1) What was the offensive gameplan on 1/9?
2) Why didn't you use more misdirection in the offense?
3) Why didn't you run the TE reverse off the toss dive again after it worked vs. Bama in 2010?
4) Why didn't you fight for your job by modernizing the offense during the 2016 offseason?

Do you think we could've scored on Bama if you called the Spider 2 Y Banana?

Q: What was your favorite game from your time at LSU?

A: I answered this on my podcast a little more in depth, but for me it has to be the 2007 game against Florida. I enjoyed the players' leadership that allowed us to successfully go for it on 4th down five different times. The guys who needed to make plays played big on those downs. We became the #1 team in the country after that game. It'll always hold a special place in my memory.

Q: Which coach was the most difficult to gameplan against?

A: Defensively, even though you knew generally where they were going to line up, the way Alabama played technique made it very difficult to play against them. The plan was pretty simple on paper -- you could draw up what you wanted to do and line everyone up perfectly. But once you were on the field, they played with such great technique that oftentimes your plan didn't matter much.
Offensively, Urban Meyer has a style of offense when he has a certain kind of quarterback -- i.e. Tim Tebow or JT Barrett -- that gives him a running advantage with numbers and the best possible play action scenarios. Those play action wrinkles were fun to work against, and in some cases, copy for ourselves.
I really like this question, I'm going to answer it in a little more depth on this week's podcast.

Q: How close were you to accepting the Michigan job in 2007?

A: This is another one I go pretty in-depth in on my podcast, third episode I believe.

It's my alma mater. It's a place I'm very loyal to. But in short, it's impossible to accept a job that wasn't offered.


Boom

Seriously? A season that we lost to Troy, had the doors blown off by MS State, and lost to Alabama by 14 is your favorite?

Q: Thanks for joining, much respect for everything you've accomplished. You ran quite a few trick plays in your time, which one was your favorite?

A: Probably the one that made the biggest difference was a game in the Swamp when we were playing an Urban Meyer-coached Florida team. We threw a back shoulder pitch from the holder to the kicker on a fake field goal attempt. The ball bounced, the kicker caught the ball and advanced to the first down. If we had tossed it cleanly, it would have been a touchdown, in my opinion. There was a long replay to determine whether the ball had bounced forward or not but fortunately, after studying it in depth, they ruled it a legal lateral. I was told Urban Meyer was positioning himself in a way where he was getting his offense ready to take the field in order to seemingly influence the decision. To counter that, I did the exact same thing and gathered my offense around.

After getting that first down, we ended up throwing a fade to Terrence Toliver to give us the lead in a big game.

Q: 1. Everyone loves to be a back seat coach, but what aspects of coaching are least understood or appreciated by the fans?
2. What do the best coaches do that sets them above the rest?
3. Why is it that some teams always seem to have another's number? e.g. LSU vs TAMU

A: I'll answer the first part here. There are a hundred decisions inside that football building surrounding timetables, practice schedules, nutrition, strength training, as well as individual game plan situations that go into every play called on the field. The reality behind the thought and discussions that go behind every aspect of the game are generally not fully appreciated by fans, understandably.

Or that he's making his availability and interest in the Michigan job known in case Jim Harbaugh decides to go back to the NFL
