If I recall there was one before the 2018 season after Burrow was named the starter.

Orgeron says LSU held players-only meeting ahead of Florida

Remember last year, when we were sitting at 3-3, coming off of 2 losses to ranked opponents? Somehow we beat #20 UF & ended Dan Mullen.

Oh & that was an 11am kickoff
quote:

“[Senior linebacker] Andre Anthony had a players-only meeting on Monday,” Orgeron said in Thursday’s press conference, describing the meeting just after a loss to Kentucky. “And the team has been on fire all week. We have a saying here: next man up. And I told the team at the beginning of the year, everybody is going to have to play, everybody is going to have to be ready. So we have some guys that are eager, that were playing second-team and now are going to be playing for the Tigers. They brought some energy this week, and they’re excited about playing.”

These things likely happen weekly and aren't reported on . The QB simply pulled his receivers into a room to talk. It isn't Earth shattering.

It works every time it doesn't not work.

I agree that it won't make players more talented and it won't improve the overall scheme but if it is communication and trust issues like we are being told, a players only meeting could alleviate that.

Florida had one before the LSU game in 2003 and handed LSU their only loss of the season.

This was more like a position group meeting but plus the QB

Calling it a team meeting is misleading

“Worked” is subjective.

Daniels could take more risks on Sat, but if they dont work out for us most fans would say the meeting didnt work.

But if the point of the meeting was just Daniels telling the WR to be ready, admit openly weakness in his play to this point of the season, and promise to take more risks… and he does.. then the meeting did what it was intended for.

The meeting didnt change how much the guys want to win.

Better stated, what makes you think a players-only meeting will change how Daniels has played QB for four seasons?

He may force a few balls he wouldn't have otherwise, but I don't see the passing game getting better with him under center.

This. Not sure why this “meeting” is news. I’m sure they talk with each other everyday.

We aren't always aware of these meetings. My guess there are a lot that actually worked.
