Coaching= (in order) 1)establish culture, 2)develop players 3)pregame strategy 4)in game adjustments.

We over relied on portal and didnt develop players. Metric is simple: after x amount of time are you bigger stronger faster quicker smarter more skilled.

A close second was lack of elite pregame strategy. Bc we didnt develop players, we truly didn't know what we had and we didnt know what we were going against. Jayden Daniel's Heisman year he was so good we were less than 10 third down stops over 3 loses from being undefeated. Other than that, utter coaching failures
Saw him yesterday at Perkins Rowe. Scotty lost a LOT of weight. Also didnt realize how short he is.
Saw Woodward in Perkins Rowe new years eve. He lost a LOT of weight. By golly that man is also VERY short.
1,000% fishy. Lane leaving OM during a playoff run or doing something to hurt their playoff run is easily 20X worse than how he left Tenn, and in doing so that bad energy follows him a la USC, to his next job. If an agent gets an offer from an outside school to make his client the highest paid coach, the agent--sadly--must do whatever it takes to create a bidding war. And poor us, after Herman and Riley, im afraid we're being used again.

aTm and Ms State do it right. Granted both are college towns and better infrastructure but most park all over town or in case of gigantic aTm, all over campus and everyone rides busses close to stadium. At Ms State their shuttle take you from 10 feet outside the stadium to points all over Starkville. Assign designated parking spots and drop off pick up points off campus, shuttle people who are typically walking 30 mins to free parking anyway.
Went to bama game 2 years ago thinking they'd have the same cultural atmosphere as we have. Nope. Massively overrated. Games at Bama is like attending an NFL game, as everyone is there just for the in game experience.
I attended the walk out march/protest/BLM rally that the football participated in in 2020 at the height of all this so called dissension. (Note: im a black man). It was an absolute joke. Those kids had a platform and political cover to talk about any racial grievances or all that RC had just mentioned in that video. Did they? No.

They had invited students, alumni and faculty from Southern University to join and the open mic immediately turned into a grievance fest....BETWEEN BLACK LSU STUDENTS VS SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS. The only critique remotely close to white people, LSU, police or any powers that be was when some young lady got on the mic and quipped how no one at LSU ventures past wienerschnizel off campus.

I stood within earshot of the players and oooohweee the gossip I heard. That's hearsay and messy, but the biggest thing I remember from them was their level of disinterest and how Southern Labs finest Kardell Thomas had a puppy he was passing around to all the ladies.

This was the start of an incredible politicalization of LSU football. I personally believe it cost Coach O his job. RC knows its true bc it took him 5 years and Fehoko to admit it.
Omar and Brother Mouzone came together to kill the guy (Stringer Bell) who tried to get them to kill each other. Tate is saying Woodward is Stringer Bell, whom i believe fired O for political reasons and preemptively fired BK for political reasons (to save his job) where the latter has massively backfired (BK deserved to be fired).

Ryan Clark will be the next coach at SU. Don't kill the messenger.
The venue will mostly be safe. If you ever went to a Pelicans game when Golden St or a LeBron team was in town the security measures were much different.

The issues will be CBD, French Quarter, Canal street after the show is over. It is a 100% certainty violence will occur. Book it.
Im not whining about my game experiences from 04-06. After all I've never stopped going to games. My m.o. when attending any game is any sport is as follows: if I see a visiting fan in say welcome to baton rouge, I speak and say hello to anyone im sitting or standing next to, and whatever positive commraderie people offer--high fives, conversation, etc-- I meet it and return it. That strategy has served me well as a tiger and sports fan (and in life, I suppose).

But to answer your question, I never characterized any experience as racist. By the luck of the draw I didnt have friendly fellow fans my first few years. Boo hoo, it didnt stop me and im glad it didnt. I brought it up to illustrate that race alone isn't the issue, even when your experience doesn't go how you expect it.
I'll clarify what I said. I started off by stating racial undertones as obviously this is a conversation ripe with racial elements. I stated that since 2007 I've had no issues whatsoever along racial lines (and most lines) when attending games at TS. The first few years of attending games i was always questioned as to how and where I got my tickets and the same level of conversation and commraderie I've experienced for almost 20 years now I didnt experience then. I didnt say it was racist, just that the comfort I feel now I didnt feel then, circa 04-06

Follow-up: shootings explained

To start, more context (long and anecdotal so bear with me). First, racial undertones. As I stated in previous post im a 42, black male and have been attending games in TS as a loyal tiger fan since '04--first game was vs Ark State that year. The first few years wasn't comfortable, nothing overtly racist but not that welcoming. But I can say assuredly that since '07 i have had nothing but 100% positive experiences as a tiger fan in TS with other all other tiger fans. Yes folks that includes *gasps* all the white ones in the majority. Im willing to bet all white tiger fans can come close to saying the same thing about black tiger fans who they encounter at the games in TS and even especially at road games. The only cultural issues one experiences in the games are typically due to vulgarities and excessive drinking and in my experience that's all been white vs white. Paying customers inside the stadium and further deep on campus tailgating--of all stripes--adhere to the family oriented standards where the inherent default position for *sober* behavior is nothing illegal, endangering a child/anything you wouldn't want a child to do, or disruptive to the goings on. Process of elimination, part 1: paying customers of all backgrounds are NOT the issue, and LSU protects the ones who spend at games or on campus first.

