Pretty sure half of our recruiting classes from the past 2 years aren't even with the team anymore.


And the other half are wide receivers.

Maybe not start but Maason Smoth is a heckuva DL talent.

Eddie cannot manage the roster or develop players. Not a good combination considering all of his manifold other deficiencies.

Agreed. I love his potential. One more year of physical maturity and strength training and he will be forcing teams to double him.

and that is basically the answer to our problem. Complete busts in recruiting. O getting his marks for recruiting, but in reality, LSU is about 50th in the nation and playing like it.
What good is having 4*& 5* players if they aren't on the field producing? That is where we are.

He cannot build a roster which is what recruiting is all about.

Development has been lacking since O arrived. Moffit is the one that needs to go, OL and DL are weak. Missed tackles are strength issues and LB and DB lack strength. OL could not push McNeese who is in a real down year so how they gonna push on SEC teams.

we have a 21 million dollar contract to prohibit lack of talent and lack of skill, lack of coaching
Only one person is responsible for all of this

STOP making excuses. CLM needed to go sooner- let's not make the same mistake again

Cut your losses and move on. The sooner we do that the sooner we have an opportunity to rebuild the program

Ask yourself "If Saban was still at LSU" would we be were we are?

"Would Saban have lost to UCLA with this LSU team?

"would Saban have lost or won with this team Saturday night?

Point is not Saban but we do not have a Real Head Coach.- the experiment was a bad idea and it is over.

They are talented, it is just lack of culture & coaching. It starts with strength & conditioning. This is reason for tons of injuries, lineman are super top heavy & get pushed around. Then running basic defensive concepts and offensive concepts, cause none know or can teach the X & O parts of game. It all comes down to coaching. If Saban had started coaching this team in the spring, they would be undefeated right now! It is not talent!

Cregg did a crap job and Pellini plus O ran off some talent and misused some talent going to a 4-3 scheme. 3-4 worked pretty good and that is what we had recruited for. Then you F up and hire a stupid OC with zero experience cause you’re too busy banging hoes and this is what you get.

Most of our best talent is young and largely inexperienced. Our most experienced is largely not that talented.
