Well thoughtout and well reasoned. I like how you point out the flaws in the program but have an optomistic tone to your points. Vols can do it. Great post. Well thoughtout and well reasoned.

I agree with them. I wasn't trying to be a contrarian. I'm just hopeful that it is possible to follow in LSU's footsteps and win the SEC with a new QB and a new OC.

JC doesn't have to be peyton manning for this team to be successful. i'm just stating that as a matter of perception, one reason we are being viewed as a non factor nationally is that we have a new offensive staff and qb. in a conf. that includes qb's like Tim Tebow and Matt Stafford, it just enhances that perception cause the assumption is both of those guys are better. vagabond…i agree.

I don't think he had more game experience. Crompton has gotten meaningful time in two games. But Flynn may have had one more year of practice experience. But he had to learn a new system for his senior year. He may have also had a better supporting cast, especially on defense. The SEC can be won with a new starter at QB and a new OC if the rest of the team steps up to the plate. If I recall, Flynn had only played one game (the bowl game) before his senior year.

Perception. Like it or not, perception is reality in college football. Perception is that FL and GA did more to lose the SEC East last season than we did to win it. I don’t agree with that, but I understand it. Perception says that we were a couple of field goals away from a 5 loss season. Perception says 59-20 and 41-17 matter a lot more than last second wins against KY and SC. I believe that perception is reality in these cases. 6. Perception.

Are you serious? The answer is: LAST YEAR! LSU had a new QB (Matt Flynn) and a brand new Offensive Coordinator (Gary Crowton). They won the conference. “When was the last time you saw an SEC team have a new QB and a new Offensive Coaching staff come in, in year one, and win the conference?” Are you serious?
