No doubt he is likable. You want to pull for the nice guys like CMM. Yet what is troubling on top of the Ls piling up, is what seems like a lack of player development. Players in the program for at least 2 years like Mike Williams who contributed nicely last year hardly see the floor. Highly ranked Freshman this year have regressed in SEC play.

Agree with CJ here. Would adad TE, Edge Rushers to Safety & OL reload will be the telling story for next year. Critical we assess highly experienced NIL additions as plug & play talents to complement up and coming young talent such as DeShawn Spears and Jovian Toviano at Safety, the plethora of young but inexperienced OL talent where we have recruited well. Like our NIL adds at TE and Edge/DE.

Ed Osteen…100% concur. Happened to my home 2 years ago. Police confirmed they enter illegally through Miami on a false work visa. Very sophisticated jewelry heist ring with a very targeted process.

LSU has more than one problem, but #1 from my observations over the season is the lack of physicality of our safeties. Where are the LaRon Landry, Chad Jones type punishers? Even when our safeties are in position to make the tackle, they seem hesitant and absorb contact versus creating contact. See this time and time again by Gilbert and Ryan.

I was living in Tampa and made this Bowl Game. We played extremely well. Fun times.

Courts would approve contracts nit unlike the NFL rookie contracts. Most are 3 year contracts with both parties having 1-2 option years. In the case of college, why can’t we have a similar contractual system? After first 3 years, a player has e options, 1) enter NFL draft, 2) stay with team or 3) enter free agency (aka transfer portal) to sign with another team for a year or 2 (if they had a redshirt year

Curious to get others take on whether a 3-3-5 defense is more effectively suited for the quality and depth of our front D.
DT - Guillory backed by Lee
DEs - Takes advantage of our depth here with Jones, Swinson, Shands, and Womack
Lbs - Whitt Weeks and Greg Penn III with West Weeks backing up
Rover - Perkins is freed up to be the versatile talent opal over the field.

Sure our new coaching staff will have the right answers. This is just my perhaps uninformed take.

Complexity of scheme, if not well taught and engrained into the players minds will lead to even a split second of indecisiveness…that’s all that is required for a defense to fail. That’s what I witnessed in 2023 season. Defense has to be played with all the thinking happening pre snap…then played instinctively, fast with furious aggression…something completely lacking as a full Defensive unit this past season
