This may have already been posted. If not, its a pretty good read, espically the part about "if you want seniority, join the army" New LSU offensive coordinator eager to help QBs - College Football - Rivals.com
Here's a link to the video. I was quite impressed. He articulated his views and positions extremely well. I feel extremely good about the hire. Steve Kragthorpe Press Conference - LSUsports.Net
“All jobs are open,” Kragthorpe said. “I think that’s the way the players want it. If you’re the quarterback, you certainly want the best left tackle and the best tight end in there. … If you want seniority, join the army.”
Yeah, I agree fully. Very impressed. Seems very genuine, and you can immediately tell how effective he will be at mentoring the QBs with poignant but simple direction. As experience brings, he's very self-confident and comfortable while at the same time being unassuming. Same video available on nola.com, btw. 30 min. video, to those who haven't seen it yet.
I loved in that video when he was talking about complexity vs simplicity in an offense he said "We don't want to be a jack of all trades, and a master of none." Basically he said he wants his offense to have a variety of plays to use against a defense, but not so much volume that you can't practice all of them very well. He also emphasized that he wants to have a power running game mixed with a quick strike passing attack. Sounds good to me He seems like a very genuine guy who is very family oriented like Les is. I think he and Les are going to be great together.
I agree 100% ! Having him and Les on the same page will clear up Ole Miss / Tenn end of the game melt downs. I hope! It all sounds good and I am looking forward to the Spring Game to see it on the field !
I'm really excited to see what he can do with our QBs, more specificly Jefferson. I like how he stated the best players would start, he seems really thorough and will work hard to get to know the players and coaches well. Just about all the statements he made I agreed with. I can't wait to see our offense next year and looking forward to the spring game. Truly exciting time.
