I know USA Today may be a little sophisticated for you, but don't hurt yourself, its only monday.
EDIT: at $687,500 per win, that sounds like a BARGAIN!

Am I the only one that thought the season was pretty good?
Yes, and I have no idea why
I remember when LSU was turrble, to quote Mr Barkeley.
"Been down so long it looks like up to me".
They came within a whisker (bad ref call at the 1 foot line) of beating Bama and only got plain old whipped twice.
I admit I was surprised at the Arkansas game. Sad.

Why would you provide me with a link which doesn't include any head coaches, who are the highest paid on any staff?

You're right. That was silly of me to assume you can do anything on your own.
I want you to look in that right hand column where it says "staff pay total". "Total" is a word which means "an entire quantity", ie every coach on the staff.
Unless of course, you are dumb enough to assume that our coaching staff makes 5.5 mil/yr BEFORE adding in les' salary, which, judging by your posts, is not that crazy of an assumption.

it has a lot to do with it. It's a lot easier to complete passes from the shotgun. It's easier to complete passes in a 3 wr set. It's easier when you get players spread out where they are more likely to be open. It is easier when you throw more often and the recievers and QB's are ging to get into some type of rythym with it. There is a reason high volume passing teams throw from the spread. If it was as easy to throw from the I , they would run the I.

When jimbo left and we had a decent QB we did fine. Until we had to go to a freshman for our QB, that's when things went bad and haven't fully recovered since. Mett helped and now that we have Cam the talent has risen, now they have to mature. Let's see how Mr. Jimbo does with out Mr. Winston this year??? Bet the transition isn't easy!! It takes time to get that position with quality depth, where when one guy is done the next one is ready to go and can play as well as the last guy. Once Harris gets going I believe Cam will keep the depth up and keep recruiting the best prospects for LSU to succeed.

the reason more pro teams are lining up and running more spread formations and less I formations is that it is easier to throw from it. You have more chance of completing the pass.

It is also easier to throw when you don't suck.
remember the TD pass to diarse in the bowl game? Yeah it was a TD pass but diarse had to stop, come back to the ball, and make the catch instead of being hit in stride when he was WIDE THE FRICK OPEN

Diarse was so wide open due to how AJ sold the fake run, just something to consider. True nobody was within 20 yards of Diarse, and I am sure AJ did not want to over throw him, sometimes those are the hardest throws to make when the WR is THAT open.

Our two coordinators alone made $2.6 million last year. Put down the keyboard before you hurt yourself.

yes your like a lot of other fans who say the same thing. Do our recievers suck also? They dropped a lot of balls, weren't very good at getting off the line, and had trouble getting open. Seems we always have a lot of players who just suck.

good god youre right, I didn't want to believe it because that means LSU just paid over 1 million dollars per win. That is literally, incredible.
Posted on 2/23/15 at 5:47 pm to boxcar willie
They dropped a lot of balls
This is getting fricking out of hand. There were like 5 dropped passes ALL SEASON and 3 of them happened to be in the same game and suddenly our receivers can't catch.
Probably because they are so used to having terrible passes thrown their way they are literally amazed to have a ball hit them in the target.

So anything short of an 11-win season every season is a failure? Seriously, typing is hazardous to your health.

Harris should be better

If we are going to pay top dollar, then why should we expect anything less than top results?
Maybe I should be like you and be complacent with 8-5. Life is so much easier when you lower the bar.

Having a QB who can sell a run is negated if the QB cannot make an accurate throw. And before you say "well it was accurate THAT time lulz" that was literally the minority of his passes.

And I'd say LSU just had 3 of the worst losses in the Miles era, in the same season.