The majority of years I've attended home games i would park by McKinley High, just as a quick way to head back to north to Zachary. The McFadden Arkansas post game traffic way back when was absolutely the worst traffic ever, even worse than LSU-SU from free levee lots. Anyway, in all the years I've parked there, never has that element in that area ever commandeered the Northgate area until the the last 2 home games. The elders in that area have always have been nice, never been interested in nor had any business or affiliation with LSU, for those reasons stayed away from LSU, and on game days hustled parking spots never endangering whomever parked in that area. They understood and accepted that delicate dance, where 20 years ago it was definitely rooted in race whereas now those elders dont care either, though some wear purple and gold post 2019. Process of elimination, part 2: the elders, old heads, uncs and aunts of the McKinley area--despite being behind the socioeconomic 8ball figuratively in many ways-- are NOT the issue.

So what's changed the last 2 weeks? Two rappers, Kevin Gates and Megan Thee Stallion. Per my research, I'll explain.

The overwhelming problem derives from the young women--the female YNs-- who are just a hot mess smorgasbord of emotional instability, sexual depravity and a lack of social awareness. Emphasis on the lack of social awareness, which is the root of what many are calling black fatigue. What you do at the pool party at the apartments is not what you do on a Carnival cruise. What you do at a NBA Youngboy concert isn't what you do at a community homecoming events. So on and so forth. Problem #1: these girls are being lapped and left behind by their black female counterparts. Process of elimination, part 3: LSU black female students are NOT the issue. These female YNs see their black female counterparts-- who come from good backgrounds with families who taught them and sacrificed for them to go further in life--all over social media do things and go places they cant do, so they seek to copy it. With much less resources, terrible influences and inability or unwillingness to listen, their attempts at copying their counterparts not only fails miserably but sets off a domino effect.

The rapper Megan Thee Stallion has started a trend amongst ratchet YNs where they LITERALLY, I repeat LITERALLY hike the back of their skirt up revealing their bare arse. These girls do not believe in bottoms that any inseam. What these sorority and college girls do with their game days outfits is one thing, typically over the top cute/borderline sexy costumes. Female YNs trying to up their black female counterparts engage in a race to the bottom, pun intended. Now big butts is to black women as big bewbs are to white women. Tell either that they are flat chested or butt and see what happens. Anyway, female YNs muse is Megan Thee Stallion who along with this new standard of affirming everyone has made it to where this subset of girls have no qualms about going anywhere dressed flagrantly inappropriately.

If your butt is literally out in public, if you're not concerned about the event you're now at, if at every other event you've been at dressed like this you've started a soul train twerk line in the street, LSU northgate--which is the only place where they've been socially in the area, a place where no money is needed, where their friends live close by and there's a DJ and copious amounts of weed--stood no chance. Damn you paying customers or football lovers!

These girls post EVERYTHING online, and they are all on apps sharing their locations 24/7. That's all that's needed for the rest of YNs--guys seeking to start trouble and the bulk of nonaffiliated kids who just are there to watch the free strip show--to flood the area creating a ticking time bomb. All those kids saw Kevin Gates at the UF game--a local YN hero --and the following 2 home games felt they were given permission to flood that area.

Solutions? I'll save that for another day but between my 2 posts that seems to sum up what occurred on Northgate at Highland. The commotion at the Ag center seems to be consequence of the LSU-SU, where many SU tailgated at the Ag center and a big subset seem to still congregate there still as a result

Context: 42 yr old black man, attending LSU games regularly since '04, two daughters in college, one in band at Alcorn (where a murder occurred yesterday) other at Southern Miss. Games attended this year: Miss St @ USM, Alcorn @ Miss St, and LSU home games vs La Tech, Southeastern, and USC. Always would park in free lots by Alex Box but last 2 games parked by McKinley High for quick exit north. Ok, insightful blacksplain'....

LSU Northgate cant be saved. Shooting aside (I left game early after getting notified about Alcorn), its become the focal point of what we call YNs, who just show up anywhere where there isn't a paywall barrier of entry, smoke, loiter, be insanely loud and not care about the strain they put on others or the event. These YNs are NOT students.

