re: I don't get how people can't see this LSU team is very, very good.

Stupid or not it was the hot name. O couldn’t set his ego and temper aside to try and work with the guy who knows a hell of a lot more about offense than himself.

I didn't read but your first example. How do you know if the ol will be better or not better

Great.

Well Magee has shown throughout his career he is a situational lineman, and he has battled throughout spring, summer, and fall to nail down a spot and it’s not even definite. Lights out, can you show me how Magee played lights out? You say reports are Lewis is our best lineman...well reports are also that our OL is getting manhandled in practice. Before you say “Our DL is incredible!!” Let me remind you that Miami, Mississippi State, Alabama, and Georgia have better DLs than us. Again, maybe not by the end of the year, but looking forward they do.

So no, I’m quite skeptical going into the season.

I just don’t get why people can’t be skeptical by providing facts. Fact: New QB, all new WRs, New RBs, 3 new OL. A lot of reason to have doubt

Apparently no one could get along with Canada. He was just a bad hire

That’s besides the point. It was clear what O claimed to want and be looking was just lies. He did want E the whole time simply for control purposes.

Failure, bad hire, Canada’s faul (even though I don’t believe it) doesn’t matter. Still falls on O.

Who were we fighting with for Canada?

His offense wasn't fit for the SEC and Canada hasn't been able to get along with anyone at any stop. The hire was dumb from jump and O should've let his ego get in the way before the hire was made. He caved.

The offense should produce from day one. I understand gelling as the season unfolds but they better field a competent offense. They're working with a very short leash.

---

Well the reality is that O put himself in this position to produce immediately when he fired his OC after year one.

Common sense would dictate that offenses need time to gel but as you said the reality is Orgeron forfeited that grace period when he fired Canada.

Ree will let you know, he was a Broyles award finalist. In fact, the only OC finalist. He also had a job at a P5 school. It doesn’t get much bigger than LSU and the SEC, so once O came calling and offered, why even entertain anyone else?

I'm optimistic but you ain't good till you prove it.

Hiring Canada was a mistake. Keeping him around was not an option. Regardless this offense has to be ready to play.

We didn’t look anything like Pitt when we tried to run it.

I don't think LSU had the type of student athlete to grasp the totality of his offense. We were terrible the first few games. People out of place, false starts..
