I take this as a good thing with all of the negativity going on around the team. http://lsu.247sports.com/Article/Th...led-a-players-only-meeting-on-Monday-31823906
You know, I manage about 350 employees, if they all got together and decided they were going to take it upon themselves to do anything I'd be in a world of shit. I think it's a great "Rah Rah go team" thing to do, but ultimately they cannot do anything if they are being taught poorly. Right now I look at Miles, Ensminger, Grimes, and Haley. Ensminger does what exactly? Coach a unit that never shows up? This is still Les Miles' offense, I don't care what anyone says, he controls the offense. Now Cameron may call the plays but you can bet this offense isn't Cam Cameron's. Brick is sinking like one, if not for Hunter, Bower, and Rasco this line would be the worst LSU has had in 20 years, and probably is anyway. I think the coaches need a come to Jesus meeting, not the players.
There are coaches-only meeting all the time. Players meetings are not about bitching about the coaches, these are not grumbling fanboys. These meetings are generally about getting their own shit together. And this teams really needs a lot of that.
sometimes its about the coaches but this one wont be directly. maybe they'll say we have to win in spite of the shitty gameplan. theres usually a problem when teams make this a habit and call one every week. those teams implode and eventually quit on the field because they are too far gone. so hopefully this doesn't become a regular thing.
I think Kelvin Sheppard called one of these after the awful Tennessee game in 2010. We got our shit together much better from that point on.
theres no saving this team unfortunately. even if jesus and vince lombardi got together and worked really hard at solving this teams problems, theres nothing they could do given the scheme we run. we and muschamp/uf are very similar. stupid coaching from top to bottom. and you cant fix stupid. last game hammered that shit home over and over into a wall of 8 defensive players down 4 scores.
