If it is determined that he is unlikely to start next season or the season after, he will probably at least consider leaving. It wouldn't make sense to stay at the point.
Herman lost to UCONN by 3 and Navy by 6, both midseason in trap type of games. He's only in his second year as a head coach. I'd attribute those losses to him needing to figure out how to stay focused during the middle stretch of the season. Not a "bag of tricks" offense that last year put up 34 on Louisville, 34 on Vanderbilt, 52 on Navy, 38 on Florida State, 33 on Oklahoma this year. I mean they even put up 40 on Navy in their loss this season. It's an effective offense.wave97 wrote:If Coach Orgeron wins out at LSU & is retained as Head Coach he should look to Mark Whipple as a hire for OC and Liam Coen, currently OC at Maine as QB Coach. When competing for national championships a pro scheme is the choice, rather than the r/o spread. It is very, very difficult to use pro scheme techniques within the framework of a pure play r/o spread, but it is fairly easy & commonplace to use r/o techniques within the pro scheme. Mark Whipple as OC, combined with LSU's talent is a recipe for nothing but continued success for Ed Orgeron & LSU. The foundation for success at LSU is their D-Line & Corners & there is no coach in the country who is better suited to unleash this advantage than Ed Orgeron.tpstulane wrote:Jeff Duncan column today:

for the future. I would expect to see Scott leaving LSU if that takes place.
Tom Herman & his "bag of tricks" as a r/o spread guru will get his posterior handed up on a silver platter much like he has by UConn & Navy who had no business being on the same field in terms of outright talent. The spread has fatal limitations with excessive injury exposure to key personnel and a fundamental weakness to highly skilled man-to-man capable defenses which effectively prevents a pre-snap read of any value.
I don't see Lindsey Scott transferring anywhere, but I hope I'm wrong.
I think Houston just lost focus last year against UCONN after beating top 25 Memphis and having a top 20 Navy team up the next week. You'll remember that this years loss to Navy was the week following Louisville's loss to Clemson when everyone was saying that Houston had no shot at the playoffs anymore, I'm sure this was a big distraction. I'm not excusing Herman, I think he's shown a big weakness in his leadership 2 years in a row. But again he is a very young coach being thrown into a pretty hard situation with lots of expectations/stress. We'll see if he'll learn how to keep focus down the stretch in the future.

Another example of the TP doing the Greenies a disservice by calling our offense "triple option". Mr. Duncan needs to sit back down on poppa Lsu's lap and stay in his own lane. It's like beating your head against a damn wall I swear... Our offense is more Spread RPO like Houston than your traditional "triple option" like Navy etc. If they aren't calling Houston's offense "triple option" why are you calling ours triple option?tpstulane wrote:Jeff Duncan column today:

This is getting a little off-topic but I don't think Herman's success at Houston is a guarantee that he succeeds in the SEC. That is a HUGE step up and he'll be facing a lot better coaches and players every week.
I completely agree you. The r/o spread is a gimmick scheme. Houston lost to UConn because Greg Ward was injured. They lost to Navy because Houston's defense couldn't stop Navy's FlexBone.anEngineer wrote:This is getting a little off-topic but I don't think Herman's success at Houston is a guarantee that he succeeds in the SEC.

Here is Nick Saban speaking about defending FCS Georgia Southern during the 2009 season - pure triple option wishbone.

He can be successful if he brings a smash-mouth element to his o-line that he can resort to when push come to shove (like Clemson & OSU). You can not scheme-up a mismatch when defenses have effectively turned the table on their opponents by sending, covering or dropping anyone on the field at any time from *any* place. There's nothing to gain an advantage of in the read, because what you think will happen won't! 18 years ago Rich Rodriguez and company regularly scorched opposing defenses, those days are long gone.golfnut69 wrote:Herman can be successful at LSU, his system was pretty good at Ohio State !!!!anEngineer wrote:This is getting a little off-topic but I don't think Herman's success at Houston is a guarantee that he succeeds in the SEC.

Now that LSU has decided on Coach O as their HC and he's has let it be known that his wants a pro style QB it's time for Lindsey Scott to start looking for another place to play more suited to his skills

I wonder if he could get an extra year in the same manner that Tanner Lee got one? Change of regime, new coach is not running a scheme that matches his talents, etc.chain gang x man wrote:Now that LSU has decided on Coach O as their HC and he's has let it be known that his wants a pro style QB it's time for Lindsey Scott to start looking for another place to play more suited to his skills

My High School coach told several very good players including myself (I was in the room, not a recruited player) to listen to your heart and think of your future outside of football when deciding on a college. Also, he said, if there is any doubt, "Go where you are going to play". I still remember that quote.
How many athletes go and are the 5th string player at State U. Now, if you decide to go to a school that has your major etc, and you don't play, I can somewhat understand. However, to go and ride the pine for 4-5 years is just ridiculous. There are schools out there in every conference where Freshman play more in that one year than 5th year Seniors play in their entire careers. Just makes no sense.

Especially at QB. Why go to a school that doesn't suit your skill set? Crazy. In our offense he would have flourished. Oh well.Wavetime wrote:My High School coach told several very good players including myself (I was in the room, not a recruited player) to listen to your heart and think of your future outside of football when deciding on a college.

Based on Etlings performance and the incoming QB from St Stanislaus who is a pro style QB Lindsey Scott will never see the field
+100 at least not at QB.chain gang x man wrote:Based on Etlings performance and the incoming QB from St Stanislaus who is a pro style QB Lindsey Scott will never see the field

No chance. When he signed they were playing a pro style so there is no change in system.DfromCT wrote:I wonder if he could get an extra year in the same manner that Tanner Lee got one?

WT- Three of the players they had that we wanted and had a shot at are all playing- Moreau, Riley and Gage. They followed their dream and it has worked out. Coming here and playing but playing on a losing team just doesn't have any appeal to it. WF has his work cut out for him on the recruiting trail. We have to hope he strikes gold b/c otherwise it's over. If a winner like Fritz can't win here the pool of candidates next time will be very weak. Go get 'em Willie.Wavetime wrote:My High School coach told several very good players including myself (I was in the room, not a recruited player) to listen to your heart and think of your future outside of football when deciding on a college.

Says that his QBs need to be dual threat:

Scott could look like a prophet if O actually goes to a spread.

And what about this high level QB recruit they've got coming, Myles Brennan? Isn't he a pro-style QB?

If LSU goes to the spread then they will 2 QB that don't fit the style. Etling and Brennan. That leaves Harris and Scott. I don't see it happening. Looks like O the interim HC and O the new HC speaks with fork tongue. Recently he was quoted as saying he wanted a pro style QB now he says he needs to run the spread. Sounds like coach talk.

Yep. Brennan for sure would be smart to wait and see who they hire as the next OC before signing. No way I see them running a spread in the SEC. It won't work because of the athleticism of all the top schools on defense.chain gang x man wrote:If LSU goes to the spread then they will 2 QB that don't fit the style. Etling and Brennan.

Auburn won a NC running the spread in the SEC.
