re: Coach O Is Crushing It

they don’t did it every fricking play like a Miles offense used to.... AND LSU hasn’t had to do it since Miles has been gone... geez. Do you even watch the games?

How many times is your stance gonna change on this subject?

You said no team does it.

"Im confused, we went 9-3".

You certainly are confused. We went 10-3. At least know a little something about what.you are talking about if you are going to post

And if we're being totally honest, should have lost if not for a functional retard trying to kick FGs for Bama.

Thats why you dont attempt 3 fgs that wouldve been a career long fg for your kicker in a tight game.

It always bothered me that people acted like missing 3 fgs that even nfl kickers have a problem making was chalked up to leaving points on the field.

You can line up 70 yard fgs and act like you beat yourself by leaving points on the field.


The most 50-50+ fgs made by an nfl kicker last year was 6 and saban expected his college kicker to make 2.

I must denigrate Miles. Even if it means trashy the 2011 win in Tuscaloosa.

Losing at least 3 games every year and having a shite offense is labeled crushing it under O while those same exact numbers were used to get miles fired.

Miles had run the program down to the point that winning 10 games was the highest possible achievement. Orgeron "appears" to have moved the team into a position that 10 wins is the norm.

Miles was recruiting the easy players - Louisiana talent and skill players who wanted to be at DBU - and letting our offensive and defensive line talent languish. Orgeron is killing himself trying to fill the gaps until he can get recruiting back to where it should be. His first real class was ranked about 15th, but it was well balanced. His second class was ranked 5th but he had a huge shortcoming at defensive back. His third class is currently ranked number one.

His season records have been 8-4, 9-4, 10-3. Both his recruiting and his actual records point to improvement. Miles' last years were 10-3, 8-4, 9-3 (three really bad embarrassing losses), and 2-2 when he was finally fired. And Miles' classes, while ranked fairly high, left whole position groups neglected.

Orgeron's first three years look a lot better than Miles' last three. I'm one of the few on here who remember that you were actually in favor of Miles being fired at the end. You often are unjustly accused of being a Miles defender when you are actually just stating your opinion that Ed Orgeron gets credited for doing what got Miles fired. I just don't agree that the positive trajectory under Orgeron is the same as the slightly negative trajectory under Miles. And it's my opinion that Miles' trajectory was about to get a lot worse. That 2-2 was ugly, and the negativism around the program was going to be hard to overcome.

I don't think Orgeron is a better coach than Miles. I don't think he's even as good as far as ability goes. But Orgeron is working hard. Miles was on cruise control. Big time SEC football is no place for a coach who is complacent. Orgeron hasn't proven himself yet, but he's proven a lot of us wrong. I thought he would be a disastrous coach. He's turned out at least OK. Let's see where he goes from here. I sure am excited about the 2019 recruiting class, and I think he might dethrone Alabama with his 2020 class. Can he do it on the field?

Orgeron has won 10 games exactly once as a head coach and has only done it half the time he’s been LSU’s coach, but it’s now “the norm”.

This is exactly the kind of utterly fabricated bullshite that causes 90+ page threads.

Here’s more of that utterly fabricated bullshite I was just talking about.

The posters here can’t see the forest for the trees. The overarching problem in the latter part of Miles’ tenure was his offense. Everyone knew what, when, where, and how Miles was going with his offense. He believed his Tigers were so stout he could still succeed even though everyone knew what he would do. He was right for 9-10 games each season. He could run right at teams and they couldn’t stop it. His problem was the other teams on the schedule. Compounding that problem was the fact that few QBs wanted to come to LSU because they’d just hand the ball off in the eye formation a large percentage of the time.

Miles refused to change which perpetuated the problems of being unable to recruit a QB and not being able to force his will on 2-3 teams per year. LSU was stuck in neutral. Now you have an OC that’s opening up the offense just a little and four 4* QBs have committed or signed just since last summer.

Yeah, and four months ago LSU was "guaranteed" to have a top three class by some of you clowns. It's February 2019 and you're bragging about the 2020 recruiting class ranking

---

You can't be this fricking stupid. Yes you can obviously.

Dumb frick.

2013-2016:

LSU signed three 4* QBs and one 3*. They also brought in a former 4* transfer who started for nearly two full seasons.

2017-2019:

LSU has signed three 4* QBs. They also brought in a former 4* transfer who will start for two full seasons.
