It was only 2 years ago we were throwing the ball all over the yard. Same coaches.

Perhaps Harris, Dural and DuPre are not Mett, OBJ and Landry?

At least not yet.

Of course I am sure some of you have watched game film, so you can tell more than the rest of us who watched on tv.

So we need to get qbs that were developed by other coaching staffs to be able to open it up?

Mett, obj, JL, and JH are all in the nfl and we only truly opened it up with mett his last year. All the blowouts in 2011 we refused to try to get him meaningful reps knowing he would be the guy in 2012. In 2012 we didn't open it up until the Bama game.

I understand what you are saying, but Harris was 65% passing last night. Why did we completely abandon the passing game when we needed it the most?

Harris threw the ball fine. The defense is going to be gassed every game if Miles doesn't evolve.

Hitting lightning in a bottle like that again isn't likely. All those guys plus Turner played and started in the NFL their first year. That "great" offense wasn't even better than the offense Bama put on the field last year. And we had some of the best offensive players college football has ever seen. And a qb developed by Richt.

Yes it was. Check out advanced stats when evaluating an offense.

Didn't you know the Rant is filled with D1 offensive and defensive coordinators?

I don't think anyone on here is claiming we should be a pass-first team or try to rely on BH as a Brees, Manning or Brady. We just want to see our O gameplan not announced in air-writing, on billboards and loudspeakers. The "we won with LF7" argument is really bullshite. Do we really want to rely on the opponents' kickers to miss easy field goals and receivers to drop gimme passes each week?

We're all happy we won, but those of us without Les's head up our anuses see that it was in spite of some bad coaching decisions.

I don't see anyone saying we need to totally change our philosophy. Just tweak it to unstack the box and adjust to the flow of the game.

How stupid. Mett was in Georgia for 1 season, JC for 1 season and at LSU for 3 seasons.

This is what I hate most about Les's play not to lose style. We are too often faced with situations where we depend on the only team to mess up.

Forgive me for asking this but who the frick are you?

I know Les's winning percentage but not yours. Post a resume please so I can evaluate you qualifications to coach a top 10 college football program.

How many years in a row have we been saying this now? Don't get me wrong, I agree with that statement.

I use my real name on here so it's easy enough to figure out, unlike anonymous toughster. We come on a board like this to talk football and part of that is to question coaching. That's what this is here for. I don't remember having to submit a resume to voice an opinion. And anyone capable of abstract thought realizes this and lays off the "you are not a coach" meme. Fight on Les, if that's your real name.

Yet for some reason with Harris, Dupre and Dural we cant do this with Fournette taking all the pressure off them like Hill did for the formers?

We have an NFL caliber QB, and 2 WRs just like back then but the coaches somehow dont trust this QB. This is a major coaching issue. They need to get a balanced attack or the Alabama's of the world will just tee off on us once again.
