Still an open question about coach O’s ability to recruit top 5 talent, we”ll have to wait and see.

But watching LSU deal with a storm and opp. I was impressed watching O’s style of coaching on the sidelines and in the tunnel at Tenn, there’s a very close connection he has with players that can take LSU far, but it still needs recruiting.

This is what I saw in the tunnel at Tenn, that was impressive and got me excited. LINK /

His big recruiting push happens at the end of the season or after. Just wait.

Yeah, I was livid about the hire and still not sure if it’ll work out once his coordinators move on, but O is definitely good at getting his guys to play hard. The improvement over the season is really nice.

I’d agree with this. His finish last season was insane especially with pulling Chaisson and a few of the LB’s that we weren’t expected to get. I think he’s a really strong closer and that everyone will be pleasantly surprised come February

LSU players were playing hard and having fun, they seemed not distracted by this freakish storm. They appeared to reflect their coach who was smiling and very much into the game despite a hellish night.

To be honest Les had the connection too. It wasn't until the futility of some of his game management philosophy became apparent that players started to lose that motivation and respect.

If O doesn't show the ability to make that next step quickly he will suffer the same fate.

LSU’s second half improvements appear to be a real change from the way they’ve played in the past, but LSU can’t continue to start off so slow offensively.

LSU appears stronger this year, as well. We've absolutely wrecked SEC depth charts this season.

I'm more inclined to put more emphasis on adjustments by the coordinators. Canada runs certain plays in the 1st half to set up plays later. Aranda's defensive adjustments speak for themselves with the lack of points yielded by the D in the 2nd half.

His ability to motivate was never in question. His ability to run and sustain a major program is the concern.

Coach O appears to be running the program well after getting off to a miserable start, still have to wait and see how well he handles recruiting.

Look for Alleva to extend him after this season.

Now only if he can get them to play hard for 12 games... The team looked totally unprepared to start the season.

I agree unprepared but it’s been like night and day since, LSU looks very well prepared.

Ya I think he will do fine recruiting. I’ve followed recruiting close since 2010 and this was the best freshman class I’ve seen. He knows how to manage a roster and has an eye for talent. He saw chaaison and offered before he was even rated. He offered tori carter and was only big program to do it. And look at him now. I thought this year was crucial for O. I was worried after troy but he turned it around. He needed a 9 or 10 win season imo because of his failure at ole miss and being unproven as a HC. Rivals won’t be able to negative recruit against O by saying he’s not HC material with a solid season. And he looks to finish strong and will create some excitement

I ask this seriously - is this team better than the team that blanked BYU 27-0 and dominated Chattanooga?

We had a terrible mid-September to early October, but are we better today than we were on 9/3/17?
