That will keep you in a game. However, the years our D went from being good to great, were when they were creating turnovers. There is no better boost for an average or weaker offense than a D that creates easy opportunities. At its best, our 2011 offense was slightly above average, but when the D is handing you field position and scoring points on its own (as well as the special teams), then you can elevate that ok offense to excellent.


Right on. In 2011 our offense wasn't that great and fed off of defense and special teams. See SEC championship game when we did nothing the first half. If only we would have had that defense with our 2013 offense.

Last couple of years our defense has been really good but we have not really produced a pass rush and the "nastiness" just isn't there. I don't mind a few personal fouls from the defense if they are playing with passion and emotion. That has been missing and it's time to get it back.

Would be great but I'm not an insider so no inside information, just what I read on the Rant.

As someone posted earlier, as fast as they reached out to CP maybe CLM saw this coming and was already prepared. Hope we do get it done quick for recruiting purposes.

This is my hope. There are a bunch of big defensive prospects on the block right now, and some may pull the trigger soon if we don't give them a reason to think it over.

Kinda of quite on the home front. Not much chatter or smoke going up. Any news on who's going to interview for the position?

You and I both know that defense spent way to much time on the field most of the games and still ranked that high.


We were top 10 in time of possession and only behind Arkansas in the SEC.

It's quite remarkable how A&M fans keeping lauding time of possession on us when their sole philosophy is to score quickly.

Crazy things happen, but Will has more recent history at auburn. He was at lsu with saban. I can't imagine he burns them

If anyone thinks Will or Bo are possibilities at this point, all I can do is just :roll eyes:

I hope they don't let recruiting move them too fast and settle for a tier 3 DC

Put the full court press on CP, pull out the check book and tell CLM things have to change and WILL change

you do that you get your man

But if history dictates we get a tier 2 or 3 DC at less than market and NOTHING is said to CLM

Aleva has the ball- what will he do with it?

He will have write a bigger check to get BeBe and CP here. It may have been cheaper to keep Chief.

Yeah, but if we end up landing those guys it will be worth it in the end...on and off the field.

If they write the bigger the check they send the correct messages:

To Chief- you mis calculated. You got bad advice

To Miles- This is it buddy, win now or you are history

To the team- We got your back, do not let one coach's poor decision bother you. You are a LSU TIGER!

and to the SEC-- We ain't dead yet- We'll be baaaaaaaaaaaack!

Alleva would not go up on Chief's monetary demands because he refuses to pay that much for a coordinator (supposedly, he has said as much). He would have to pony up more than he is comfortable with in order to get CP and bebe and we already have the most expensive staff in College Football.

I do like your scenario much better! Hopefully it happens.

We could be headed into a spending war with Snyder for Clancy.

Gruden wants him in DC by all indications
