I'm with you bro. I really wish people would stop with the "winning season's" ... first loss in so many games ... stuff. None of last year, or the years before this year apply. This is a different team. When you look at this team, it is apparent that we will not get by on Defense alone, like we've done the last 2 years. IMO, the reason for that is because we are not producing anything on offense. I don't want to fire CLM. Don't even think we need to fire Studs or Krags. We just need these guys to take a look at what they have and play to its strengths. OF course, there is nothing they can do about receivers dropping passes .... other than replace those players with ones who are better at catching the ball. Krags needs to coach up Mett better on pressure. I think Mett can be special if he gets the confidence he needs to play his best. That will involve receivers making catches ... maybe even a few of those "spectacular" catches. Those are what give a QB the confidence that if he's a little off, his receiver will make up the difference.
No, we don't have to hope for a complete meltdown, but if we lose 3 or 4 games, which is looking more than possible, an OC change will occur. Miles has done this in the past, and he will do it again this year.
We don't need wrs or a qb. We need a coaching philosophy that fosters a successful passing game. How many years and ocs must we go through before its obvious even to les miles that a a qbs confidence is only developed in game situations not practice reports. I was very critical of mett and his false bravado prior to his lack of game performance but this is mostly on the coaching for not having him game ready after the 5 preseason games. Not many big time schools get that luxury yet here we are. It's become obvious that jordan Jefferson wasn't the biggest problem. Hell we sat lee when the kid had finally established confidence and timing with the wrs. We are anti passing and qbs. Sure we can recruit another 5 star wr and qb but what would really change? Little to nothing until the philosophy from the hc changes. And it only does so after we lose and it's temporary. Now that the talent has leveled out on offense we can't line up and dominate upfront against the better teams. Hell we couldn't block Towson state. We were supposed to have the deepest and talented oline in lsu history with a hc and oc both offensive linemen. Yet we cant block anyone. USCe looks like we are supposed to. Dominating upfront with lattimore and mett will need acadian ambulance on standby with clowney and Davis. Our backup qb will be forced to play.. Whoever that actually is. I. Guess rivers.
Sure you are not stupid enough to think that Miles is going to come out and say he is firing the OC now, but is going to wait until the season is over. Surely you can understand this "coach speak".
What do you want him to fix? All you turds keep saying is a new OC. Thats ALL YALL SAY. We have had 3 new OC's in 3 years. 3...... WHAT THE PHUCK MORE DO YOU WANT? FIRE THEM NOW?
Spot on! In the NFL, yes, expect players to adjust to the play book. But in college, you adjust your play calling to match your strength! If your O-Line is injured, banged up, and young... You don't put your stone legged QB under center if you want time to pass. You put him in shotgun so he can see more. If your #1 back goes down to injury, you don't divide his carries to three back ups, you feed the #2. If you have a WR who can't catch, he plays ST only! If you want to run the option and the read, put in a QB with wheels(or run the wildcat like every other team with a pocket passer does) if you have a QB with a cannon, use it and stretch the field.
Even though it's coming, and make no mistake it is rolling in like a runaway train, we can't fire the moron. He has a titanium contract and will plant this thing right into the crapper before it is all said and done.
Our first drive was 8 passes and 3 runs. What more do you want if players don't step the phuck up? We run a balanced attack 50% pass 50% run.. Go look at the past NC champs and see their spread. I am not even saying the play calling is perfect, but shit, it is very clear we are calling more pass plays but not a damn WR can be trusted. TO add, Mett can't hang on to the ball for chit. Many of you lack any intelligence on the entire scope of things. You actually think Miles doesn't have a clue to what the problem is? I mean, we averaged over 38 points a game last year doing the EXACT same thing Bama did. The problem was a mixture of a half retarded QB and a Coach who refused to change. SO no, I don't love the chit out of Miles, but I am not a dumbass who thinks anyone is getting fired after 2 losses in 20 games. You are high if you think any of this will happen. You are also borderline a dumbass if you think anyone will be fired mid stride. Ya'll keep saying you just want shit fixed? WTF would you change, add some crossing routes so your stone hand WRs wont catch them anyway? Seriously, our Players just ARENT THAT GOOD.
