Which of the following recruits might the recent hires have impact?
Posted by purpleandau on 1/15/15 at 11:27 am
I don't post here much, but follow the board closely. Here's a list of targets with whom we are still in the running. I'm just wondering if the new hires might help us just enough to garner a commitment.
Daylon Mack: I know he de-committed from aTm, but would be surprised if he didn't wind up there. Is there any way Coach O could pull this one out? We need some d tackles badly.
CeCe Jefferson: He's not a defensive tackle, and frankly he's light in the saddle, even for a defensive end, but has the frame to put on some weight. Before you people who know everything start to lamb baste me, I know Barkevious Mingo, and Danielle Hunter were pretty effective pass rushers, but were pushed around by physical offensive lines like those from Bama and Auburn. We need to start recruiting heavier DE's. With the hires Auburn made, keeping him away from there would be a huge win for LSU.
Donte Jackson: I know he has scheduled to announce next Wednesday. I feel like he's a must get. Sort of like Landon Collins was a few years ago. I looked back at some of the other threads, and all seem to indicate he's a solid LSU lean, but what are the chances he heads elsewhere?
Prince Tega: Again, a light DE, but he's 6'8" He could put on 50 pounds easy. It might make him a step or two slower, but he would be a beast. Any way we steal him from the Alabama teams. Again, keeping him off of the Auburn team would be a bonus.
Thoughts?

I know nothing about Steele, but weren't we all laughng at Saban last year

When he hired Lane Kiffin?
I asked the question last year when Saban hired Kiffin...What does Saban know that the rest of the college football world doesn't about Lane Kiffin.
I am past ready for Miles to move on, but no one knows how this plays out. We have no choice but to wait and see.

dat defense doe
If we could have made any stops on 3rd down, we prolly would have went 11-1. We couldn't get off the field against Ole Miss or Georgia.

With Mettenberger, OBJ, Landry, Hill, LC, VA, EP, Copeland just on offense.
I know our defense was suspect, especially the secondary, but we should have been 11-1. Outside of Alabama, no team on our schedule should have beat us.
Yeah it's almost 2015, but I was watching the LSU-Auburn game from 2013, and it dawned on me that several of the above mentioned players, even some I didn't mention are contributing in the NFL. What gives?

My father-in-law and I go through the big games and pick winners/losers. I have to pick LSU to lose. Like..."There's no way we win this game."
Also, here's the biggie....
We take one of the games and bet a milk-shake on it. If I win the milk-shake bet, we are 3-0. When I lose the milkshake bet, we are 0-2. Incidentally, I don't bet on LSU.
This week I'm leaning toward taking KSU over TCU. Anybody got anything better?

re: What if D.B. Cooper didn't jump?

I think he prolly landed in that lake and drowned. Maybe got tangled in the parachute lined. But who's to say that part of his plan involved. I think eventually his remains will be found.
However, the guy that pulled off the same heist survived the jump and made off with half a mil. Had it not been for his idiocy he would have gotten away with it.

He was very familiar with the plane. All of his actions support the fact that he had planned the hijacking thoroughly. Maybe he discovered a place on the plane and hid. Maybe he just stayed on the plane.
What if D.B. Cooper didn't jump?

What if he used the art of misdirection to mislead the authorities? I have no basis or evidence to support this theory.
I know they found some money on the shore of a Lake in Nevada, but perhaps he threw some money out to mislead.
Just wondering.

Where to from here?

Although I'm not happy with where the program is right now, I agree a previous poster who said that Miles isn't going anywhere unless Michigan comes calling. So that begs the question...
What can we change to the current roster to turn things around this year? If anything.
Do we write this season off and start working toward making changes that will benefit us next year?
Are there changes to the roster that would result in immediate results?

Good morning all,
I've been a lurker for a while, just haven't chosen to post until now. Perhaps you'll not want me to post again.
I have a prominent role within a company out of Florida. I start a project with a particular budget, and a particular time frame for completion of said project. If, for whatever reason, I go over budget, or fail to complete a project within the window provided, there are consequences. If I have these failures more than once, I get fired because then it becomes the rule rather than the exception.
When I say, "for whatever reason", I mean...If my team fails to perform, it is not the team that is fired, it is me, because I failed to get my team prepared to complete the project on time and within budget. Furthermore, if there are particular persons who repeatedly fail to accomplish tasks to which they are assigned, it is my job to replace them with someone who can complete said tasks.
I said all that to say this...
If LSU doesn't have players, it is because Les Miles didn't get the players. If the players we have are not performing, it is because Les Miles is not preparing the players to perform. If the team is not playing well, it is because Les Miles has not coached them to play well.
Now I'm not saying whether or not to keep Les Miles, or fire him. I'm just stating a fact that some seem to over look, and that is, as my late grandfather might have said..."The Fish stinks from the Head!"
