re: This MoFo getting the big boys ready to kick some butt

Well, most of that started because Ree was trying to get responses from people with saying the guy was "the best OL coach in college or pro".

The antagonists and the protagonists need to take a frickin break



It’s april for god’s sake

considering last year and his recruiting cycle it seems he is beginning to make LSU irrelevant

---

Not sure finishing 3rd in the SEC West is quite irrelevant. LSU finished behind the team that beat both teams that played for the national championship and the team that won the national championship.

Last year's recruiting cycle is much better than it appears - even by the "experts". At one time two DT's that signed with LSU were ranked as 5-stars as O-linemen. The 4-star safety that is being moved to CB was rated as a 5-star CB before switching to safety. Not to mention that the 19th ranked recruit of 23 was named to the Florida 6-A 1st team All-State squad.

If one or both of the DT's moves to O-line that would be like LSU having 3 or 4 5-stars in the 2018 class. Which would have garnered a much higher ranking. And 15th is not a bad class to start with.

Ensminger (who has been fired everywhere he’s been an OC).

Not sure if this is true. I read an article about Ensminger, Eric Zeier (who finished his college career with 67 school records and 18 Southeastern Conference records) and Garrison Hearst who said Slinger called the majority of the plays while they were there. Hearst even mentioned that when he was drafted by the 49ers that he realized he was already playing in a West Coast type offense in college.

Slinger was hired by A&M from Georgia. I think it was Slocum that said that Slinger was a great OC but they just had a misunderstanding during the hiring process. Slocum wanted a "better" passing game and Slinger took that to mean "more" passing. Slocum didn't want to get away from a mostly run oriented team and Slinger had them passing like crazy.

You do realize that his resume now includes the worst defeat in our series history with Mississippi State and a fricking LSU beat down at the hands of a SBC team in Tiger Stadium. Anyone not melting over those clusterfricks is a screw ball.

---

O being hired has demonstrated to me that a lot of people aren't too keen on facts in general.

Facts are "hating" and wishful thinking is being a true fan.

Facts are "hating" and wishful thinking is being a true fan.

When the facts are from over a decade ago, they are still facts but are they are pretty much irrelevant to the modern day.

"Wishful thinking" would be crazy if LSU fans didn't think that one of the QB's on the roster could be better than what LSU had last year.

"Wishful thinking" would be crazy if LSU fans didn't think the O-line would be better this year. Especially considering two true freshmen started pretty much every game last season and that LSU signed two of the top JUCO linemen in the nation.

"Wishful thinking" would be crazy if LSU fans didn't think the D-line would be much better this year.

"Wishful thinking" would be crazy if LSU fans didn't think the WR's would be better this year than last. LSU will have a Biletnikoff Award candidate from two seasons ago for the new QB to throw to. Not to mention the top rated WR in the nation who signed with LSU in this year's class.

"Wishful thinking" would be crazy if LSU fans didn't know that Devin White and Greedy Williams were returning after starting for the first time last season.

"Wishful thinking" would be crazy if LSU fans didn't think or know all that and more.

You’re such a fricking drama queen. You act like we only signed 10 players and none of them had any other offers but LSU. 

---

we signed 12 players outside the top 20 at their position.
bama signed 3

quote:

---

But don’t act like that class is going to sink us into oblivion. 

---

we fired the most accomplished coaches in lsu history to get better. not fpr our talent to get worse and the gap between lsu and our main sec west rivals to get bigger.

quote:

---

The one positive of O is that he will at least keep the cupboards somewhat stocked for the next guy to be named HC. 

---

he has never in his life had a top 14 class for his own program.

quote:

---

not saying that we can’t win with O as HC, I’m just saying that if all the doomsday mfers on this board are right, the next coach will have good players to work with. 

---

but behind 5 other sec programs if his recruiting doesn't get better

quote:

---

Hell since y’all like to bring up Ole Miss so much look at what happened there. O didn’t win shite but Houston Nutt still had a pretty damn good roster to work with.

---

not really. HN is just a far better coach than O. again, at no point has O ever proven to be an elite recruiter for his own program

quote:

---

LSU Patrick

---

you should be upset with Alleva.

you know youve hired a shite coach when fans are tired of having his resume brought up.


are we supposed to make up positive things O has done?


O had a top 5 class
O hired an oc that really wanted the oc job and he has been an oc every year for the last 20 years
Hey O had a SOS of #1 last year and lost 1 game

That's your opinion. The facts don't care about your opinion.

I don't know what you're trying to say with all of this rambling.

Why don't you get on the record and project what our record's going to be? You do a lot of talking for someone that won't put their money where their mouth is.

I suspect you want to leave yourself some wiggle room to blame Miles, Canada, the players or even Aranda when things don't go as you think they will.

The season ended three months ago

Exactly. People are still talking about the shite like it happened YESTERDAY

quote:

---

You don't have to be pathetic to be disappointed with the goings on with the LSU football program during our most current football season.

---

Read you stupid cocksucker, I’ve already said this - but at some point you have to let the shite go.

quote:

---

If you are not happy with discussions about the disappointments of the most current football season, take it up with Coach O. When he does better, the stuff here with get better.

---

You know that’s not right. Look at this thread (or any other one unrelated to CEO), it was a positive one that talked about how our new oline coach is getting the boys ready for the upcoming season, yet here we are 8 pages into it, shitting on O

I mean come the frick on. At some point it has to get old, right?





I know I’m on an island with my opinion, but it’s aleight
