re: This Board is Full of Football Karens

They lost to two teams with brand new coaches all around.

That is went through a pandemic too.

At two shite schools .

The team lost an historic number of people last year that played key roles to our success (players and coaches).

This doesn't change the magnitude of the talent differential between LSU and the teams we lost to. Nearly every starter on offense and defense has been in the program for at least one year. We have one true freshman starter in Gilbert, and he's actually playing better than anyone else on the team after 3 games.

Missouri was also down 6 starters.

New D-Coordinator that brought new schemes enters.

Mississippi State had an entirely new coaching staff with a transfer QB. Missouri had an entirely new coaching with a redshirt freshman QB.

Enter a global pandemic that limited the amount of practice time the team had to prepare.

---

Everyone is affected by this. Everyone. If LSU is handling it significantly worse than every other team, then that's a problem.

Then enter a moved game due to a hurricane.

If you think the performance we saw yesterday was due to the fact that we were forced to play on the road in front of an empty stadium, then I really don't know what to tell you.

I wasn’t aware that LSU was the only program dealing with these things.

So many cherry pickers in here.

Of course every other team had to deal with the pandemic, and I'm sure quite a few teams had coaching changes.

But, how many had to replace the amount of talent we lost last year?

Do you not think that's a big deal?

Not just a loss

It was a loss when you were PLUS 5 in TO margin. LOL

On the heels of losing to an SEC record passing game from a QB who was subsequently benched in losses to AR (who was on a 20 game SEC losing streak), and KY

And they don’t have a draftable WR and turned the ball over 4 times. LOL

Im not saying the sky is falling. I’m just letting you know you’re standing on it. LMAO

Elite programs don’t look the way LSU does right now. It’s unfortunate that all of those things happened, but several other programs experienced the same problems and don’t look like shite. Alabama loses talent every year and they don’t look like shite. Our football team is pathetic and it’s downright embarrassing, and O looks like he doesn’t really care to fix it.

But, if you have somewhat of a brain, can think critically and objectively, then you have to understand all of the factors that have gone into this less than positive start of the season for every team in the country and realize that those factors are invalid excuses for O’s arrogant, terrible coaching decisions and lack of fire

FIFY. Your post sounds just like the defense of Les Miles in 2014. It points out “big picture excuses” while ignoring the actual big picture.

Yea, when they play Alabama & Florida

The coaches pushed the wrong buttons. This didn’t have much to do with talent. Especially watching what Miss St has become.

I'd rather a bunch of experienced three star seniors and juniors over a bunch of inexperienced four star freshmen and sophomores

Glen Logan = Redshirt senior.
Andre Anthony = Redshirt senior
Micah Baskerville = Junior
Damone Clark = Junior
Jabril Clark = Upperclassman grad transfer
Ali Gaye = Upperclassman grad transfer
Jacoby Stevens = Senior
Todd Harris = Redshirt Junior

Terrace Marshall = Junior
Racey McMath = Senior
Jontre Kirklin = Senior
Dare Rosenthal = Redshirt sophomore
Ed Ingram = Junior
Liam Shanahan = Upperclassman grad transfer
Austin Deculus = Senior
Chasen Hines = Junior
Myles Brennan = Redshirt junior
Chris Curry = Redshirt sophomore

Our starting 22 is PACKED with players that have been in the program for 2+ years.

$2million per year you had better be able to at least install base defenses, which we have not done

You’re not really going to sit here and say LSU lost because of talent are you lol

No, I made no statement even remotely close to that.

What he means is, he does not think the team is good and we should all just accept it and expect or desire them to get any better.
