The offensive philosophy has changed Why do people keep saying that. Did you think we were gonna go from pro style to a spread wide open offense? If so youre a dumbass. We threw the ball 28 times game 1. That's a change.


No it isn't.

It is not the number of pass attempts. It is the play calls, play selection, running rudimentary pass plays that rarely feature more than 2 WRs.

It is the lack of creativity and the lack of any attempt to exploit mismatches. Most of the pass plays are no more complicated than play action deep post and hope the WR can make a play.

That is not how to run an effective passing game in 2016. I see more complicated passing systems in junior high games.

You might want to check our record last year.


And NO, he doesn't get credit for winning a game that was not played.

NO he doesn't.

BH and LSU won 9 games last year. Not 10. That is an indisputable fact.

the problem with Les is, and he did this crap with JJ as well, publicly he says there's competition at QB, but its clear as day his mind was made up going in. He WANTED Harris to be a thing, despite what his eyes were telling him.

*sigh

I'm aware.

But in the context of my statement, Harris is a 10 game winning QB.

But continue to be disingenuous if you want. It just makes you look silly.

I don't really know why you are arguing this. There is no context in which Harris won 10 games last year. He won 9. That's it.

We did not play McNesse, and no matter how sure we all are that we would have won easily, the fact is the game was cancelled and no one gets credit for winning a game that was not played.

Really, claiming that he won 10 games last year is disigenuous when it is an absolute fact that he did not.

You have to give Jennings just as much credit for starting and winning that McNeese St game as well then.

Now that that's said you should realize how dumb this argument is. 9 is the number.

I saw that not as stress, but as blind madness because he could potentially be wrong about Harris and what the offense needs to do to be successful.





of course you did because you are a moron. Thanks for letting us know

I would theorize that maybe some results oriented (not eye test, not practice heros) competition / controversy might do wonders. Some particular players for sure... and for some particular staff. Constant improvement overall is what is lacking; maybe it's lacking due to proper motivation or onset of complacency.

All need to get the message, Miles included, that none are bulletproof.

ETA: pressure, applied in many different ways and on several key people is exactly what is called for now. Miles didn't feel it because of the firingclusterfrick and bowl performance. Well... times have changed.

No one should get credit for beating McNeese even if the game is played.

I'm not exactly sure how that makes any sense whatsoever

Yes. LSU won 9 games last year. I know that.

But the statement was that if Etling could be a 10 win QB, why was Harris even starting in the first place. And the fact is, whether y'all want to admit it or not, is that Harris was a 10 win QB last year without the game cancellation.

That was my point.

I think it was after the 2010 season in his end of the year presser where he admitted and I quote "Loyalty is my biggest flaw."

And the fact is, weather you want to admit it or not, that the game WAS cancelled and BH DID NOT WIN IT and ONLY WON 9 GAMES.

Hell, lets jsut call him a 13 game winner while we are at it. I mean, if we had not lost 3 in a row in November, we would have won them.

frick, if we had played in the nantional champioship game, he might have won that too.

Look everybody, Harris won 15 games last year.

Harris sucked Saturday. Etling put on a show. You are only as good as your last performance. In the game and in life.

His point in claiming that Harris won a game that was not played?

It is a stupid argument to make and an even stupider one to defend.
