re: Some of us seem to have unrealistic expectations

Why is that wrong... I contradict myself because it's not a black and white situation. It's not first take where you feel strongly one way or the other.

I like our coach and players, but there not there yet on the lines. I don't know if it's talent or coaching on those positions. .

The only thing I know for sure is that even though I love burrow as a leader,love his toughness his accuracy,especially on short to intermediate routs or throws..but he's limited in his arm strength and that's not getting it done against the best teams ..

I may change my mind next season, but let's not put the Heisman trophy candidate able on him this off season...

I don't care who the coach is, Bill Walsh couldnt even get 40 tdS out of him though. He's limited.

Steve ensminger damn sure ain't getting that out of him. .just not creative enough offense in my opinion..

The contradiction in my mind is, is our lack of offense creativity strictly coaching, or is our lack of good o line play and continuity keeping us from the creativity we desire

You expected 7-8 wins on the basis that auburn and miami were good football teams and that just wasn't the case.

I'm not coming up with excuses. I'm trying to understand how we can get the offense better and what's the reason its not..

He can only do so much though. If our teams have injuries or suspensions how is he supposed to mitigate those circumstances?

You have to be trolling at this point.

The more I think and talk bout it....does our offensive production come down to one simple question?

I mean, does the question of whether or not o needs to get rid of coach e come down to this questin below ?

Is orgerons most important job after the bowl game ,to Figure out if the offenses lack of creativity and CONSISTENT production is on coach ensmingers offenses design and play calling.

Or is his offense so hampered by pass protection that it's not possible to know what we've got here with burrow and coach ensminger?

If it's the latter, then he's gonna stay rite?

As an exercise in balance, I've made a decision to make arguments for both sides.

I don't necessarily believe some of the viewpoints I put forth in some of these threads but I will not be accused of being one-sided, biased or bashing the head coach and his administration.

the biggest difference between us and Alabama is oline and defensive front 7 here is just the last 2 recruiting classes (2018-2019)
All per 24/7 sports composite

As you can see there is a big discrepancy on both lines of scrimmage I do believe Coach O is getting us on the right track but we have a long way to go and we need to start by landing big Ish and maybe we can start turning the tide no pun intended
Also one look at Georgia’s last two recruiting classes And you will see that they are recruiting both lines of scrimmage just as well as Alabama if not better. for LSU to get where they want to be not only will they have to beat Alabama but then beat a Georgia team that is just as talented in the SEC championship. It is just almost unfair how good they are recruiting. I love my tigers and want to see us win and get back to the promised land! Geaux Tigers!!!

You don't need to recruit as well as Bama on the line to compete with them.

OU played them tough and they recruit no better than we do.

OU recruits quite a bit worse than we do. But they still managed to score 34 points while once again we are shutout

The score was respectable but don't fool yourself, Bama could have scored as much as they wanted to on Oklahoma. The discrepancy in LSU/Bama's o-line/d-line is the direct result of the outcomes in the games along with Miles and O's conservative approaches on offense.
