Ben Mcdonald mentioned early in the year that it looked mechanical, front shoulder opening too early, over throwing , etc. If it is a form/technique issue, you have to raise an eyebrow at Yeskie at this point in the season

A bad defensive team can make the most average look really good on the scoreboard. The few times LSU wasn't walking batters/committing errors in the field, Vandy looked very beatable. Cowan shut them down, and it all revolved around getting ahead in the count. Same when LSU was at the plate, when Vandy couldn't throw a strike, LSU put a lot of runs on the board. It was a weekend of which the team that imploded the worst lost the game

I do agree the college system is really flawed, but most don't cheer for the team because of the player, they cheer for the player because of the team. If LSU were to sign kids only who loved LSU as much as we do, 7-6 would be a good season. Talent wins, and talent will chase money, as they always have. As Coach O said in a recent interview, the only difference now is the guy with the cash walks through the front door, instead of the back.

Saints went 7-9 for years straight with Drew Brees, then had that nuclear draft I. 2017

I agree with this. Look at how many top draft picks the Jets, Browns, Raiders had and never amounted to anything. The teams that tank for draft picks, are the same teams tanking year in and year out. Scout well, build an environment of consistency, put the right coaches in the right positions and you will have success. Oh yeah, know the shelf life of an NFL player, stopped signing old dudes to long contracts that will handicap the cap

To become Saban 2.0. You can have a good year at Ole Miss, but impossible to build a dynasty there.

Hate the way he left, but you have to appreciate him bringing a superbowl to NO. Could be another 40 years before seeing another one

Pretty common for seasoned players to pass on tells, but for a freshman to do it shows a maturity that's impressive

Unless you're in the locker room, you don't know what the leadership situation is. Season is long, every team will have its ups and downs.

Really depends on which coach O you get. Before and after 2019 were 2 different coaches. For some, Success can be a drive killer

The Billy Joe years in the 90s were pretty terrible. Especially once everyone realized Ditka wasn't the same coach he was with the bears

This is the type of thinking that will make the HC job very unattractive to legitimate candidates. Coaches want "their" guys, mostly because that is the main job of a HC. Putting the right faces in the right places to carry out a specific scheme. NO just dropped to the bottom of desirable HC jobs, and that's not including the cap he'll Mickey has put us in
