    It would have been great to see him last through the Parson years.

    That's true for 2011 but disagree on 2010. Also 2010-2011 the SEC west was exponentially more difficult than 2021-2022. We also had our QB hurt / missing games in 2011. Even had to go to QB3 at one point. So year three comparisons are hard to say are apple to apple too.

    Offenses in general are scoring more today than 10 years ago too. 42 teams scored 30 or more points per game in 2010-2011. 52 teams did last year and 54 this year. In fact it's kind of interesting to look at points from 2000-2009, the 2010-2011 bump then it's been over 50 teams ever year since (sometimes nearly half of all D1 teams avg 30 or more)

    So in rankings we were 48th in 2010 and 60th in 2021 while scoring the same points per game. You either have to come down that 2010 was an actual better offense because of the rankings of the time or they were equal.

    Well Dan had way better qb fits for his system. I mean one is on track to be a borderline hall of famer with the numbers he is putting up in the nfl

    The truth is, both systems have us around 7 wins on average and can peak to 10-ish wins with an nfl qb.

    Dan got those fits pre-portal age. Can't really use no qb fit as an excuse 3 years in present day CFB

    Leach was making adjustments. He recognized a mobile QB is needed. Parson signing and the offer to Trey Petty make it clear.

    I'm simply talking about which system is more effective here. Not defending leach's qb recruiting.

    This is true. The four receivers head straight out but can turn to open grass or stop when they are open. That's the way I understand it.

    Anyway, I think the offensive linemen already here were not necessarily Leach's type. As he brings in his guys and they gain experience several years in the air raid, the QB will be able to hold the ball longer and throw further down field.

    We had to shift several guys around this year on the OL. I look forward to seeing what Percy Lewis does in 2023 at LT.

    That's my thinking anyway.

    Our schedule this year was more brutal than it typically is. This year and 2010 were essentially the same season to me.

    Can't agree with that. 2010 we played 4 teams ranked in the Top 12 and they were all in the SEC West and our only losses in 2010. We played 3 Top 16 teams this year.

    And I could point out that they didnt start at the same points. Mullen took over a program with very little offensive talent and a QB room of Relf and Tyson Lee. There was no portal for Mullen to quickly insert talent. But I'm happy to talk about how Mullen averaged over 30 PPG his last 4 seasons at State as well as 29 PPG or more in 7 of 9 seasons

    All of that is subjective to who each of those teams played. LSU in 2010 played Vandy, Tennessee, (both horrible teams) along with UF (who wasn't ranked), Ole Miss (4 wins), NC, WV, McNeese, La Monroe. That's 8 wins of their 10 regular season wins. MSU is their 9th win.

    Yea but OM was light years better this year than 2010. And KY was better this year.
    Plus we didn't have to play a P5 noncon in 2010.
    Very little difference in 2010 and 2022, if any.

    All the more reason I never understood why you repeatedly argued with me those last 4 seasons that you didn't want him to be our coach anymore and we were better off without him.

    Well they beat # 10 Bama, #15 Us, # 19 TAM (bowl game), 8 win NC, 9 win WV. In 2010 the only loss anybody of the Top 5 teams of SEC West had was against each other except #10 Bama losing to #22 USCe

    So, this years OM and Kentucky are not better than the 4 teams that ahead of us in 2010. We finished 15th. That's 5 teams in the SEC west that finished Top 15. SEC West top 5 teams only lost too SEC west Top 5 teams in 2010, except Bama's loss to USCe. 2010-2011 is historically considered the strongest competition for one division of a conference. You are hard pressed to even find comparable team strength in one conference much less in 1 division of a conference

    Again that is subjective. Take WV. They had to win 2 of those games to marshall and Ucon in OT. It's easy to say they won "x" amount of games, but against who and what conference were they in.

    NC.. their 8 wins were from Rutgers, EC, barely beat a 6 win Clemson, a 4 win Va, William and Mary, a 3 win duke, and OT win over a 6 win Tn team. Their lone quality win was against FSU where FSU missed a game winning FG.
