Not buying it, 2 of those 8 incompletions were drops, and Ole Miss ranks 12th in pass defense in the SEC. They dominated us up front all game, why would it have changed in those crucial situations. If you are going to run the ball at least have some sort of deception. Hope you are right about the new guys, and did lyle hitt get injured or something, miller was playing guard alot in the second half.
Look, I've been disappointed with this season, as well, but why in the world do you feel it necessary to talk about Peveto and Mallory in such a strong way as to suggest they are "worthless"? Keep in mind that Coach Miles will have a decision to make, and it won't be an easy one. Let's not forget that these two "worthless" coaches have lives and families--and as the daughter of a coach, I don't appreciate the use of that wording to describe these two men. This is the same kind of nonsense that was said about Charlie Mac all those years ago. We, as a fanbase, were wrong for it then, and we're wrong now. Have some perspective and calm down.
im sure they are fine human beings. but as defensive coordinators, i stand by what i said. oh, and by the way, i have coaches in my family, and i have officials and umps in my family as well, just because im related to them dosent mean that if they suck everyone should be quiet because we dont want to hurt their wee little feelings. Just because you have a family does not shield you from scrutiny. Maybe i should have said worthless as defensive coordinators at LSU.
Again, let's get back to perspective. You worded your criticisms very strongly. If you have coaches in your family, then you must know that there will ALWAYS be some idiot in the stands who feels they could do an infinitely better job than your family member--but, of course, they never actually have to do that job. The same could be said here. I'm very displeased with the defense this year, but infusing your opinion with such venom is unnecessary.
I just hope and pray that Les Miles is not the next Larry Coker or Barry Switzer. I know i will get flamed for that last line but at this point i really dont care.[/quote] Coker maybe but Switzer come on.:lol: Following the 1966 season, Switzer moved to the University of Oklahoma as an assistant coach under new Head Coach and good friend Jim Mackenzie, who died of a heart attack following spring practice of 1967. Switzer continued as an assistant under former University of Houston assistant and new Oklahoma Head Coach Chuck Fairbanks. Switzer quickly made a name for himself by perfecting the Wishbone Offense and developing it into the most prolific rushing offense in college football history. Under Switzer's Wishbone, the Sooners set an NCAA rushing record of 472 yards per game in 1971 and scored over 500 points in two different seasons, 1971 and 1986. [1] When Fairbanks accepted the position of Head Coach of the New England Patriots following the 1972 season, Switzer was the obvious choice to succeed him.[2] Switzer became head coach at Oklahoma in 1973, leading the team to undefeated seasons that year and the next. Oklahoma won national championships in 1974, 1975 and 1985 under Switzer's leadership. The team won or shared in the Big 8 championship every year from 1973 to 1980. During his sixteen years as head coach at Oklahoma, his teams won eight of the thirteen post-season bowl games they played in, and 54 of his players were selected as All-Americans. In 1978 Billy Sims won the Heisman Trophy. Switzer resigned as head coach in 1989 after Oklahoma was placed on probation by the NCAA.[2] His overall record was 157-29-4. Along with Bennie Owen, Bud Wilkinson and Bob Stoops, he is one of four coaches to win over 100 games at the University of Oklahoma. No other college football program has more than 3 coaches to accomplish such a feat. Switzer was known as an outstanding recruiter of high school talent, particularly in the neighboring state of Texas. This contributed to his outstanding 9-5-2 record against the University of Texas, including a 3-0-1 record against Darrel Royal, a 3-1-1 record against Fred Akers in Akers' last 5 games, and a 2-0 mark against David McWilliams. Switzer resigned from his coaching position at Oklahoma early in 1989, with a career record of 157-29-4. His winning percentage of .837 is fourth-best all-time, and he posted remarkable records against several famous contemporaries, 12-5 against Tom Osborne, 5-3 against Jimmy Johnson, 2-0 against Bobby Bowden and 1-0 against Joe Paterno and Woody Hayes.
Don't think most feel real bad about 4 losses, it is that ever present question................is this as bad as it will get or is LSU on a rollercoaster about to leave the tracks going downhill??? Decisons after season will let us know more IMO.:geaux:
What bothers me the most is that knowing the situation this team is in QB-wise, it's Les Miles' job to make damn sure that JJ IS ready. So if he isn't ready to run the offense, who's fault is that? The 18 year old kid? Or the guy who's being given 3.8 million reasons to make sure the kid's ready?
let's be a little reasonable, dude was in high school 6 months ago now he has to face SEC defenses and just needs a little "coaching up" to do so?
