I don't know what your point is here but it appears to have something to do with the Dallas Cowboys.

This is only partly true. A person either is or is NOT an athlete; a coach can't make an athlete out of someone who isn't athletic.

When talking in terms of college athletes, there are elite ones and non-elite ones. LSU should have elite athletes, so they should be able to be coached.

But individual determination starts to feed in there.

Athleticism asid, how about football IQ and individual's mental toughness? I don't suppose such can be coached.

there are no good coaches by your criteria. saban cant coach up the dolphins. carroll cant coach up the jets. petrino cant coach up the falcons. davis cant coach up the browns. etc.

GC didnt develop Flynn, Flynn was pre developed for him, by Jimbo.
fact is GC hasnt developed a single QB at LSU, and the talent isnt lacking. Flynn was recruited at about the same level as Lee. talent is a wash. maturity ( experience ) might be a bit short... I'd concede that...

but do you remember Matt Flynn's first REAL start? it was Pre-Crowton and everyone was worried about his experience. shoulda played him all year in 06.

Really? I know Jamarcus is a Ryan Leaf-style bust in the pros, but he won a lot of games for us.
