We are talking about Corey Raymond being elite, not coach O…. 2 bad years under Coach O’s epic fall doesn’t negate Raymond’s multiple years of being great

Thanks for that clarification. I missed that. Makes way more sense now.

IMO, Raymond was a much bigger loss than Moffitt was at the time. LSU's SC issues predated Kelly and started under Moffitt. I wonder if that was more about accountability coming from the HC office, though. I do know for a fact that there was little accountability in terms of the nutrition center under O, much more under Kelly.

I remember comments when Kelly first took over about the team not fading as fast as they had been doing in the previous seasons. Of course, that could go back to people seeing what they wanted to see. As fans, we almost always fall prey to that at some point.

I’d say more than half. Also, many on here said that Raymond wasn’t a big loss. Maybe it was a coping mechanism?

Yes I agree. I also think now that with the transfer portal and the way college football players hop, that the S&C has a lot less of an impact.

Obviously still very important, but the days of taking a freshman over the course of 2-3 years and making him an elite athlete is uncommon because they just transfer out if they aren’t playing.


Very weird times

It isn't mind-blowing. That was part of the reason everybody finally jad enough of him.

There was a major issue with our O line when Moott was here.
I don't care how strong a player is, your technique must be good to
be a good O lineman. When our line failed to get a good push against
lesser opponents, it was genereally assumed by our fans that they weren't strong enough. While strength is a necessity for O lineman, if they can't put that strength with good technique, they aren't going to effective. While I was never sure how good Moffitt was, I was sure that we were certainly strong enough to look much better than we were.

Hopefully we have corrected this situation to now have great coaching along with superior strenth and conditioning

I’ve said this before

TM had gotten quite lazy and entitled at LSU

Being fired woke him up.

It sucks he went to Aggieland but he was no longer cutting it here

He is a great S&C coach. He just was at LSU too long. It happens. Things get stale even with the best. That's why it's a good idea to change jobs every now and then.
