things that must happen for next year to be 'special'

lots of positive vibes right now on LSU football and they are justified. there are a few 'if's' that need to be realized for next season to be special. help me identify them. here are a few in no order of importance:
1) tyler shelvin continue to improve and come back ready to dominate and be a key part of the DL rotation
2) one of the two incoming rb's (if not both) needs to be ready
3) OL needs to improve. have lots of depth now. but the top 5 need to get it done. period.
4) need a better punt returner, returning to the long tradition at LSU of stellar all-SEC/all-america caliber PR.
5) cade york needs to be good. maybe not as good as cole tracy but good
im not including anything about stingley or CB's because i am assuming Stingley, Vincent, Kelvin Jospeh, Fulton, Todd Harris, etc will be great. in fact possibly better than this year considering Stingley is replacing greedy and the others all have that much more experience now
im not including chaisson because im assuming he will return and not miss a beat
im not including play calling because i am assuming with a better OL this will more or less resolve itself
im not including devin white returning because i dont expect him to, and i think with chaisson, philips, divinity, jacoby stevens, queen, baskerville, et al (and Aranda) the LB's will be great

Let the downvoted rain down, but this team isn’t winning anything important until the offense coaching staff has some major turnover.
SE is not leading this offense to a championship. It sucks but it’s true.

1) Passing game needs to drastically improve.
2) Beat Alabama.

If the offense doesn't perform MUCH better(especially in the redzone), then he needs to go. And by go I mean back to TE coach. SE is a good man and should be allowed to coach TE's as long as he wants.

I'm hoping that O hires a CO offensive coordinator to work with Steve. I have no problem with running a pro/spread hybrid. I don't even have a problem with them designing it from scratch. I just want the right input.
I'm excited about this season.

I absolutely think LSU could have an incredible season next year and even make the playoffs. I think the thing that must happen is we have to have luck on our side. Every team that makes it into the playoffs had had some things fall their way.
This season Tua goes down at Bama and Hurts (who most thought for sure was going to transfer, decides to stay) is there to lead them back against Georgia. The season we won the championship with two losses, it took a lot of luck to even have a chance to make it into the NC game.

You were excited about 2018 offense before the year. Everyone knows youre just a lying invalid.

People don’t like the truth. Our offense is wildly inconsistent and has problems moving the ball against solid defenses minus the Georgia game. Maybe they get it figured out this year though.

If Jim fricking Chaney can do it, I assure you Ensminger can

We’re an OC away from next year being “special”
Posted on 1/12/19 at 10:48 am to gerkin
Playcalling has to get better. Need more innovation on the offensive side of the ball or it will be 4 straight time Ensminger will be shut out by Bama.

John Emery needs to have a season comparable to Brossette had this year

Wait what? We’re expecting a lot more from Emery.
ETA: 4.3 per carry and a long of 50, with few other long runs, isn’t stellar.

No.
We’re expecting more from Emery. He’s a better back.

Steve E was playing Poker with half a deck this season. You can’t run spread/pro style offense when you have to keep 7-8 in to block 4. Better RB, O-Line, Qb-Wr cohesiveness must and should be better. If he can’t get it done this year, defending him will be hard.
