in somewhat of a surprise ( a pleasant one ) Tony Ball is no longer the LSU coach.
IMO besides living up to his reputation as a non recruiter he did a poor job of preparing the WRs for SEC play .
Consider this ...how many WRs on the roster were really prepared to compete at the highest level ?
After Dural and Dupre ...none . This among a bevy of talented WRs available . Quinn made no progress. Johnson , the 5* recruit , was a non factor .
The early season drops may or may not been on Ball but when an entire unit underperformes fingers should be pointed at the unit's coach.
Getting open , getting off the line of scrimmage were poor among this group , things that are coached .
Again , it's on Ball.
WR coach is often a key recruiter . My UGA friends called me the day that he was hired to warn that he wouldn't recruit . I immediately posted the info.
You move forward and offer Curtis Johnson the ass. HC job plus lots of $$$. We have the best WR coach and recruiter in the country in our backyard . Hiring him would give LSU 3 former HCs on staff, O, BDP and Johnson .
