I think ‘14 was the least talented team of all Les Miles tenure. ‘08 wasn’t great either, but I think they had more studs on defense.

Legit answer. Had no business being an OC at this level. He was a Dinardo yes man. Dinardo thought he could turn things around all by himself.

McConnell went on to coach high school ball for a few years after the staff was fired and was out of football altogether not long after.

Because Les let him and JJ take the fall for his stoopid pound and punt offense.

Les Miles
Fact is, if you look back to the 2018 or 2019 LSU Media guide, Miles pretty much owned the LSU Offensive record book with 3 and 4 of his teams placing top 5 all time rushing, passing and scoring.
Amazingly the D tRant always discusses, had little representation in record book.

The guy from the 1999 season. DiNardo moving him from WR coach to offensive coordinator pretty much sealed DiNardo's fate.

In the Interception Game, Auburn only had 16 total yards of offense in the second half. Auburn entered the fourth quarter trailing, 20-9. LSU then kicked a field goal early to go up by 14 points.

After getting the ball back with 13:13 left and a two-touchdown lead, LSU’s final six possessions went something like this:

Interception, returned by Auburn’s Ken Alvis for a touchdown
Interception, returned by Auburn’s Fred Smith for a touchdown
Field goal
Interception, returned by Auburn’s Brian Robinson for a touchdown
Interception
Interception

Lynn Amadee is reported to have said that Jamie Howard would not have thrown so many interceptions if Jamie would have stopped throwing the ball.

Dear Lynn fricking Amadee, if you don't want your QB to throw interceptions, if you want him to stop throwing the ball, then STOP CALLING PASS PLAYS. You're the adult calling the plays. Don't blame the kid for passing on pass plays that you call.

LSU threw the ball 17 times and ran it only 10 times after taking a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter.

Five interceptions on 17 pass attempts sucks arse, so why in the frick did Lynn fricking Amadee keep calling pass plays?!?!

For example, despite Auburn having zero timeouts and having already thrown four interceptions, LSU called a pass play on third-and-4 with a little more than two minutes remaining.

A first down would have effectively ended the game for LSU, and LSU had rushed for four yards two plays earlier. However, LSU dialed up a pass, and Auburn recorded pick-six No. 3.

Lynn left LSU to be the head coach at New Iberia Senior High.

Has a RB by the name of Mark Roman. You might know the name.

Pretty sure they ran the ball about 45 times a game while Amadee was there.

This is the truth. Cameron refused to bring our offense to the modern play. With the athletes we had in 14-18, it’s pathetic we weren’t better.

I can’t believe there was 9-10 replies before this was mentioned. This is the only answer.

Peetz and Daronte were both not horrible. That year was all down to O and his terrible recruiting
