The LSU Tigers got taken behind the wood shed during the BCS National
Championship game. It was more thanembarrassing for the Tigers and
their fans. LSU’s offense was never a Brees type juggernaut but, they
did manage to average 35.7 a game for 17th in the country. The Tigers
beat the living tar out of everyone they met sans the Crimson Tide in
Tuscaloosa. The LSU Tigers beat 3 top 5 teams and 8 top 25 teams. They
beat them allconvincingly. There was no mistaking who was number 1
for the regular season. The majority of the college football world
would credit Saban and the Alabama’s defense for the crushing win. I
do too they worked hard for a month to perfect a game plan against the
nation’s 2nd best defense. But, Is there more to this crushing defeat
than just a good ol’ fashion butt kicking? We may never know. The
Tigers offense seemingly playeduninspiredand unimpressive throughout
the whole game. I’m not one to givecredencetorumorsor heresy but,
sometimes where’s there’s smoke there’s fire. Take what you will from
the following Ireceivedfrom a trusted friend. Did the Tigers get
outplayed? Yes. Is it Les Miles fault? Not totally. Is the comment Bobby Hebert made
ill-timed orinappropriate? Not what so ever. Make the call for
yourself. No matter what happened before the Tigers had their heads
handed to them. Is this all arumoror part of the truth slowly eeking
out? Time will tell. Either way this shakes out the Tigers
arelookingstrong for next year.</p>
Thefollowingcomes from an unnamed source…….. Apparently about 3
hours before the game T-Bob Hebert and Russell Shepard and 2 other
receivers and a hand full of linemen got into a heated argument with Les
Miles and the Offensive Coordinator about Lee getting more playing time
and possibly starting the BCS Championship game. It got so heated that
Miles benched T-Bob and RS and 3 other players. He called Lee into his
office and told Lee that he would not be playing in the game. The
Offensive CO told Miles that he thought that Lee gave the team the best
chance to win the game. Miles told the OC to start looking for a new job
after the game and Miles will be calling the plays for the championship
game. Apparently the O Line sided with T-Bob and Lee and did not give
their all in the game to prove to Miles that the players are more
important than the coach. Now I know that this is hard to believe but
when you look at some things it kind of explains a few things: I will
list some:</p>
Playcalling: Read option pass on 3rd and 10 – 4 times. Running
the same 5 plays over 90% of the game. Overall, Horrible play calling.
Running the ball in the 4th quarter with 9 mins and down by 21. T-Bob
Hebert not taking a snap in the game. RS only playing 3 snaps and not
touching the ball or getting looked at. Lee getting off the bus and
walking 10 feet behind the team with his head down and looking dejected
while walking into the Dome. Heated argument between receivers and JJ
and O Line with O line coach on sidelines. And the kicker, reports that
2/3 rds. of the plays that were practiced up to the game were not run
and the players were not told why. Again I do not know if this is
entirely true but there seems to be a lot of truth in it just by seeing
what happened in the game.</p>
The LSU team did not arrive at the dome until shortly after 6:00
PM. It seems that T-Bob Hebert & Russell Shepherd met with Les &
told him that they were not happy with Jefferson’s preparation &
attitude leading up to the game. He was purportedly at Harrah’s a couple
of nights & drinking heavily. Most of the receiving corp has been
on Miles to play Lee & throw more. Well Les evidently took the
criticism the wrong way & all **** broke loose at a team meeting.
Hebert & Shepherd never got in the game. The offense was pissed.
Jefferson lost the heart & soul of many of his teammates. Les was
stubborn. Something evidently happened earlier between Miles & Lee
& possibly Lee’s father after he was benched and Miles essentially
dismissed him from the team for all practical purposes. Now not only is
Claiborne leaving for the draft but so is Randle, Brockers &
Shepherd (who may have no other choice but to leave LSU). Kadrone Boone (
a promising young receiver) has indicated that he will transfer from
LSU. This is one of the worst internal problems that I have ever seen at
LSU. This is not a black & white issue. It is an issue of team
leadership (or lack of) & a coach that won’t listen to tenured
upperclassmen.</p>
Where there is smoke there is fire. We will all see what happens. Hopefully this is all just garbage but we’ll see.</p></div></div>
