re: Is OC Tony Peterson at Louisiana Tech good enough for LSU?

Wouldn't matter. Les doesn't let any coor. fully install everything they want to do. I've never seen any of our OC's show the offensive schemes they're known for while coaching under Les. Remember Gary Crowton? You should of seen the offenses he ran at Tech and BYU. He gets to LSU, and the offense looks nothing like the ones he coached everywhere else. Same with Cam. So no, Tony Peterson couldn't come in and make a difference under Les.

Hire TP and pay him $400k. He's making $200K at La Tech; you'll be able to give raises to the other coaches who deserve it.

More like give him 700k, but that's still less than half of what they pay Cam this year for this shitastic offense and at least 300k less than any year Cam has been here. We are paying Cam out the arse on name recognition alone. His money was already set like that back when we first brought him on.

Our offense this year has been, 1. run LF, 2. throw deep. Guice has got some yardage in the second half of games as well as Williams, but the offense has pretty much been the LF show.

Look at Oklahoma who took a young 30 something OC from East Carolina, a walk on QB, who is really damn good but was a walk nontheless, and completely turned their offense around. They went from being the Perine show with awful passing last year, to one of the most balanced and potent offenses this year. They lost nothing in the run game, and actually improved dramatically. Same on defense. The defense is actually much better than last year and is one of the best defenses in all of college ball when you factor in the offenses they play.

Yes - CC's offense is too complicated for our QBs.

if Les called the plays, and he said no. However, he did say he had major input into the offensive game plans every week

its pretty effin simple to see that he gives a list of plays that are "approved", he does NOT and I repeat NOT keep his hands out of the cookie jar

Maybe a better question is how would Driskel have done with this same LSU offense? If we had a QB that could make the throws, would a change be necessary. Would it be more like Mett's last year?

I asked a former player, who played under Les, if Les called the plays, and he said no. However, he did say he had major input into the offensive game plans every week.

this is the way it should be!

He is absolutely good enough, the question surrounds how willing is Les to adapt the offense. The NFL game is moving to a hybrid offense where you are under center and also spread out, he needs to get that figured out.

We don't need to move to wide open spread offense, however, we need to make sure it is in the arsenal.

What how LSU plays offense tomorrow night you stupid arse. The opponent does matter.

well yeah...TT defense is perfect for LSU's offense

this game should be Les's wet dream

And he is correct. I think our passing plays suck, the timing of plays called during games suck. Les has to make a change ASAP.
