I’ll let you know after the first 5 2nd and 10’s …….
This is the kind of thing that drives me crazy about this board.
If you throw a lot more on 1st down, you’re going to have a lot more 2nd & 10’s. That’s just math.

I still remember the A&M where every time Mason Taylor was in motion, it would be a run.
This wasn’t just the case in the A&M game, that was the case every game. You could call it out every time Taylor went in motion. Very predictable.

quote:I agree. I was all against losing Sloan when we had Bryce Underwood. His ability to attract top QBs in high school, his help in improving Jayden to what he became, and even though the run game was bland, he had a 4k passer in Nuss that he built up from high school. However, his likability as a coach hasn't allowed us to get ANY top QBs 2 years in a row even when we offer 7 figures. Yeah you could say Underwood scared off any other prospects, especially since it was last damn minute when a billionaire interjected, but what about this year? None wanted to come here? What about 2027? I know it's a year and a half out, but even the top guy in our backyard is favoring other schools over us, or so he says. Only Nuss's brother shows big time interest at this point, and that can change as well.
Let’s just say this is a big year for Sloan
LSU has more physical talent on offense than it had in 2023 and 2019. This should be a top 15 offense AT THE WORST. People keep talking OL, but those 2 OL Burrow and Daniels played behind weren't Alabama, Ohio St, or UGA elite level. We just need a competent OL.

I have been unimpressed with his ability as an OC and very impressed with his ability to coach quarterbacks. I hope they get it figured out this year.

I thought we were hoping to get a new Great OC
Not exactly. We were getting a coach to stay happy so that the QB he was recruiting would stay happy.

I stopped reading at "you guys." What LSU fan uses that term? Clearly a troll.

May not be a popular opinion but I like him as a play caller. The run game ineffectiveness is one thing but I don’t know that I put that on play calling.
Biggest issue I think last year was lack of explosiveness. I think it’s good to have a CJ Daniels or Lacy style receiver on the field, but having 2 of your main guys not being any type of deep threat gives the D such an advantage.
Look at Florida game as the perfect example. We ran 92 plays, had the ball over 41 minutes, and got 25 first downs. The fact we scored only 16 points despite such a dominant ability to maintain possession is almost impossible. If you run 92 plays on offense in a game, just by law of averages you should have at least a handful of explosive chunk plays with a few ending in 6.
That game to me really symbolized that we had a pretty good offensive scheme and play calling to control the game like that but almost no explosiveness which was a reflection of our personnel. That part looks much different going into this year, at least on paper.

Two words: Jayden Daniels
Jayden Daniels was nothing before Sloan/Denbrock/Kelly. They deserve some credit for that. With that said this is a prove it year for Sloan, and it also is for Kelly. Kelly has been very adaptive and willing to change things when they aren't working, very much opposite of Miles. He has not been scared to change up his coaching staff. However he knows this is a playoff or bust season, and he chose to retain Sloan anyway. That makes me feel optimistic

I mean it was his first year. There’s no reason to believe he won’t improve.

Not being able to run the ball when you need to (red zone, short yardage) is a big problem.
This was my complaint about him. We just had 4 OL drafted and struggled running the ball at all times, not just in running downs.
I’d like to think that it was just because of personnel, but if we had 3 NFL offensive guards in a single OL, we should have been absolute road graders

You missed the point. He didn't mean we would get a lot of 2nd and 10s. He meant we will see what happens when we do. In other words, how is his play-calling in situations when we're behind the chains.

He's a below average play caller, especially in the run game. I think everyone assumes if the Michigan recruit hadn't been involved, we would have gotten someone else to the OC.

Wrong. The two words you were looking for were Mike Denbrock.
Posted on 7/3/25 at 3:19 pm to Jamey21
I'm apprehensive. Bad assistant hires have been BK's LSU Achilles thusfar. First Polian. Then House. Then Sloan. I'm for him, but he's on the hottest coordinator seat in the SEC.

..and this wasn’t Sloan’s fault.

It was obivious he was having trouble calling the correct plays last year. Otherwise , Kelly wouldn't have had to step in and Helped him.
People blow this out of proportion; he did the same with Denbrock in 2022.

Nobody was winning it all with the center play that we had
Posted on 7/3/25 at 6:02 pm to searcyagent
Thats bs....dude had no chance with the center and then when our guards got hurt...plus they were never very good at run blocking. That isn't on Sloan.
