re: Cole Tracy: Did he make Orgeron settle for 3 too often?

was such a bitch arse move for O to try that field goal against Bama just to try and save face by not getting shut out again. So pathetic

Not having a consistent run game along with Tracy being automatic inside 40 made Orgeron settle for a lot of field goals. You have to be able to run the ball consistently in order to be successful inside the 30. I believe that will change this year.

This was my biggest disappointment in coach o in his 3 seasons. Not trying to compete vs bama was more embarrassing than the Troy loss imo, even though it didn’t get the same publicity.

This was absolutely true. Cole Tracy was his crutch.

Even if this is true, I don't think Orgeron settled for 3 as much as Miles. Miles would run offense designed to kick fg's.

Oh come on

No. Our offense just wasn't efficient enough to be more productive. Part of the that was due to the O-line deficiencies and part was red zone play calling and execution.

No. Orgeron settled for 3 only on most 4th downs inside the 30 yard line.

It was more likely the OL play last season that may have led to more FG's than necessary. Had to have maximum protection, so couldn't utilize the TE's much in the redzone. That should change this season hopefully.

Not reading the other comments but I agree with OP.

Yeah that is how community forums work you moron.
I do not think O "settled" for field goals, but having a good kicker, and a mediocre offense, the decision to kick a FG was easier.

They didn’t have to, that was just the only strategy O and E knew how to employ.

So... I've been reading your drivel for awhile now and it seems you have a vast more knowledge of football than both Coach O and Coach E. My question is exactly where have you coached or played to achieve this great knowledge that you drop on this board incessantly? Surely you had a lifelong career in the NFL or College coaching amidst some of the greats so please do tell. Further more where does a coach or player with your experience find the time to post the amount you do? Aren't you really busy giving coaching seminars and such?
Here is what I believe, You are Cajunbama's alter.

you have a great point... having a guaranteed 3 points usually hurts football teams.

Thank you for the compliment, that was very unexpected

Since you gave me a nice compliment, I'll let you down as easily as I can: do not quit your current job and seek a new career in fortune telling.

O had a weakness for the FG even before Cole Tracy. Going for three against ND at the one foot line with three BAD kickers was just embarrassing. And it ended up costing the game.

You forgot the best part: Derrius Guice standing on the sidelines.

he was a second round pick but your point stands.
I think OP is getting unfairly treated. The facts speak for themselves. 33 attempted FGs was second in all of FBS.

I mean the coach said that he knew once we got past a certain point in the field he knew we were good for three. That doesn't exactly foster an aggressive red-zone mentality.
I remember Peyton Manning once said he'd rather be down by 4 than down by 3. Those two scenarios foster completely different ways of approaching a drive, because of how conservative coaches can be.
