Good Comparison Of Success of the Coaching Hires
Posted on 4/25/18 at 9:21 am
Posted on 4/25/18 at 9:21 am
After watching the spring game, not one QB looked good (ready). It’s very obvious Myles Brennan is not ready to take over the starting job but may be thrust into the position out of necessity. Not that I thought anyone else did better but JM MAY be the starter due to his scrambling ability. I am not endorsing this move, but I can understand if the coaching staff starts JM over MB because of his scrambling ability.
Our defense looks as though it will be a great group. We have seen in the past what really good defenses has done for our win total even with putrid QB play. Ten wins has been a staple in the win column due to really good defensive play. Although due to poor QB play, I believe it will take good coaching to win 10 games as we have done with the previous coaching staff. As we all know, The QB play has been a thorn in our side, but coaching was the difference in 8 wins and 10 wins.
It will be interesting to see if the current coaches can match what has been done in the past. My fear is that the current coaching staff doesn’t have what it takes to even meet the success of our past coaching staff. If true, then we are looking at an 8-9 win season (counting bowl game) at best and a 7-8 win season at worst. IMHO, I was hoping for more from the current staff.
I believe this team is very similar to teams in the past. Very similar talent levels across the board with a hole at QB (with the exception at RB). So, I think this season will be a very good comparison of past and present coaching staffs. Based off the results of this upcoming season, I believe anything less than ten wins will show the administration was wrong in their assessment of the current coaching staff. 1) That anyone can win tens games at LSU or 2) The current head coach could actually win titles with the talent LSU has within the program.

If they start anyone because of their ability to scramble it better be Lowell.
The team will be decent if the offense can manage to stay on the field. A stout defense does no good of they're on the field 40 minutes a game. Was reading that Aranda will be forced to play a lot of zone because we're thin in the secondary.. but I trust his gameplanning. Not so much with the offensive coaching.....

It may be LN. I’m just saying that all of them have legitimate claims to be the starter due to no one taking it. What do you believe about the comparison of the upcoming season?

This is fricking hilarious. We got rid of a coaching staff for winning 10 games but not competing for championships, and now we are trying to determine if our current coaching staff can even meet the lowest standards of the guy that got fired.
If that doesn't scream administrative ineptitude, I don't know what does. Open your eyes people, we are not trending up right now.
PS: Im on record a million times saying it was time to move on from Les Miles, so in no way am I alluding to the fact that I wish he was still here.

I personally think they're gonna end up giving all 3 guys a shot in the first few games because none of them will separate themselves. And of course, if that happens it will mean bad things for this offense.
Also,
I disagree. There are really only 3 teams on the schedule that lsu can overpower by being lsu.
southeastern
tech
rice
ole miss is probably not gonna be too good but if lsu isn't good who knows what could happend.
ms st, florida, aTm, and arkansas are unproven. and have new (and imo better) coaches.
Miami, auburn, georgia, and bama are L's in my opinion right off the bat.
Worst case really could be 5-6 wins.

Maybe this explains why O was so upset when we lost that Foster QB....I've always defended O and I'll wait until we see how they play in a real game, but if a lesser talented JM starts over the other 2, than QB development and recruiting is no better than when Les Miles was here, and I despised having Les as our HC.

Yeah, because none of the other games he coached were real. How long did you give the Last guy? September of 05?

What I don't understand is how every Mid Atlantic school can take a freshman from nowhere who was ranked with 1 star and turn most of them into salvageable if not amazing QB's.
I personally like our OC, but why in the hell can't we hire a QB coach. These guys were 3-4 star prospects, there is no reason they shouldn't be really progressing other than the fact that maybe the D they practice against really is one of the better ones in the country this year.

In no way am I alluding to wishing Les was still here, but he was one of LSU’s most winning coaches in history. So I think it’s a fair comparison because the current head coach should at LEAST meet the standard of the previous staff. Don’t you think?

They billed O as an immediate improvement to Les so that’s the bar. He has the assistants and the players he wants now he lives or dies by what he can or cannot accomplish.

I can understand if the coaching staff starts JM over MB because of his scrambling ability.
Still didn't recruit any OL "Difference Makers" this past year, so it's not 100% blame on Miles/Grimes now.
If they can't pass block again in 2018, it will fall on O/Cregg.

Last time Les won 10 games was in 2013.

That’s a bit disingenuous... 2015 would be 10 wins if not for McNeese St cancellation

Yup 2015 was easily a 10 win season

That’s what worries me... Plus we didn’t recruit any great RBs or QBs... It will be interesting to see the outcome... It’s worrying to say the least

Because our D will be better
And they lost a ton up front on Defense
And, because we're better & it's essentially a home game being in Arlington.

Our D will be gassed by the 3rd quarter if our offense can't stay on the field . Miami is far from a sure win.
