What gives?


We didn't have a D-line coach all season.

Our D-line coach left before the season for personal reasons and BK didn't feel it was important to hire another one or was more loyal to his staff than his team. Hell, maybe no one in America would take the DL coaching job at LSU last August before the season started.

BK didn't try to fill the opening and opted to let GA's and analysts on staff help with the defense. BK tried to stop the bleeding in October by bringing in Jenkins as an analyst but it was too little too late.

Our D-Line coach didn’t leave. He had a life threatening illness that caused him to miss the entire season.

How do you hire another D-Line coach right before the season starts when you already have one under contract???

It was a very difficult situation for everyone involved, and believe it or not, it was no one’s fault. It was just a really bad break for everyone.

BK did what he could, he promoted an analyst and hired Pete as a consultant. It was just a really unfortunate situation.
