He's the head coach

Considering the type of offense he runs maybe its best if he does what a lot of good head coaches do and MANAGE the team and let his COORDINATORS coordinate in their respective fields of expertise.

This is what good managers in successful companies do. They dont micromanage. They hire and assemble a good team of highly skilled individuals, layout clear lines, delegate responsibility and then GET THE frickK OUT OF THE WAY.

He does. All the coaches go over the game plan and the cooridinators call the plays. He makes suggestions...like run, pass, fake...but he does not call plays. this is what all head coaches do...except for maybe Sean Payton and a few others.

its not micromanaging...it's his fricking job. Jesus

You want something not perfect?

Unless we get at least two more oline committments, a QB committment, and a running back committment (if DW plays LB) we will probably suck on offense in 3 or 4 years.

But I'm hopeful.

You just had to do this, didn't you?

Seriously, there is a problem when there are 1* recruits from small schools who look more comfortable in the pocket than our QBs have.

This is truth. Only homers will deny this.

recent shitty job he's done recruiting LBs and the looming shitty job he's doing recruiting Oline

We signed Donovaughn Campbell and have Will Allen in the wings after signing Maea Teuhema, Chidi Valentine-Okeke, and Toby Weathersby last year. Teuhema was a regular starter this year and Weathersby was the first off the bench when Hawkins was out with injury.

And while we did a shitty job of recruiting LBs in the past, that blame needs to be placed on the position coach that was actually recruiting them. In this class, we have Fowler, Divinity, White, Cameron, and may be signing 1-2 more.

As far as QBs go, we did miss out on Patterson and Franks, but are making some major moves on Haskins and Russo in this class and Narcisse in '17, and I really think McMillan is going to be a gem from last year.

If you're bitching about recruiting THIS year, then there really just is nothing but cloudy days for you.

you're not even worth arguing with because you obviously don't pay attention

Again, do you watch other teams offenses? LSU has not changed much on offense. Do you disagree that a marked difference is needed?

Not saying that we need to run Oregon or Auburns offense but whats wrong with misdirection, quick slants, middle screens, passing to the TE, more than 3 formations, more than 2 receiver routes, a little read option, the draw play. Our recent playbook could fit on the back of a matchbook.

Satan touches everything on his team. Thats why it looks the same through so much coaching turnover.

So are you saying Nick Saban is a terrible manager, or that the corporate structure of a successful business has nothing to do with college athletics?
