How much of an influence do you think Denbrock had on the program?

I don't discount what he did this last season. There's no doubt he was a big reason for the offensive success.

But I'm curious what's everyone's thoughts on just how important he was to the program overall.

Sloan and Hankton are both great at what they do. And there seems to be a lot of thought around Sloan being the real brains / talent behind the offensive explosion and JD's development.

You also think about how a guy like Bryce Underwood sees Denbrock leave for ND a couple days before his commitment and it literally doesn't shake his confidence at all to still go ahead and sign here. That alone tells me that Denbrock played virtually no factor in the decision.

So what's your take?

His influence? Brother, I could tell you almost every 3rd down play before they even happened. The play of JD, Malik and BTJr overshadowed a ton of shitty play calling from Denbrock

Moderate.

Jayens confidence and experience with his wideouts meant more.

This is Kelly’s offense. Sloan and Hankton know what Kelly wants to do.
Having the best OL in the country, going to make it so much easier.
With the depth we are now getting, Kelly and staff will be able to use the personnel packages they want to use.
Having 1, 2 or 3 TE’s on the field. Pick your poison.

LSU fan logic to a T. The guy who left, who was in the higher ranking position, wasn't really all that important. The people who were really running the show were the coaches who are still here.

I hope we're better at the goal line without him

None of that is the case. Denbrock's offense was not really aligned with his personnel. Without Jayden's legs and improvement, we would be paying him to go away as well.
