumpster fire Florida team in Tiger Stadium in 2016 and blew a 10-2 season and likely another NY6 Bowl in the weakest year for the SEC in history by losing to a Sun Belt team for the first time in school history.


He is 0-2 on achieving that milestone and will be three years in a row if he doesn’t do it this year.

NYU!!!

At least you admit that it’s nit for his coach g abilities. That would be ludicrous.

Right. Those people are called O sycophants. Like you. Let’s face it, they couldn’t even get into LSU. They probably misspelled their names on the ACT.

I don't think he'll shite the bed for one reason, Joe Burrow. Without Burrow, minimum of 4 regular season losses.

People always want to yell defense this and defense that, but LSU had the #5 scoring defense in 2016 and still lost 4 games, only beating one opponent who had more than 8 wins (Louisville, who at 9-4, with 2 of their losses to Houston and Kentucky). Michigan had the #2 scoring defense in 2017 and lost 5 games, all to ranked opponents.

The year hinges on Ensminger and Burrow

Sooooo, those of us who prefer to watch the game on TV and do not donate to TAF are incapable of having an opinion about LSU football?

I'll take your lead and try to be positive in my reply. As such, though I do not agree with much of what you said, I can say this quote will be my approach going forward.

Not much of a bar to set for yourself, but I'd say you easily cleared it.

::waves::

yeah its a stupid thread.

youre basically predicting that O will exceed the very low expectations the media has put out for him.

so when LSU goes 8-4 this year, we should all be impressed because the talking heads picked him to go .500.

the last guy got fired for that, but frick it, lets give this guy a raise.
