re: How did Etling not get more attention in practice?

You are correct, most programs do not have as many Ws as LSU.

So Les did the right thing. Thanks for coming around.

Citation to where I said he didn't, you pompous arse? Thanks in advance. I hope those goalposts weren't too heavy for you.

If anyone on here thinks he can coach half as well as the guys that are there, then do us all a favor and please submit your application to Alleva.

BigSlick - I agree with most of your post except for your statement above.

Just because guys are coaching at LSU doesn't automatically make them great coaches who don't make bad mistakes. Many people, coaches included, rise to levels they don't deserve, for many different reasons.

This applies to all types of jobs - there are many terrible lawyers who are partners at prestigious firms, there are many crappy doctors at big hospitals, there are many terrible CEOs, etc, etc, etc.

So don't reflexively believe that all our coaches are excellent and all fans are morons. After all, football isn't that complicated, and sometimes knowledgeable fans can see things that bad coaches might miss (or might refuse to acknowledge due to more personal reasons).

So yes, some of our coaching decisions might be absolutely terrible, and just because fans aren't on the coaching staff doesn't mean the fans are wrong.

Harris looked better in practice, but loses composure in games.

Man come on. After a pick six and an int in the 2nd half, yeah. I'm talking about first half.

You want him to take out the guy that had been the starter all last year and all off season after one half?

Why didn't Miles let Etling have a shot in the 2nd quarter?

---

Because you don't pull your starter in the first half of the first game.

Any Joe Blow can see a night/day difference between Harris and Etling.

Surely they saw this in practice leading up to the game?

---

Did you not read my previous posts are listen to any reporting of how Harris practices?

When Etling looks far advanced in every facet of the qb position, yes.

Ok captain hindsight.

Without question. Again, back to the OP (what this thread is about), why wasn't this noticed after watching both practice for so many months together?

---

I'm not repeating myself any more. The answer has been posted and reported.

So you just rest on your laurels and take the L like a man. Got it.

Easy to say in hindsight. The game was not out of reach. No coach makes that change in the first game of the year with a returning starter. None.

I did, and it's speculation on your part. Can you provide a link that states it to be truth? Yeah, didn't think so.

---

It's not speculation when it's fricking reported. I didn't just make it up. STFU

And another

I just did. Perhaps try Googling before spouting off again.

You didn't just provide stats and Miles' account of what happened in scrimmage as "facts"....

Not sure why you're laughing. I'm guessing it's because you can't read particularly well.

And there it is. Douchebag LNCHBOX who feels the need to personally attack people who disagree with him by claiming they're dumb. You are so smart! Man, we should all stop discussing LSU and listen to just your genius opinion.

I wish I could buy you for what you're worth and sell you for what you think you're worth.
