That wasn’t my point. Of course, he had to have taken at least some of the philosophy and procedures from the most successful program, where he spent several years. That’s just common sense. My point is what benefit does he get from saying that. Usually good coaches, whether we like it or not...

Who knows? He hasn’t exactly impressed with some of his in-game coaching decisions. He would have been better than Manny last year, but that’s a very low bar

I’m having a hard time understanding why Mario would even say this?

If you could only just find the right balance. Easier said than done

I guess it’s hard to go from a super fast offense, and then when you have a big lead, to dial it back to a grind it out, use up the clock offense. You just might not be physically or practice wise be set up for the latter

I’ve never bothered to sift through the data, but it sure does seem the teams that play at a breakneck pace, almost down to every single one, give up a lot of points too. I wonder if somebody’s done an analysis of this? Maybe there’s a few that have bucked this trend, but just based on my...

Huge jump is relative. I’d be willing to put a big stack most people will call it a huge jump at the end of the year, assuming we play. But I mean even middle of the road will be a huge jump don’t you think? I don’t think we have top talent on offense all around, except maybe at quarterback and...

Nothing that I disagree with here

Of course we have already enough talent to win the Coastal. And of course we don’t have enough talent to win a national championship. But we just don’t have enough talent to win much of anything, including the Coastal, with crappy coaching and bad scheming. Which we have gotten in spades since...

Plenty of people thought that Miami had defensive line talent in 2015. It’s just that it was being used improperly. We had many discussions on this board regarding that. And I don’t think anybody is arguing that our talent is not enough to create a huge jump on offense.

You’re arguing just to argue.. did you see where I posted they markedly improved on offense. That’s not even my point, which you keep missing. Once you address my actual point, regarding talent, you can proceed. The high level talent was always there for LSU, you can’t dispute that.

That literally doesn’t prove anything. Get their class rankings. And you’re making my point for me with that tiny list of Burrow, Jefferson and the rest. Good evaluations. Of course their offense improved they married talent - with a good scheme. I’m not arguing against that. I’m saying that...

But a huge piece of good talent was already there. I’m talking about a level of talent just under the Alabama’s of the world. Not even comparable to Miami. Look at LSU‘s class rankings for the last 10 years. They’ve always had a nice stable of talent, but had an awful offenses before 2019. We...

I’m not denying deployment can’t be an issue, analogous to appropriate scheming vs misuse, my base argument is that it’s actual overall talent, not development or deployment, that’s been the fundamental flaw. Since around 2004 give or take.

Does not compute for me. If they’re using players like Andre Johnson and Vince Wilfork in their analysis, you know this thing is overweighted towards the early 2000’s - that’s almost 20 years ago

I’ve seen you post this before about getting drafted below our talent, other than maybe 2-3 players over the last 10-12 years, I just don’t think I agree. I’d like to see some examples of this. O. Vernon? Who else? I think some make the argument, and have made the argument, that we’ve been...

I’m glad you’re saying this. I’ve been saying this as well for a while now, this development stuff is overrated. Yes of course there is development, techniques are taught, etc, we do need good coaches. But if you’re not starting with legit talent, whether through bullseye evaluations, or kick...

They are not. Not the type we’re discussing. Think Andre Johnson, Reggie Wayne, and Santana Moss. But I do agree that the offensuve line is also killing us. But our wide receivers are nothing special.
