    Chicken and egg kinda thing.

    I believe it's 75 percent coaching issues, 25 percent indequate players (see linebackers).

    LSU has better players than Clemson on defense.

    I don't believe the part about Swinney wanting him to be more aggressive. I think that rumor was completely made up.

    The part about VK thinking he should have been head coach, not Dabo, is one I never heard before, but it makes sense. Clemson's strengh was its D. It's O was weak. And Dabo wasn't even the OC, he was just a position coach for the OC. Why in the heck did they make him the HC? I think they did it was because he was pretty good as Recruiting Coordinator. Maybe some good ole boy thing with the administration as well.

    Our talent is definitely not better than every other school, but it is definitely better than Clemson's.

    I am going to do some research but I think I would need proof to believe that LSU has that much more superior talent that Clemson. Didn't they have Spiller and Davis and both those guys are considered better NFL prospects than any of LSU's backs. I would say all in all that Clemson and LSU have very similar athletes and so called "talent." In the south, I believe that the BCS programs have very similar athletes. I believe it is all coaching that shows the difference. Again I will have to do some research before I believe that LSU has that much more superior talent.

    I think Clemson gets some very talented individuals, but over all and especially two deep LSU blows them away as far as talent goes. That doesn't mean that the coaching staff gets them to play to that level of natural ability. LSU underachieved this year and that's putting it mildly.
