This year is a one-off

We will have a transfer QB next year

So we shouldn't judge the coaches after one game but you've already determined that Brennan will be replaced by an unknown transfer. Got it. Tons of consistency in you flawless argument.

People say stuff like "The elite programs are able to reload every year", but they don't realize that LSU has only just started recruiting at this level. Give it one or two years, and LSU will be able to reload just as the "elite" programs do. A rebuilding year will soon be a thing of the past

There's only one elite school and they're the exception.

I base my thoughts on Brennan based on the fact that he, in fact, has been in our program for 3 years. I hope I'm wrong but Burrow came because Brennan wasn't ready. It's a good story but unusual for a QB on a nationally acclaimed program to take 3 yrs to take the reigns. Again...hope i'm wrong and didn't write that to crap on him.

Why get so testy? I was expressing an amateur opinion.(like yours and 99% of all posters here). It always amuzes me at how personally people take things on here!

If Joe Burrow was forced to transfer to get on the field, it's at least reasonable to assume that Brennan isn't a "championship-level" QB.

My point is that we will soon be able to reload, we just haven't had enough elite recruiting classes in a row to do it yet. E.g. 2018 class

I totally agree but go back to an old sports cliché...It ain't about the X's and O's, it's about the Jimmys and Joes.

I think with Stingley in that game, there is there is a >50% chance we win. Even with the obviously terrible game planning/in-game adjustments, we still were a razor's edge from winning.

If our staff doesn't make marked strides going forward, I would expect CEO to be decisive and do whatever is necessary to get things rectified. He knows he won't get the "Miles treatment" and be afforded several years of mediocrity because he won't make changes when changes are needed.

It was just funny how you say give the coaches time and O will get it right. I completely agree with this sentiment btw. Anyone calling for O's head at this point is a mouth breather that can't separate immediate emotion from rational thought.

But how does Brennan not get the same benefit? He started is first game as a college QB with 8 other new starters and one of his returning starters is an average RT at his very best. Sure he looked shaky at times but he also made a few nice throws that showed flashes of his ability. He got in a decent rhythm midway through the second through the third quarter. I believe that the game will slow down for him with experience.

I also don't think that a QB taking over as a RSJR is abnormal. Before Hurts, Bama never had a QB start before they were at least a RSSO. Burrow didn't start until he was a RSJR and it seemed to work out for him. Mett didn't start until he was a junior and he was good. Flynn didn't start until he was a RSSR and he won a natty too.

Very well stated and all valid points. Again...I'm not calling for a change at QB. I think Brennan should get this year to prove himself(or at least long enough for it to become obvious one way or another).

I look at the level of QB play that are winning natty's these days and I have serious questions as to whether Myles will ever get there. He may be more than serviceable but will he be great? We'll see.

I was on record hoping for D'Erik King to come here. He's no Burrow but does have a "game-changing" skill set. Having said that...I'm a Brennan fan for this year and sincerely hope he proves me wrong!

When the season was shortened, players started opting out and the NCAA chose not to count 2020 against eligibility I said this season felt more like an exhibition than a real season.
