re: Why does it have to be the coaches fault? Why not blame the players?

I don't know if it is delusional thinking that LSU is superior to Arkansas or rather just arrogant.
After all, Miles' record against Arkansas is 6-5, 4-5 since 2007, and if not for two gifts (Johnson fumbling going in to the EZ in 2012 and a freshman CB biting on a double move in the final minute in 2013) Arkansas would be on a 4-0 run against LSU and Miles would be looking up at 4-7 and 2-7.
LSU squeaked by in 2009 in OT. The only time in recent history has LSU dominated the game was 2011. I would say the last two have seen LSU be dominated.

Because they are ultimately responsible for the success or failure of the program.
Why should anyone have to explain this to you?

Nice edit
Where'd you get that from? Deflection via deception?

Still waiting on your question. I'd like to answer it.

Miles can't make all the blocks for them.
Since game 7, the competition has stepped up a class and the call can't be answered by OL, IMO.
Though not elite, I didn't expect the D to have done as well this far, but without bench time from sustained drives (running), the lack of depth is showing vs power teams.

Cam is supposed to recruit the OBs and the best one he has is a guy who can't complete short passes. Look at the guy we missed out on in Mason Rudolph, who is lighting it up at Okie St.
Okay, we missed out on the kid that went to Okie St. Is that Camerons fault or is just that Okie St. was a better fit for him than LSU? Hell, next to nobody knows what is going on in these kids heads before they commit to a program. Gunner Kiel is a perfect example. 99.9% of us thought he would show up, till he announced he was going to Notre Dame.

This is the same LSU team that didn't allow a sack to Florida. This is the same team that averaged over 5 yards per carry and had 221 rush yards vs. Florida.
Yes it is. Somebody had to coach them up to perform that well against a good Florida team. If we are going to place all the blame for the poor showing the last two games on coaching, we should give the coaches the credit for having the team well prepared to play Florida.
Or, is it a combination of good coaching and good play early in the year, and poor coaching and poor play the last two games? I tend to believe the credit and the blame should be evenly distributed between the coaches and the players.

Is that the question? I didn't see it posted earlier. I do not work at LSU.

Why would I ask you anymore questions when you've pussed out of answering the three I already asked you?
Keep up babe. Or don't.

I don't claim to be an expert in X's and O's, I just know what I see on the field.
It seems to me that if the opponent has a very good defense -- good players, good coaches (Saban, Smart), and they have a pretty good idea of where you are going to try to run the ball (what holes/gaps) then, they're going to concentrate their players on those holes/gaps.
They can do that, when the opponent (Les Miles, LSU) is predictable.
One offensive lineman cannot block two, or more, defenders.
This is what I think happened in the Ala., and Ark., games. I don't think our offensive linemen were sapped of their talent, like the basketball players in "Space Jam," nor do I think they just decided to stop playing hard.

The only questions you asked were about me asking my husband if a dress makes me look fat and if you figured out this thread. I don't see any other questions.

As I suspected. Guilty of taking the pussy way out.

I'll ask you again since you didn't answer the first time, do you think having players drafted and succeed in the NFL is indicative of talent?
