So who retains clock management responsibilities?
Too soon?
All kidding aside I think this a solid and necessary move by LSU.

The plan seems to be to pass more out of the I to empty the box, get the TE involved more, throw more downfield and pound with Copeland & Hill. I think all of that will result in less predictability.Cool. At least he's an actual offensive coordinator. I hope to see good things this year.
It does worry me that he was so predictable at Baltimore because that was one of our main problems at LSU. But if we're able to get some 3 and 4 wide receiver sets, eliminate the pass to the flat and the option play, and improve the quarterback play and awareness, then we'll be much better. Hopefully he can stabilize and improve the offense the way Chavis did with the defense.
I think Kragthorpe is probably a very good qb coach. What we need is maybe not better development with our quarterbacks but better quarterbacks to develop.
You can teach footwork some and if someone has the brains, they can learn their reads. Agility and instinct are harder to teach, guys like Manziel are born with it. Mett can get better with his pocket movement but he will always likely be relatively slow footed.
The good news is with Jennings and Rettig I think we do have better qb's to develop.

I think Mettenberger will be much better with an offensive system that gives him more options to throw to. LSU seemed to be running a lot of two receiver patterns last year meaning that if those two were not open Mettenberger held onto the ball and got sacked. He probably should have thrown it away instead many times, but he also should have been given some check down options or some more guys to throw to. Between the receivers not getting open, the limited numbers of receivers in the pattern and some below average o-line play, I don't think you can blame all of the offensive issues on Mettenberger. I expect him and the rest of the offense to be much better this year.
But, I also think the future is bright with Jennings and Rettig.
I wish we would have done more of that when we still had DeAngelo Peterson.
I can agree to an extent, but then I'm reminded of all of these same "sources" like Twitter and Tigerdroppings who have been completely full of **** and realize that any ***hole with fingers to press on a keyboard can type whatever they want.One of the most commonly used idioms is "where there is smoke there is fire".
I would probably change that to say: "Where there is smoke, fire can sometimes be found and where the smoke comes from multiple places, the more likely fire is the culprit".
Well, after I saw this thread I looked around a bit. I found plenty of places mentioning it, but none of them pointed back to anything credible. "I heard a guy" or "Blog guy at yournamehere.net" isn't credible, especially when they link back to another message board and the damn thing goes in acircle. Obvioulsy someone hears something, but this is the kind of thing one of the "legit" Twitter handles usually start talking about, especially when it's message board fodder. I just found it odd and figured I was missing something.Way too many sources are talking about Cameron to LSU for there not to be fire somewhere. I would not be shocked to learn Cameron does not end up at LSU. I would be very surprised, at this point, to find out there have not been serious discussions with Cameron.
It would certainly be a start. Looks like someone was right. I'm just curious how a legit source didn't get this and run with it earlier.Was hoping a radio announcement would be credible enough for MLU.
TD is not a source. Twitter is not a source. A source is a person and they may tweet and they may post on TD. You have to know which ones know what they're talking about and which ones are as clueless as the rest of us.I can agree to an extent, but then I'm reminded of all of these same "sources" like Twitter and Tigerdroppings who have been completely full of **** and realize that any ***hole with fingers to press on a keyboard can type whatever they want.
And saying Tigerdroppings is a source of information is like claiming that St. Louis is the source of the Mississippi River.Using Twitter and Tigerdroppings as your source is like referencing Wikipedia for a term paper.
The legit source told only a handful of people that he trusted and we didn't betray that trust by blabbing about it online until it was pretty much done. He may also have told someone like Shea Dixon or Michael Bonnette but those guys are smart enough to know not to write about it until the source says they can.It would certainly be a start. Looks like someone was right. I'm just curious how a legit source didn't get this and run with it earlier.
