Let's see, Jimbo didn't cut it. Crowton isn't cutting it. Maybe its the coach?


Exactly. What does it matter if he hires a proven OC, if he is going to constantly change the calls? He needs to either call all of the plays or none of the plays and just oversee the program (and be involved in game planning). If you are going to hire an expensive OC (proven or not), then let them coach.
Lee could benefit from Offensive Line play that gives him some time back there.

I think that JJ could also. That is the biggest problem is lack of pass protection and lack of coaches calling plays that could help this. This has been the problem for the last 2 years and they couldn't call plays that were to Lee's strength his RS freshman year.

The coaches don't do much to help a qb and when they actually do call decent plays, we either have a wr dropping passes or players getting stupid penalties.

folks, leadership 101 is the guy in charge is responsible. He makes the hires, he is the one who has failed to develop players beyond their HS skills. He is incompetent. He cannot coach here. There has been no improvement in 3 freakin' years. He has turned us into OK state.


Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!! The only thing is we have a lot more talent than Ok State.

How can you progress in your reads when you have now time to on most pass plays?

Quick update for those nuts on parade: Saban won 48 games in his first five seasons at LSU. Miles has 51. Enough said!


How can you even put something stupid like this up here? You can't compare those especially since Saban was repairing a program and Miles was just trying to keep one cruising. Compare seasons 4 and 5 when the teams were 90% of the coaches own recruits.

Also, I'm tired of hearing the RP comments. Who is the coach that kept giving him chance after chance. Obviously RP didn't respect Miles enough to know that he meant business and stop screwing up.

I hope like hell that the Tigers can turn it around this year, but I do not have enought faith in the coaching staff.

BB game on internet?

Does anyone know if the SEC tournament will be streamed on the internet? Thanks.

I always thought Brown was the Crème de la Crème of idiot coaches until Miles. But honestly they are probably on about an even keel.


I've always thought the same thing. I grew up a Texas fan and I now am a Tiger fan mostly but still love the Longhorns also. I don't think either coach is a great coach. They are good recruiters and I think that the players and luck have been on their side a whole lot.

On the clock management thing, I think that this should be compared to Miles and Flynn's time management issues in 2007 against Auburn not the Ole Miss game. If that ball would have been tipped into the air and not completed, game over and no National Championship for LSU.
quote:


Nick didn't have to do that when he came here as Dinardo had recruited well.



+1. Won the '01 SEC championship and finished 7th in the nation with about 90% Dinardo recruits. The cupboard was far from bare. Les also was met by a cup running over with talent. And guess what? If Miles left in January the new coach would drop to his knees and thank the Good Lord for the stockpile of talent. All three guys were fine recruiters FWIW.


DiNardo recruited ok as far as talent, but out of his last couple of recruiting classes only about half of the kids made it into school.
quote:

The rest is mental and blocking and reading defenses to protect your QB and technique doing those things. All Keiland ever wanted to do and all he still wants to do is just run the ball and be the greatest yard gainer in LSU history. He doesn't want to do any of those other things, I don't think. because of that, he just isn't gonna play much. It's on him. A coach doesn't let a true go-to stud waste in the stable. There is no conspiracy. Keiland is just one dimensional. The dimension is him.


If he is so one-dimensional and doesn't block, then why has he been the back that has come in on obvious passing downs this year to block. If he couldn't block pretty well, they would have left Scott in to block.

It amazes me that people continue to talk about him fumbling and him dancing around. Nintey-percent of his dancing has been because the play was obvious and the d-line busted through and he is looking for some where to go. There have been many times that he has been wrapped up 3-5 yards deep and stil gets back to the line. People that say he doesn't run hard and with power, don't watch the game very closely. I know that I'm talking a losing battle, becuase we have plenty of people on here that don't have a clue and we have a coach or two that don't want KW in the game very often. It still baffles me that KW looked very good earlier this season and practically won the Vandy game for us and everyone on here was praising him. The next week after all of the hype and questions to Les, he doesn't even get into the ULL game until the middle of the second quarter. This isn't the first time that Miles has protected a player (Scott) that he likes a lot. He did it in 2007 when RP looked good running the offense against Virginia Tech and Middle Tennessee State. After that, all he was allowed to do after that was run the ball.

With the number of backs we are looking forward to signing, should we consider Calhoun as a slot receiver? He is another athlete we need to find a way to get on the field..after his redshirt year of course


They should have been considering Richard Murphy for a receiver position for the last couple of years also.

After Miles said that and Keiland practically helped us win the Vanderbilt game, he hasn't played much at all. He was only in the ULL game maybe 2 plays in the 1st half. Makes no sense to me. Trindon is getting more snaps than him. I don't know what happened to KW at tailback and Scott at fullback. There are so many options out of that package, not to mention that you have your 2 best backs on the field more often.

I still don't know how he ran the program into the ground so quickly.




cheese fries. never getting out of the dug out to argue a call(you lose respect from players like that). and recruiting mostly high school players that were guranteed to be picked in the top 5 rounds of the draft.


Most of this was due to Turtle Thomas' recruiting style. Contrary to popular opinion, the program started sliding a couple of years before (around the time Turtle came to LSU) Smoke arrived. I don't think that Turtle and Smoke were on the same page in recruiting. Smoke is a very good baseball mind and good coach, but things didn't work out here.

re: Keiland Williams

Posted by Crazy4DaTigers on 4/22/09 at 3:07 pm to
Keiland is the best back that we have. Whenever he gets the ball 10-15 times a game he makes several big plays. For whatever reason the coaching staff doesn't like what he brings to the table in practice and he will not get many looks in the game and most of the time when he does get hot they take him out. According to Les, there is no such thing as a gamer, but Keiland, as well as Rohan Davey and several others, seems to be one. Hopefully he'll get more pt this year as he is something special.
That's great that one writer gets it, but the second writer picks Meeks. The thing that I don't understand is he says that Meeks is the most consistent scorer. How can you say that when he has 3 big games which means that he also had some bad games. Thorton is the most consistent and best all-around player in the SEC this season. Meeks may be more athletic and have better pro potential, but this year Thorton was a little better in my opinion.

Jose was a bad MoFo, remember when he beat the hell out them 3 guys at a burger king.

Both wrong. It was Church's Fried Chicken on Highland.


It's funny how stories get out and probably get changed. I heard that what actually happened was that Jose and his girlfriend went through the drive-thru and when his girlfriend smiled at the guy in the window, Jose got jealous. He pulled his vehicle over and went inside to confront the guy. The guy was about 5'7" and probably 160lbs, but was a very good HS wrestler at McKinley. He tackled Jose and beat him up some and then some his friends jumped in to kick Jose some and then everyone took off. Who knows what exactly happened, but I heard this from one of the guys that jumped in (which I think is chicken $h!t) many years ago.

Whatever happened to him? I know he went to Copiah-Lincoln JC, but can't find info after he went there.

Now that Benton isn't coming here, it pisses me off that much more that we didn't even look at Dez Bryant, who really wanted to come to LSU but we didn't look at him because of grades. It sucked because he got the grades and you could tell by his highlights that he was much better than Benton and Bajoie and had been a stud for Okla St both years. You win some and lose some when it comes to recruiting, but that one still burns my butt.
