re: Let's discuss the "lack of execution" meme

I do think Mett will be a very good QB

Maybe he will, maybe he won't. But does anybody ever wonder how "great" he and some of our previous QBs might be or have been, had they been given seriously good QB coaching? And the receivers, had they really been coached to catch and improve with each game?

Erratic coaching = erratic execution = erratic offense...
And what have we seen in 2012?

First of all, your post is not a discussion, as you've already made up your mind.

Discussion can be 2 sides presenting their points.

My points were made towards the greater point of the meme.

That said, look at plays like Copeland completely whiffing a block Monday night that got an easy sack. Or at all the dropped passes this season. And that's the easy stuff for fans to see. We don't know on many plays, where someone missed an assignment.

But if it is a problem that has been consistent for multiple groups of personnel, then it isn't the personnel. . .unless we are just recruiting idiots.

The problem is the shifting blame.

-Pick-6's
-Crowton
-JJ/Sacks
-QB play in general
-Over-committing to playing upperclassmen
-Execution

We should now understand these are symptoms of the problem.

Ultimately we have a problem with execution and predictability, that is all true. The GREATER issue is that we have displayed these problems consistently.

How do we fix the greater problem?

Replacing personnel HAS NOT WORKED. Knowing this we can surmise one fact:

The personnel is not the problem

To me the bigger concern is player development, especially on the OL

Our OC is an OL guy. So is our HC.

Will they magically begin to develop talent going forward? Do they know how?

They should, it's the position that both know the most intimately.

Roaad is spot on and many already understand this. It is frustrating when it seems every other team in the country has a much better offense. Every other school large or small has a better qb. I don't understand why and how Mett was sought after to save the offense. I have seen him play fair at best and is too slow. Why does our o line suck so bad? Towson state had a better line. Injuries have hurt us no doubt but our 2nd string should be able to block someone and should be better than a small programs 1st team. Our offense is a joke and I'm referring to the overall plan or lack there of not our players. I'm tired of LSU being the joke of the nation. It has reached a point offensively that our recruiting will start to drop off big time. I'm not a miles lover nor am I screaming for his removal. I lean toward bring in a big name oc, db coach replacement, o line coach, and someone that scout a qb. This is getting lengthy but while we're at it let's have a real qb competition. Last wish.....we need some big physical receivers. Attack away

Yep. When your scheme does not give you an advantage or attempt to get the defense on the wrong foot, any slight mistake will be glaring. Has been a problem for a while.

Here's a decent article talking about the whole scheme argument.

tl;dr

Blaming anyone other than the architects is just ludicrous.

The offense seems to be designed for Forrest Gump type player. Simple minded. We must have alot of Gumps on our offense which limits the complexity of the offense. We need to recruit more Lieutenant Dans and fewer Bubbas and Gumps and then we can expand our offensive complexity.

Gump excelled at Alabama but they were a little more diverse.

Oftentimes this gets erroneously dismissed as faulty execution.

how can we NOT say that it is CLEARLY a coaching issue?

Does it matter if we call it lack of execution? Lack of execution is a coaching issue.

You said meme. I see no meme.
