re: What coaching changes do you expect this year?

If they run right up the middle with Chester vs Florida's 400 lb defensive tackle and it gets stuffed, everyone here would be crucifying Sloan for not being "creativ

---

Obviously, you did NOT watch the game because LSU did exactly what I and Hester and Dickson said they should have done and those future runs went just fine. Try again, the runs up the middle WORKED and that is history! Sloan tried to be too cute...if you are a Sloan groupie, I feel sorry for your poor coaching evaluation

quote:

I too hope one of the best offensive line coaches in America is replaced. That will surely solve our problems.

---

Very good recruiter. Leaves some to be desired on the coaching front.

And if they don't work, you're whining about muh lack of creativity.

Guy, I believe you are just repeating your earlier nonsense. If you are an OC, you have to make common sense judgments during the game. I will now repeat myself. LSU was doing fine on the LOS in the Florida game. For an OC not to view the success along the LOS and instead call a play where the WRer had to run 35 yards to try to get 1 is downright STUPID! Once again, if you watched the game, you would know it was a STUPID call by Sloan. HE even realized it as the next few similar situations he did what he should have done the first time.

Here is how I know you're a low IQ fan:

LSU had 1 rushing yard when that play was called.

quote:

---

I don't know your normal IQ but you know squat about football and obviously can't discriminate between good playcalling and lousy playcalling.

---

You're right.

I don't know what looks they had, what the actual calls were, and who executed and who didn't, so it's impossible for me or anyone else here to properly evaluate playcalling.

quote:

---

The reason LSU had little rushing yards when the play was called is it was on the very first possession and had run 1 time for 1 yard...enough for a 1st down on 4th and 1 Einstein had it occured again. 

---

Exactly.

They ran up the middle and 3rd and 2, if they did that again on 4th and 1 and it fails, people like you are whining about predictable playcalling and a lack of creativity, just like the rest of the season.

quote:

---

so obviously the OL blocked well enough to allow passing to get it to that 4th and 1.

---

The OL has been fine in pass protection the majority of the year (outside of some busts right up the middle), not so much in the running game.

What you nor I have mentioned is that on that 4th and 1, Florida did NOT stack the LOS. Which is very common tactic on the 1st possession of the game when LSU was on about their own 45 yard line. Florida was almost conceding the 1st down but STUPID Sloan had to be "cute" and try a risky play with limited chance of success. LSU had no trouble running the ball against Florida averaging 5 ypc by the RBs. Once again, you know squat about football, and as I've said Hester and Dickson on their podcast couldn't believe that incompetent call.

BTW, we will continue this back and forth forever if you want. You just keep repeating the same nonsense without adding anything new. I will just keep pointing out your football ignorance and the fact that you won't admit Sloan called a STUPID play. Your choice to continue this! Go

Hindsight is 20/20, at that point in the game they had 1 carry for 1 yard.

As I've said several times, the same people criticizing Sloan for that call would have melted if they run up the middle and don't get it, you don't have to admit it but we all know it's true.

I'm not making excuses for the call, I'm just saying I understand it. This team has been stuffed trying to run up the middle and 3rd and 4th and short all year so they tried to get creative and run outside.

And regardless, the play was there, it only failed because Green didn't make his block.

This board complains about a lack of creativity and outside runs but y'all complain when they do it, the coaches can't win with our low IQ fans. Heck, you personally have trashed Blake Baker all year.

Florida was NOT known as a great defensive team...specifically about 50th against the run. Once again, it is INSANE against a mediocre defensive team NOT stacking the LOS to have a WR try to run 35 yards to gain 1. I DO complain about lack of creativity by Sloan BUT you have to judge individual situations. I have complained about NOT running screen passes enough when there are 7 at the LOS. BUT a screen pass would have been STUPID in that situation. A good coach knows when to try to be creative yet also take what the team gives you. Florida was GIVING LSU that first down because it was not critical in the game. Sloan was too clueless to take it.

BTW, I have trashed Blake Baker correctly for not being able to stop running QBs. Milroe, Reed, and others have run throught LSU like tissue paper while other teams have made adjustments to slow them down. And BTW, those teams had no better defensive players than LSU. And LSU did not rank in the top 50 defensively in the country. For the highest paid assistant coach in the country, that is ridiculous. But when you game after game can't stop a QB running down the field, you aren't going to be ranked high are you?

Blocking is going to be a factor on an end around also. You brought up the missed block on the play yourself. You just blamed the failure on the play on execution which the defenders of coaches always use as an EXCUSE. Nope, the play calling on that 4th and 1 was INSANE against a mediocre defense all season who weren't even stacking the box on the play.

And as I said before, Baker for example doesn't seem to adjust well as DC. He knew about Milroe from last season when House was DC and should have known about Reed, Sellars, etc. How you defend QBs who are poor passers but good runners is you crowd the LOS to cut off his running lanes. Once he gets past the LOS, it is too late at that point. I didn't invent that concept. I have seen other teams this season defend those running QBs that way.
