10 wins. If key players stay relatively healthy- 10 wins. Nothing more..nothing less.
I don't have a problem going on record as not being sold on Golden's gameday coaching- at all. He has to show me that he can hang with teams he has no business hanging with and absolutely destroying teams that he should destroy. That's called "elite coaching". Look, Al gives a good interview and his organizational skills and recruiting intensity are great and all, but that doesn't exactly equal "elite" coaching..and the suckking off of this guy is at epic proportions. Why??? "Golden get's it"...*****, Golden better get 10 wins, that's what his *** better be gett'n..lest we totally **** away a potentially great 2014 recruiting class as we continue to watch top talent walk right outta our back yard while reconciling the phenomenom with that dumb *** "we only want kids who want to be Canes" bullsh1t.
Guys..an elite coach doesn't need 4 and 5* studs at every position to win. Great coaches win by out scheming their opponent's. They take away an opponant's strengths while masking their own weaknesses. Elite coaches don't get run out of the building whenever they face a more talented opponent, they hang with more talented teams...their gameday fate often depends on who has the ball last or the proverbial "bounce of the ball either way" when facing a similarly situated opponent (equal talent/coaching). They absolutely rape teams like Duke, UVA, BC, etc..
I'm sorry, but I don't see that in Al- at least not yet. Yeah, we've had the sanction **** and, yeah- he came on the heels of Shannon, but this year? No excuses. Our team is young, but we have experience at the right positions (GB, OL, LB, CB, S). Our offense should be high powered. Yeah, our defense sux ***, but what offensive juggernauts are we facing this season??? We should simply outscore most opponents on the schedule. Amirite???
UF will show us whether we have the real thing or a very articulate, well organized imposter. Show me something, Al. Please...
I don't think it takes an "elite" coach to win at UM. Barring serious injuries, a competent coach can win 10 games this year at UM. And for the record,
I only see 4-5 elite coaches in college football.[/QUOTE]
Agreed. Except the coaches bit. HC's get all the blame and that's not fair a lot of times. But life ain't fair so we deal with it.
But the point comes in that position coaches need to be favored more. Not saying this because I'm from Michigan but MSU has waaaayyyy better coaches than Michigan. The problem is that Michigan gets more talent than MSU. MSU coaches up 3* guys. It's easy to say SABAN,MYER, MILES are great coaches when the stockpile 4* and 5*'s every year as it should be that way when you are winning. But LSU I'll give credit to the Defensive coaches because they have struggle on offense the past few years. If you had the defensive coaches from the SEC and the offensive coaches from the BIG 12 join the same staff you would find 5-6 teams that could not be touched. Offensive just scores points and the defense just hold's them. MSU had a great defense the past two seasons. I cannot fathom what they would look like with the talent that top schools are getting. They pur 3*
s in the league. Any coach doing that consistently is a good coach to me because I know if they had 4* and 5* their teams would be nasty.
Now sometimes talent can mask bad coaches. The top 25 schools are no exception.
I think the entire LSU offensive coaching staff should've been let go a while ago. A lot of SEC teams only have good defensive coaches. FLA, LSU, SCAR, some more I'm forgetting but their offensive produciton is spotty. BAMA has an excellent running back coach though. Year after year they produce running backs and put them in the league.