The problem started after the Southeastern game. Northgate merchants allowed 2 smoke shops to come to that area. After that game, one smoke shop--the one essentially by Chiptotle--had a DJ outside which created a free block party scene in the street. YNs said, "duly noted, we will be back" and such enough, they were.
A funny irony: SU has successfully managed to keep this crowd away bc tailgating at SU is well organized now for old folks and there are not tikytok instagramable locales just outside SU campus for them to meet up (homecoming next week may change that).

Going through an insane college admission process for 2 girls at the same time (literally visited every SEC school) i understand what's going on in that area of northgate-highland. Kids are preferring to stay on campus longer, as evident with LSU running out of housing, and now off campus housing is now being forced to rent to anybody for the sake of occupancy. Northgate along highland, whether the old older houses or newer complexes have always mostly been college kids, regardless of race, who adhere to a college culture or ethic. Not anymore. Tigerland section 8 inhabitants migrated. This dynamic plus smoke shops has now made that area the new NoGo (north of government) at least during game days, where girls need to dress inappropriately and dudes need to get high and loiter. It will get worse bc these YNs have no other option.

The shootings at all these places and the degradation of culture is just uncontrollable YNs...and black folks know it bc we came up with the term and definition ourselves. It isn't students nor is it families or paying adults who all seek to contribute to the reason why we are all there. There are some exceptions. The LSU-SU game was just a logistics clusterfrick and though there was an insanely amount of weed smoke that day, it sure wasn't as bad as last night. The following year Grambling game was no issues, whereas their fan base is much older, conservative and rural.

If we fire O, who can we afford having to pay 2 buyouts? What elite coach can you say would be willing to live in BR? I'm sure you expect to win now, are you willing to hire a young coach and give him 3 to 5 years, a la Dabo when he was hired? We have 2 options: ride out with O for at least another year or find an experienced great coach on the cheap who is willing to live and work in BR. Suggestions?

re: *cough* Hugh Freeze

Posted by keepitrealgoeswrong on 10/1/17 at 11:26 am to
Again look at the merits. What elite coach will realistically move to BR? How deep are our pockets to pay, say a Jimbo or a Fedora, to make at best a lateral move? Either we stick with O for both of those reasons for another year or two, or realize we have few options in hiring a new coach. This ain't Austin or So Cal or South Bend

*cough* Hugh Freeze

I'm gonna get killed for this but then again 11 days ago I got killed for a post (signs aka facts point to a collapse) which was 100% correct. If a star player had the you know what to post a pic of a potential violation (yall know the pic) and we are switching a stud player to yet another position that doesn't make sense, it shows our head coach doesn't have control of the program and sooner rather than later, players will quit. They quit, truth be told, last week.

Anyway, we have very few options for a coaching hire. Elite coaches simply will not come to Baton Rouge. Herman would rather live in Austin and lose than live in Baton Rouge and win. Same with Chip Kelly and Bristol CT. We are an elite program with expectations to win now, so taking a chance on a young coach--like the Troy coach--ain't happening. And most good coaches now see LSU as a lateral move for which you could only entice them away by massively overpaying them. The best option to take over after O is Hugh Freeze.

He will be cheap. He would be willing to live in Baton Rouge. And after his disgraceful exit from Ole Miss he will be under such an intensive microscope he wouldn't dare to do anything wrong. If we are talking pure Xs and Os, he is top caliber. The only other coach out there is Lane Kiffin.
Sorry to burst your (and others) bubble but I'm not a troll. 34 years old, 25 years following lsu since my older brother at the time enrolled as a student. Been reading the boards here only during games for about 2 years. Created an account after the spring game with a prediction about Lindsey Scott, which was proven right. First I visited this site since was in superdome, game 1, seeking to see if others felt Guice had a ton of carries first half as I thought. Had my first road SEC experience in Starkville, for which I tried to recover my old account for which I literally posted once about and couldn't so I created this new one. My first post was one that divided blame but was more optimistic, even stating that I felt O was smart enough to know he had to make changes. Then came yesterday where our star RB flexing with a Range Rover and we experimenting with an elite athlete. So I started this thread for obvious reasons. So sorry to disappoint but not a troll.
Some players are just better than others. Some players need reps in practice and meaningful ones in game to develop further to close talent gaps. Paris, Battle and others simply didn't have reps the past couple years behind Jamal Adams and Ricky Jefferson. Sometimes a 5 Star freshman can come in and be better than established players.

Perfect example: Jai Eugene. He was terrible and for the longest Les Miles refused to bench him. It took him getting LIT up by AJ Green of UGA for them to say "hey I know he's a freshman but let's start Patrick Peterson". Is that not a true story? Name one day in which Jai Eugene was ever better than Patrick Peterson?

The safeties who played thus far has had a shot. No matter what they say on twitter, game film don't lie.
Yes I would rather play 2 stud freshmen over Paris. Ed Paris played terrible. Grant Delpit is the only safety who deserves guaranteed playing time.
