I never said anything about him being an OL coach. Learn how to read and get back to me!
It's not the responsibility of O to babysit another grown arse man! Apparently, you did not attend college because you clearly don't know how the academic process works! You're the problem with college football because you put these players on a pedestal and think the world should bow to their every need. Emery is a grown arse man and is totally responsibility for his own classes! However, if you want to contact Emery and tell him you will wipe his arse every time he goes to the restroom, you go right ahead! I prefer to treat him like the grown arse man he is!
I totally agree with you! Just because someone doesn't share your opinion doesn't mean they're an idiot. It means they have a different opinion. You seem to call everyone on here an idiot that doesn't agree with you which speaks for itself. Grow up and be a big boy and understand it's okay to have differing opinions! Do you work for CNN...never mind!
My biggest problem with Aranda was he allowed teams to dictate to us, which allowed most teams to drive down the field in scoring position. My biggest problem with Aranda came during the Alabama game. After we score, Aranda leaves Stingley one-on-one to cover Smith and no help over the top. Alabama immediately notices it and throws right over the top for a touchdown. No way Stingley should have been left on an island by himself against the best WR in the country and Aranda didn't make the adjustment.
I understand what you're saying, but I'm hoping O can turn it around. Our recruiting has never been better, but our coaching has never been worse. I think O knows this year is a make or break year for him, so time will tell. I agree with you that I would take Aranda back as a coordinator, not a head coach.
I'm not embarrassed to admit that I was not an Aranda fan and was elated to see him move on. However, after the past 12 months, I'm here to admit I was wrong and would even kick in a few bucks for a "Go Fund Me" account to bring him back! Yes, things have gotten that bad!

Aranda drove me crazy with his bend but don't break defense, but I would take that approach anytime to our current two-hand touch scheme we are currently running. It's plain torture to watch our defense because you know the big play is coming and it always does.

After 2019, I understood we would see a drop off on defense with the NFL draft, transfers and Covid, but I never expected we would fall completely to the bottom of the canyon.

I know Baylor had a tough year last year (2-7), so Aranda if you're listening, I think I speak for most LSU fans in saying, you have an open invitation to return anytime!
The buck stops with O when it comes to football! Not academics! Anyone who has attended college knows the student is responsible for scheduling their own classes. Yes, there are academic advisors but the student in the end makes the final decision.

Fans need to quit making excuses for these players! Believe it or not, this may be what saves Emery's life. These players need to learn that they are responsible for their own actions and the consequences that follow. Incidents like this hopefully will make them realize that the days of people wiping their arse and tucking in bed at night are over.

Emery isn't the first and won't be the last student to screw up in college and have to face some tough consequences!

Max no doubt. The problem is not the QB, but the crappy OL he has in front of him. Put Trevor Lawrence or Tua back there and you will see the same results. Just as the RBs who are getting killed because our OL are not SEC caliber!
I know exactly how it works! Emery is a normal college student when it comes to academics, period!
Coach O is a football coach and deserves to be criticized when it comes to football, but he's not an academic advisor! Period! Emery has no one to blame except himself!

Go talk to the other millions of college students across the country that get no academic advice and take all the right classes and graduate just fine! I received my bachelors and masters degree without someone holding my hand. It's called being an adult.

Just because Emery is a football player doesn't mean the athletics department has to wipe his arse, tuck him in at night and make sure he takes the right classes. Quit pampering these guys and let them grow up like a normal college student!
I understand we're running shorter routes, but that was our bread and butter in 2019. I can still remember Burrow connecting with Jefferson on a quick slant over the middle. Jefferson was so successful because when he lined up in the slot he could utilized his speed and quickness to create separation. Also by lining up inside, often times it forced the opposing team to put a LB on Jefferson and that created a huge advantage for LSU. Our young receivers need to learn how to create space to help take pressure off of Johnson.
The entire defense should have been at the goal line to make sure no one was getting in! That's just poor coaching!
It's easy to blame the QB and OL for bad passes, but part of that is because the WRs are getting no separation. We have tons of speed at WR, but they rarely get separation which forces the QB to throw is some really tight spaces. With an atrocious OL and a young QB, the WRs have to create space and have to learn to work back towards the ball when a play breaks down. It's so frustrating watching teams with half the WR talent totally destroy opposing defenses week after week.
Maybe that's exactly what LSU needs to get its head out of its arse! Sometimes being taken behind the shed and receiving a good arse-whooping is exactly what the doctor ordered. I know as a child, it got my attention!
I would call that a win for the fans. Our OL is not an SEC-caliber unit, so let's see what the others can bring to the table.
I've worked with Guilbeau and he's one of the best reporters you're going to find. He loves LSU, but he's also an old school reporter. He doesn't let his personal opinion affect his reporting, which means he's not going to be a cheerleader and he's going to stick to the facts!

Too many fans want the reporters covering their team to be fans also, but that's not true journalism. All you have to do is look at the election and all the liberals putting out lies just to support an agenda. Guilbeau has one agenda and that's to report the facts like it or not!

BTW, if you met Guilbeau and got to know him, you would love hanging around him. He's down to earth and has a dry sense of humor, but he's hilarious at the same time!
What does O in bed with a blonde have anything to do with his buyout? He's a single guy enjoying his spare time. IMO that has no impact on his buyout because that is his personal life that he can live as he sees fit.
I totally agree that we probably go after some players that have no desire to come to LSU, but how does this continue to happen year after year? It would seem that somebody on the staff would recognize that we need to change direction in our recruiting of OL.

My biggest gripe is our OL talent isn't near the level of other top-level SEC teams and that's just a recipe for disaster. The new OL coach was quoted as saying his biggest disappointment this past weekend was that the OL "wasn't aggressive"! WTF! If this veteran OL group doesn't realize the level of aggression that is needed to win every Saturday at this point, they need to all be benched!
It makes you wonder who is exactly responsible for identifying OL talent. Thomas came to LSU with his 5-star ranking and has been nothing but a complete bust. I realize he's had a couple of injuries, but even without the injuries the general consensus has been that he was way over hyped and not nearly as good as advertised.

I realize LSU's OL was named the best in the country in 2019, but that was lightning in a bottle, not a normal occurrence. I don't understand how a powerhouse like LSU can't land top level offensive linemen every year. It would seem LSU would be an offensive lineman's dream spot to play in front of the loudest and more rabid fans in country. It's also worth mentioning the food is world class!

So what's the deal? Do we not have coaches that know how to pick out great OL talent or is LSU always going to be a school known for landing great athletes and average to below average OL? Is OL not a priority in recruiting?

I'm not necessarily talking about landing just 5-stars, but landing solid OL that can compete at the SEC level. The player from Harvard is a great example. Great kid, very smart, but nowhere near the SEC level but we take him any way!

Just very frustrated to see the same cycle repeat itself year after year and watch very talented LSU teams fall short of winning the SEC and making the playoffs because of piss-poor OL play!
Being a HC of a major football program is a huge job. I would assume he's helping manage the day to day running of the program. We only see Coach O when he's in front of the game or coaching on Saturday, but that job is extremely stressful with long hours and that's not even counting dealing with the media, boosters and recruiting. It's easy to criticize a coach when we've never walked in their shoes!
