re: IMG Academy could 'destroy our profession,'
Posted by CourseyCorridor on 3/7/16 at 1:14 pm
I don't disagree with you, but if in 1987, you told me that summer league baseball would, by and large, be replaced by travel ball, I'd have made the same argument you just made. No way that many people will pay that much money so their kids can travel around and play baseball.
Except they have.

re: IMG Academy could 'destroy our profession,'

My thought is this: If IMG begins a trend, then the coach is right. And that's possible because we've seen travel ball make traditional summer league baseball obsolete, haven't we? Same thing can happen here.
It doesn't take much imagination to see how
If the "elite" players all start gravita...

Ed Paris has some Louisiana peeps too if I recall.
All that said, LSU seems to find better players elsewhere, honestly. They cut ties with Hardeman because they are enamored with the likes of Santos Ramirez and Russell Gage (oversimplification, but that's part of it). And they didn't take Adam Ta...

I used to do that kind of stuff. I found old Saturday sections from my high school glory days at mom's house a couple of years ago and enjoyed looking through them.
Funny thing was finding names of people who later became friends who I either had no idea played HS football or just had a vague not...

[quote]The love for Jennings from les will make the JJ saga seem like puppy love.[/quote]
I hate to poopoo at QB that won a bunch of games as LSU's starting QB, but I think Jennings is a much better PROSPECT than Jefferson was.
Jennings reads defenses and puts the ball on the money. ...

You really think that if you plug 12 back in the lineup in New Orleans you win the game? How about the deer-in-the-headlights look he had in Tuscaloosa?...

[quote]The entire notion that an offensive coordinator, any offensive coordinator is just left to his own devices independent of any input from anyone else on staff, much less the HC, is so far overblown. [/quote]

EA was going to add a "reality mode" for 2015 where no matter what play you call, LSU would run toss lead.
Too bad the NCAA didn't renew the license. :lol:...

[quote]One solution to that is you might try recruiting, keeping, and developing a QB so you aren't put into that position.[/quote]
I do think that's a root problem. And change "QB" to "OC" and you get a similar story. It's been musical chairs. Of course, there have been bad breaks along the way ...

I thought they threw it around a bit in 08, but they threw it to the wrong team alot.
In 09, Chavis came in and they started improving on defense.
By 2010, defense was dominant and offense started playing to that strength.
I think the defenses the last three years have been exceptional and ...

Could those four years have been about Lee and Jefferson more than Miles, Crowton, Krag and Stud?
Could the real mistake been not recruiting high-end QBs before and after Perrilloux, thus putting too many eggs in one basket?...
re: Cameron: Plays are a team call
Posted by CourseyCorridor on 8/12/13 at 12:48 pm
Here's my question:
Cameron is said to be giving more options for Mettenberger to check to. I'm assuming these include more pass options.
What happens if Mett starts checking into more passes and they are, to Cameron, the right checks, but Miles isn't liking the run-pass balance as a result?

[quote]Quick question, how much input does Les Miles give to John Chavis?[/quote]
I would imagine Les sets the tone with Chavis. Like Cameron talks about. Miles might be in his ear telling him things like "They can't stop our offense, so let's not gamble and risk giving them easy points.' Or, jus...

Is it beating it to death? I haven't seen Cameron talk about it a whole lot, not since when he got hired. Les has talked about it alot. Players too.
But it's nice to see Cameron address it and address it well.
