I think UGA's defense is legit. I think that defense is good enough to hang with most anyone. I'm not sold on our o-line, though they look way better than last year. We couldn't run the dang ball on Nichols last year, and we are doing a pretty good job of it now, but UGA AIN'T PLAYED NOBODY so I don't know how good it is. If our offense can keep being solid enough, our defense will win us games. It is actually a very Saban like mentality, and it is fine with me as long as it keeps working. I love that we are top 10, but still feel the hype is too much.

Chieves posted:My thoughts exactly, but Auburn is the only other team in that garbage conference with a pulse. Auburn hasn't done anything to not be a top 25 team at this point, I guess the worst thing is not housing Mercer like they should in a letdown game after hanging tough with what appears to be another top 5 Clemson team. We say this every year but polls should be banned until at least October, that way you have to actually decide if you think Florida is a top 25 team after watching them and not just "do I have enough evidence to drop them out of the top 25?" every week when they look like poo poo but win.

I legit think Wisconsin was the straw that broke the camel's back in regards to the public at large's opinion on LSU. LSU was coming in at #5, Badgers unranked, and guess what, Wisconsin won (mind you, a virtual home game). It all went downhill from there. The spiral may have started before then, but we sure as hell stuffed any attempt at getting out of it.

So, 7 coaches Rick Trickett has to go because this is really starting to be a safety issue pillsburysoldier fucked around with this message at 05:47 on Oct 1, 2017 |

[quote="“iospace”" post="“476935489”"] Ok, serious talk for a moment. I legit think Wisconsin was the straw that broke the camel’s back in regards to the public at large’s opinion on LSU. LSU was coming in at #5, Badgers unranked, and guess what, Wisconsin won (mind you, a virtual home game). It all went downhill from there. The spiral may have started before then, but we sure as hell stuffed any attempt at getting out of it. [/quote] I mean, the actual last straw was the Auburn game, after which he was immediately fired. Even if LSU had beaten Wiscy Miles would have likely ended up fired that season. He was all but fired the previous season but A&M is rear end and let him pull out a win to end the year.

Go Tigers After the first few series I really didn't see a way that VT could come out on top barring some extreme gently caress-upery by Clemson. Glad it didn't happen. Really just happy by how everyone played tonight. Thinking about it, I think the only sub-par performance tonight was by our punter. Even then it wasn't terrible, dude was just popping up super short tonight.

SamuraiFoochs posted:Do you mean Jimbo, or coordinators? If you want Jimbo fired you are high off your own farts. To be fair, every week the gap between Clemson and them grows and they can't afford to sit around waiting for the coaches to magically get better like players do. They're in an arms race and they're starting to lose badly.

I wonder what percentage of fired coaches are fired not because they themselves are bad at the job, but because their coordinators suck and they're too loyal to them to find new ones? He wasn't fired but Bill freaking Snyder was kind of 'convinced' to retire at one point because of that. I'd think Les Miles might fit into this category too.

Miles specifically couldn't get LSU out of an offensive quagmire over multiple coordinators. He was especially bad at fielding competent QBs. That was pretty much his undoing.

They're in an arms race and they're starting to lose badly. Years ago, early on, Jimbo wanted to have a policy of cycling some coaches in some places, maybe a coordinator or two, every couple years so that complacency doesn't set in and new ideas and structure can be tried out, keeping what works and knowing what doesn't in some contexts. Then, the stuff happened with Jimbo's wife, Pruitt assured him he wasn't leaving and then he took a new job while Jimbo was literally on a trip with his son and didn't even tell him Prruitt was being interviewed, and some other stuff. Now, Jimbo's extremely in to loyalty, and being very positive, and has deflated a lot as a coach. To Charles Kelly's credit, he is an extremely loving and kind man. He'd be great to keep around as, say, a very niche position coach or linebacker. But he should not under any circumstances stay as coordinator. There's not much else to say about most of the other coaches except they've engendered ennui the likes of which weren't seen since Bobby's Twilight

Beamer would still be coaching if he was able to fire coaches. In principle you would take Fuente every time because he's young and the program needed a youthful reboot in many fashions but as far as "winning keeps your job" goes with a decent OC Beamer could have kept churning out Coastal titles forever as long as Foster was there.

Yeah I'd forgotten Miles did try a few different OCs, so maybe he doesn't fit. Even though you guys are probably already on the fire Coach O bandwagon (and probably rightfully) it struck me that LSU was able to complete some simple passes during that comeback attempt which is...like...somehow surprising after the last few years.

A lot of our fanbase is upset over losing but I don't know, I don't see it. I think it was fine all things considered, which is Clemson already being Clemson plus that D against our freshman QB, 1 WR, and 0 RB. I thought we played tough the whole way and got beat by a better team  It wasn't perfect but I don't know what some people expected, seems dumb.

They constantly had a top 5 or 10 strength of schedule while being forced to play against the Big 12 North from something like the late 90s to when Barnett was finally fired. I'm sure other teams did it earlier they're just the first I remember.
