re: So O threw another group of players under the bus

They are tired because we have no depth...not because they are not trying.....we used to rotate guys in and out...we no longer have that luxury

Yes and no. Depth or no depth, there is no excuse for the defense to have their hands on their hips after the first play from scrimmage in the second half. That shows mental exhaustion. I saw that same look from the first play on 1/9. Depth is NOT the only issue on this team. Execution and motor is bigly lacking.

Ok so you're mad about how he said what he said, not what he said


Gotcha

It's not just about how. One is telling the truth in generalities, the other is blaming someone else, and not taking any responsibility.

It IS O's fault that the kicking game stinks, not JUST the players. If you want to champion the blunt truth from O, it should be this:

"We just don't have a field goal kicker. That's my fault. Just don't have one on our roster. I also fired the ST coordinator and have not taught the fundamentals to the Kicking Team. That's on me as well Going to recruit some kickers, and I'll make sure we train them up. It's my responsibility to fix it."

He basically admitted that he can have no effect on the kicking game this year, and that recruiting is the only option. Great!

He doesn't.

teve Spurrior for one. He always told it like it was. No sugar coating with Steve.

Steve had actually EARNED the right to say whatever he wants.

Well he isn't lying about that is he? Lol, our kickers have sucked for sure, there's no denying that.

---

I don't care if our kickers are 0/100, as a HC you never say this kinda shite about your players. Especially when they don't even have a special teams coach.

Hey just saying an actual special teams coach might go a long ways helping out our kickers.

he sounds like Trump. No filter.

His new narrative seems to be nothing is fixable through coaching this year. "Nothing is my fault", in other words.

You are 100% right about that. O needs to look in the mirror next time he says he has a lack of anything on the team.

Just don't have one on our roster

Are you FACKING KIDDING ME??

2017 LSU Football Roster

There are three players on that roster designed as "PK". There's a fricking super vote of confidence towards another of your position groups. First wideouts (no personnel to run spread sets). Next, both sides of the line (need to pick us up sum juco players this cycle). Now three PK's on the roster but we don't have a kicker? Sandwiched in the midst of player blame, there was also allusion to lack of coaching from his subordinates and position coaches.

I'm getting more pissed every time this guy says something, anything. You are in FACKING CHARGE OF LSU FOOTBALL, so stop pointing fingers.

I am often in charge of equipment designing and fabrication at my job. I get to pull one or two guys from the production side of the facility to help me as needed. But the job is mine to do. When something goes wrong, I hold my guys accountable in private while solely shouldering the blame to my superiors. And when something goes right, I redirect all praise to my guys. That's how the real world works. I'm no fantastic leader but I understand leadership. Our current head coach seems to have no clue.
