So, you're picking one player's performance in one half of one football game and using that as proof positive that you're correct? You're picking and choosing small samples to try to make your case.

This whole discussion you posed is coming from you saying that LSU had a good game plan against Bama in another thread, but receivers dropped the ball. If multiple receivers are dropping passes in multiple games, then it sounds like you have a coaching problem. Who hires the position coaches? The head coach does and that's why everything comes back on the head coach good or bad because they are the ones making the decisions that ultimately have an impact on who wins and loses the game.

It's the latest example.
Plus It was at highest level of competition and level of success.

I apologize, it was just too obvious.
Wouldn't want to take that into Consideration would we?

But, it's not an example. The guy had ONE bad game and it was ONE player. Plus, the coach made the decision to replace him and they won the game, which just so happened to be the national championship.

No one is refuting that players have bad games here and there, but if multiple players at the same position have the same issue in multiple games, then that's coaching.

If a player is having a bad game and the coach keeps going back to that player, that's a coaching issue.

This discussion is easier to grasp in basketball. If a player is in a shooting slump, they don't get the same amount of minutes due to the coach sitting them down.

Funny coming from the guy who is too much of a bitch to even express a single solitary opinion of his own.

But to address your post- Nope. Unlike simpletons like you I’m not blindly in favor or against anyone. O, because he is the head coach, deserves a lion’s share of credit when things go right (see: gutsy comeback win v Auburn) and blame when things go bad (see: arse beating by State, losing to Troy). If the players on a consistent basis fail to “execute” its a reflection of the coach and his abilities, would you not generally agree? If the players consistently execute a shitty game plan is it also not a reflection of the coach?

Coaches, football is the sport that rely on the coaches the most once the game starts.


If the players aren't executing on a regular basis, the coach either needs to change the player, or call plays that play to the strengths of your players.

I just did. If players consistently fail to execute a solid gameplan it is a reflection of the coaching staff. Isolated failures on part of one or a few player can be attributed largely to the individual players but in the end, a coach is judged by results - wins and losses. If players consistently execute a shite gameplan or scheme it obviously reflects on the coaching staff as well.

Either way, gray tiger has never once expressed an opinion on the topic at hand. He sure as shite will bash others for their opinions but good luck getting him to express one of his own

That is pretty damn funny. I would say the receivers really underperformed when you consider their talent which is why Joseph is no longer the coach IMO.

I still would like an explanation as to why Sullivan was the analyst last year and not the coach. I'm assuming it's because of recruiting, but I don't follow that too much until signing day.

but schematically, what could the coaches have done to put the players in better position to succeed? call better plays, outscheme their opponents, spot matchup advantages and attack them accordingly, and above all - preparation.

Agree with all of this

This, not so much. In fact it's an incredibly stupid statement.

Dude obviously.
That's not the point though.

This thread all came together really based on discussion of lack of execution last year vs Alabama.

Players that didn't make plays that game proved themselves numerous times before and after.
That's not on the coaches .
It's on the players. Even the guys would admit that.

Then make a different post.

Cause I would Agree the plays were there. Chark had bama best over the top multiple times and Etling couldn’t make the throw.

Simultaneously there were games where literally all 3 facets of the team looked bad, unmotivated and unprepared. I think That has to be on the coaches at some point.

LSU's offense was executed by les miles about 10 years ago.

The movie is called the purple mile

You're right.

But on same note O did an great job for the most part righting ship so to speak after Troy debacle.

Things could've really gone south.
Instead we beat the F out of a lot of sec teams on road and at home.
