Now LSU is “terrible”? Get bent.Ahead of schedule? We got boat raced by an 0-4 SEC team, UK and killed by UGA. We beat terrible lsu and MSU teams. If anything we're right where an average coach should have us. The only way we're headed in the right direction is if Mullen shakes up the staff and we start landing 4/5* studs. Hell when was our last commit for the 2019 class?
Now LSU is “terrible”? Get bent.
I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've disagreed with you, B. Yes, we looked terrible against Mizzou. However, the things you dismissed as blah blah blah are real, and they matter. McElstain/Shannon went 4-8 last year. Mullen is 6-3 with three regular season games and one bowl game to go. A lot of other intangibles have improved under him. He's got a lot more work to do this season, but the season's not over yet. It's too early to gripe, given the things he's accomplished so far.Reports that Chauncey has missed practice all week and Polite is in a non-contact jersey.
Yeah, Omar's comment about LSU is stupid. But he's got a very valid point about getting blown out by an 0-4 SEC team (at home). Honestly, this offense isn't much better than Butters. He's averaging about 16 ppg vs. any SEC defense with a pulse. I expected more. I get it though...it's year one, Butters left him a depleted roster, Franks can't run the offense, the OL is bad, blah, blah, blah. Meanwhile, Mullen is cashing a $500,000/month pay check.

Can't argue with any of that. As far as I'm concerned, Franks has played himself out of any kind of regular rotation. He should sit. Trask should start this next game, and Mullen should attempt to use his accuracy in the downfield passing game, continue to feed the rock to our stable of RBs, and GET THE BALL TO TONEY IN SPACE! Grantham needs to show what he's learned in 11 years as a DC in college and the pros. We beat MSU and LSU. No reason for us to lose to Muschamp's cocks.Well, we'll see over the next few weeks. This offense is really not much better than what Butters and Muschamp put out there....and other than Vandy, it's really regressed. The sh*tty behind the LOS passing game is played (figured out). If he comes out doing that vs. Muschamp it'll get eaten up. The defense simply gave up. Inexcusable. As far as the "blah, blah, blah" part...well, he's getting paid $6 million to figure that out. And again, I get it; you can't win them all...and he was dealt a sh*t sandwich. But I didn't expect to see Jim McElwain last Saturday standing on our sidelines. It's his job to make sure they show up and they didn't. And his stubbornness was really frustrating. Sure, Trask may not be the answer....but letting Franks sh*t the bed over and over isn't a good look either. He talks about not wanting to hurt EJ's development? What about Franks development? THAT is good for him (30% passing, and multiple 3 and outs)?
You will probably being saying that a lot next year. I expect more of the same.Franks is our weakest link and Mullen has us chained to him. Every play starts with FF handling the ball. So our first step will more likely be a stumble. Is it possible that Franks' poor play gives opposing defenses determination & momentum to attack? How can someone be so consistently inconsistent ?
Still, no matter the load of disappointment, we will have a good "total rebuild" this year. Mullen's 2nd year should play better. Are we gonna start saying "wait til next next"?

Just run the option. Mushchamp has no clue how to stop it.
LSU is not terrible but they aren't special. Destroyed by Bama who you thought would struggle against them.Now LSU is “terrible”? Get bent.

UGA isn't special either. Right now it is Clemson and Bama.
