Why did CBK think he could make it without a DLine coach when Lindsey left??

Dude it happened right before fall camp
What did u expect him to do?

Now if it’s a concern after this season you can find a replacement after season

It’s a good question.

Lindsey was rushed to the hospital the first or 2nd of August.

You could try and find a coach that fit our needs that was out of work, find a promising GA that from somewhere or hope someone on the staff could do it.

Kelly chose the last option, but it’s not like he had a lot of time or any really good options.

Does anyone know what Lindsey's health status is now? Does CBK expect him to return this season?

A couple of reasons.
#1 I guess he thinks he could eventually come back. Whether this year or next year. He didn’t want to cast him aside with a new hire. Probably can’t hire anyone this late and tell them they may not have a job come whenever Lindsay is healthy
#2 I guess he thought between 2 former defensive coordinators they knew how to coach the dline.

Because Kelly had to bring someone in that understood the scheme.

So you have to promote form within that close to the season.

Kelly said the other day that Jenkins has no part in the scheme or rotating DL in and out. He’s there purely for coaching them on technique.

It’s a perfectly appropriate question and if you don’t think so, you haven’t thought about it much.
Medical emergencies happen and sometimes you need new personnel, particularly here, where Lindsey was totally incapacitated from conducting job duties.
We have a DL position coach b/c we need one, not b/c it’s a luxury.
And if House thought he and others could cover capably with no diminution in performance, what did they think after FSU? After Grambling’s first three series? After Arky?
Until fans and the media went berserk about this defense post OM, I cannot see anything House did.
We were not helpless after Lindsey’s August diagnosis. If we made any material adjustment, it is not apparent.

Agree, all the signs were pointing to issues that needed addressing after those games. The problem I have with it is why wait until we lose to make a change. The big question is did CBK make the call to Pete on his own or did Woody make him make the call. We will never know this answer….

For all we know, Kelly might have reached out to Pete earlier and then approached him again when the problems with the D-line became more acute. As you say, we'll probably never know the answer.

It would be a fricking PR nightmare if they terminated him as soon as that happened are you crazy ? And on top of that people would’ve tried to make it a race thing as well

What stud defensive coach were you expecting them to bring in right before the season?

Not much going on up there and it's obvious


And as typical you'll make the original post, and you won't jump back in the thread bc you can't genuinely defend your take. Very sad and indicative of you not having much going on.

Should have contacted PETE JENKINS when it was determined that Lindsey would be out for a while.
