Ohio State was even flawed last year despite all the money they spent they just got hot at the right time in playoffs.
That OSU team didn’t have many flaws to begin with. They were stacked at nearly every single position on both sides of the ball.

I don’t understand why Nuss’s injury or poor O line play keeps us from running quick slant routes.
Idk if Sloan sucks but he definitely doesn’t utilize some things that clearly work with our talent.

All indication is that Sloan is following the directives of his boss

It seems that Sloan may actually be able to call a decent game.
But I have yet to see this offense take the field and be mentally prepared to play.
They seem to be out of sync and not be on the same page. The offensive line lacks an edge in terms of physicality. These linemen are plenty big enough, and plenty talented enough. What seems to lack, is mindset.
You look at the defense and they’re out there ready to fight. The play with a physicality and a swagger that LSU defense has been missing for YEARS.
If our offense can get on the same page, and if our offensive line can change their mindset and be more physical and begin to play well as a whole unit, this team is hands down the best team in the nation.
Can Brad Davis get the most out of his players? That is the biggest question I have for this football team. Obviously Davis can recruit at a high level, and I’m sure he knows great technique. But does he know how to get his players to reach their potential? Is he capable of helping these young men find and play ball with the mindset of a tiger?

When you can't call plays in the red zone and have a ridiculously bad red zone offense, 16 games is plenty large enough of a sample size to determine if someone sucks as a play caller.
Sloan sucks. Our red zone offense sucked arse last year and sucks arse so far this year. That is on him. The play calling was atrocious to anyone with a lick of sense.
Does it mean it is ALL his fault? No, but he is the biggest contributor.

When your AD commits to a ten year contract with a mind boggling buy out, the HC can cover for deep coaching deficiencies on his staff.
After all, if you do not like the performance deficiencies of his staff, you can fire him. And pay the price.
There is no meaningful accountability.

You are welcome Nick Saban. Unlike you my opinions comes from experience playing the game, sitting in coaches game film review meeting and being associated with many coaches. I did workouts with 2 LSU QB's Paul and Pat Lyons along with Billy Rickman who played for the Atlanta Falcons. No I am not a coach but certainly have much more experience to understand our OC. Bet you disliked Ensminger too. The late Nelson Stokley once told me Steve Ensminger was one of the hardest OC to figure out.
billy rickman?
slow down on the bourbon, grandpa

Also, is Kikicaca Sloan's version of Ponamsky? Whining about fans on the internet to protect his boss? 
Look, Sloan may not be as bad as some believe, and as previously mentioned, it's not all of his fault, but the man was completely unqualified and undeserving of the OC position at LSU based on his resume. He is not in his position if not for a recruit he was supposed to secure, and he couldn't even do that.
In the end, He is living off the Jayden Daniels hype train more than anyone, but somehow people give him full credit for JD's growth. But as others mentioned, when you can pretty much predict 80% of his play calls based on game situation and personnel as a simple fan observing the game, what do you think qualified and experienced coaches will do?

I’d love to sit there and watch/listen to you do this
How about this. Do the first two drives vs SLU.. make a thread and give your predictions before the play. If you get 50% exactly right I’ll Venmo you some cash

i get what you're saying but sometimes you run plays to set things up for other plays. and no one is perfect. I have seen flaws just like you, but I'm not ready to give up on this offense just yet. they haven't played together until this year. the oline cannot be good until they play together for 6 or more games. But If the offense still can't execute better after 6 games, the chances of big improvement get slim, and getting in the playoffs is about as far as we will go. maybe win a game there, 2 if we get a good matchup.

Utterly amazing that your post is getting upvoted while the people who upvote it make the very mistake you’re pointing out.

Then why did they lose 2 games in their conference if they weren't flawed? Talented sure, but they were still flawed otherwise they wouldn't have lost to 2 inferior teams.

I think it's Nuss's injury and a young OL.
Three games in and few film study podcasts and it is obvious this OL is not handling their business. I tried not to just say they are bad because I still think they can fix their issues. They definitely have not mastered the blocking schemes. And the RBs have no vision or patience.

Sloan was lead recruiter for Pop Houston and got his commitment you idiot. You know the guy everyone here says is the best QB even above Haven. OC's and DC's don't just do what the hell they want to do you ignorant jackass. If you ever played you would know that. Coaches have gameplan meeting to decide how to beat an opponent and the HC takes advice but the gameplan is a meeting of minds. BTW Debbie downer we are 3-0. Steve Ensminger to you clown.

I mean he is using his defense while the OL works things out. He doesn’t want the offense to throw picks and put the Defense in a bad position. You can argue about the team not being ready but his game plan for the beginning has been what they needed.
