LSU was running our system under Les Miles and look at where they are now versus then. This vanilla offensive scheme can’t produce enough scoring to keep up with the way things have changed

Ryan Day on Ohio State’s offense:
quote:

“When I go to bed at night, that’s what goes through my mind: ‘What is this going to look like?’” Day said. “‘Cause to say it’s going to look like it did last year, that’s foolish. There’s so many different bodies in there. There’s a bunch of guys we’re replacing, and new personalities with new skill sets, so how do we maximize those guys?”


We take the same offense and force the players into it then when we struggle we just keep forcing it.

Someone on the rant opined that Kirby needs to become a CEO/GM verses a “coach.” While that opinion is a grossly simple, it is in large part accurate.

As a GM Kirby could step back and analyze what is going on around him. In the modern game holding is the norm, both O line and DB. Kirby put what is probably one of his better D’s on the field this year and got torched last night largely because holding is allowed and Burrow had the ability to continue plays because of his mobility. An above average D crushed the life out of GA’s O largely because the receivers were mauled at the LOS and Fromm couldn’t make the D respect the run. Average receivers become above average when LB’s and DB’s have to account for a mobile QB.

The modern age is QB centric. Either scheme for the next evolution of the game or acknowledge what the current rules allow and recruit/coach accordingly. Otherwise, Kirby will keep getting the results we all saw last night. I’m hopeful. Kirby is still young.

We need receivers that can catch and get open and players that can execute. I was all over Coley after the ND gamw. But if you really look at the games, the players just aren't executing. I think Coley will be one of the better OC's within another year or two.

Kirby will never take responsibility. He has the offense that he deserves.

We need a better qb more than anything. The LSU offense wouldn’t be close to what it is with a guy like Fromm.

You'll get Coley and Fromm again, and the offense will still be shite.

Scheme was the issue this year only insofar as we tried to run an offense that didn't match to our offensive players strengths. What were our strengths? Our pass catching tail backs and elite offensive line. Why did we not run more tail back screens? Why not run more 2 back sets that send both RBs out on passing routes? Why not put Swift in the slot more often and get Cook in the backfield if the slot isn't a natural fit?

A bigger issue than this was the lack of preparation and execution our offense showed each week (that actually got worse towards the end of the year). Fromm's mechanics regressed considerably, many times there were miscommunication on routes by the QB/WR, drops, and general lack of player development between the front and end of the year.

Fromm, Bennett, incoming qb need to do the 10,000 catch challenge with the receivers this offseason. No more fishing. No more telling people you want to cum on snapchat. You have the rest of your life to fish. You have the rest of your life to be a creep on social media. Now is the time to pass footballs to 6'+ black dudes whenever you aren't in class, film room, weight room, or sanctioned practice. He needs at least 20 hours a week in voluntaries with the receivers from now until Fall Camp.

We don't need a new scheme.

Nah, we were trying to hide our weaknesses. Went through the conference 11-1, so it worked.

More aggravated by not planning better for WRs this season.
