I don't post much but would like to hear opinions on why we lost a WR coach and 3 WR's in a hurry.

Guys want to play. More guys will leave after Spring. It's no big deal.

Program is going down the tubes, can't you see? Low-ranked recruiting class, losing out on quality coaches and replacing them with guys who can't recruit or coach. The end is nigh.

Because we already have players ahead of them on the depth chart and have some studs coming in at WR that will get on the field early as well.

You have to think that the two guys who enrolled early are probably challenging their spots on the depth chart, not to mention the best WR in this class hasn't even showed up yet. With Dural returning, Dupre and him will be the two starters and it's obvious that Tyron Johnson is the No. 3. Also, Derrick Dillon and Jazz Ferguson may have passed them on the depth chart.

because with an 85 man roster we really need 13 WR's on the depth chart in a system that occasionally goes 3 wide on anything less than 3rd and 5.

Ask yourself, did the three WR's that transferred make a big impact in the last two seasons? Did they get the majority of playing time?

Then...

Look at our current roster of WRs... in our three wide formation we will be starting a senior who is proven and two five star WRs (Tyron and Malachi). We also brought in three highly ranked WRs this class.

One played qb in hs and was thought could play safety, he also graduated. One was a project and very raw, seems like putting on weight is also an issue. And one was hyped up a lot and I think should have stuck around.

Also the fact they were behind 5* players and one underated recruit that put in work after injury, and is an experienced sec wr. Dural also proved early in the little chances he got that he could take the top off the defense and make a big play.

Ballers on campus, and they're hungry.
Once Miles won the power struggle and could offer more than the BS contracts to assistant coaches, he got rid of the dead weight.

I was told by one of the 104.5 BR radio guys in December that LSU had 10 WR's on its roster and that one way or the other the number would be reduced.

These things always have a way of working themselves out. Attrition is a constant.

its survival of the fittest...They can see they will not get much playing time or opportunities and they see whats coming in... in all honesty do you blame them?

WR coach was told to find another job. 3 WRs left because that position is overflowing with talent, and they want more opportunities to catch balls. We take about 25 scholarship players every year, right? Over a 4 year pan that's 100 scholarship players. But we can only have 85. Attrition happens. Kids leave early for the draft, kids transfer, and kids get kicked off the team. It happens. I feel great about the WR position, do you?

1. Who was the wide reciever coach?

2. dural, dupre, johnson, ferguson = no playing time for other recievers

This is natural attrition at a stacked position. Spears was coming into his 4th year at LSU and didn't play a significant snap in his career. Diarse certainly played and contributed at times, but he was into his 4th year as well and had an and up down career. Quinn in my opinion didn't get over those two drops or the staff didn't. A new start maybe is what he needs.

I'm glad they were and will always be Tigers.

The WR position is certainly one of the last position groups to worry about for 2016. We should simply say thank you for their efforts and wish them good luck.
