The state of LSU football and the last 4th down play.....

Do you expect anything different? Why does the whole team need to go to the sidelines. What happen to just taking a knee on the field, and the qb runs back onto the field and calls the play.

I think clock/game manangement covers it. A substitution issue at that critical point of the game (after a timeout) is clearly poor game management.

People who only want to blame the OC are crazy. If everyone can't see the same f ups by this coachimg staff over and over again have their heads in the sand. There are better high school coaches around the state than Miles and Company.

Sad, but true. Game management is attrocious. I like what Oregons coach said, "We don't get nervous because we are prepared and know what we are doing." Compare this to what you see on the field with LSU. Lack of confidence, no one seems to know what to do. No cohesion, a lame game plan, and they aren't great at a single thing. LSU is so so at a lot of different things. This equals good at nothing and the scoreboard shows that.

Tuna get Miles nuts off your chin so you can see what is really happening.

That play is embarrassing to watch. Indefensible. QB might has well have been out there by himself.

I'm paraphrasing but, verne used the word "chaos" and gerry said "...and that's chaos coming out of a timeout"
we all know what happened next.
We robbed ourselves of that drive, and unlike last year at bama when peterson had the pick to set up a late drive, last year in tuscaloosa , the refs plus the replay supervisor (a paid bama booster club speaker, but that's another topic) did the taking. Saturday's 4th and 6 fiasco is all our own undoing. The coaches need to blame only themselves.
And fallouts like these ARE coaching. For moments like 4th and 6. Timout LSU. Our offensive unit needs a system, any will do, to getting the team gathered, verbally coached up, and back onto the field, all 11 of them, after timeouts, and that can go for getting on the field for the first offensive play of a series/the game/half. We have nothing. And what may seem like a minor detail; what may seem like something we can freelance bites us at the worst time. Of course.
That's on the coaches. Little details are not being thought through. That's why this thread is a great one. Miles and crowton should be crushed pubically for the post timeout song and dance. At that moment we had a "hey everybody come here...listen up...OK...got it...good...go get 'em...oh shite" kind of deal; when a displicined team/staff would have a regimented, practiced method in place, a proven plan which includes accountability. By accountability I mean you russell shepard. I mean the bench waits for the player who engages in those kinds of screw ups. The staff clearly communicates to the player, who knows the punnishment, and the player is held accountable. Voila, a disciplined culture emerges.
That ten men, late entry, toliver this way-that way, lee carry (and yes we should have before the ball was snapped taken a second timeout) that "what the hell moment" folks is a microcosm of not thinking things through and not thinking about all scenarios.
I'm embarrassed. Too often I'm embarrassed.

can we do like in pee wee football and in timeouts go and line up everyone in the correct position???? MAN WTF

And if we would have won that game we would have been 1st in the BCS??????

that's funny. I believe miles is now ranked third in winning % in college football over the last 5+ years by active college football coaches. Hell, I know though, coaching has nothing to do with wins/losses.
