David Pollack Says LSU Seems Too Content After Winning National Championship

by Staff Reporter

October 13, 202033 Comments

Brad Mills-USA TODAY Sports

ESPN analyst David Pollack talked about LSU's early-season struggles on the latest episode of the CFB Podcast with Herbie, Pollack & Neghandi and suggested that the team looks too content after winning a championship last season.

He also said there is too much finger-pointing happening on the defensive side of the ball. Per 247Sports:

quote:
"A couple things I took away from LSU's defense," Pollack said. "A ton of finger pointing. A ton of, 'What happened, bro? Where were you? What's going on?' And then a lack of effort. And then, listen, you win a championship and what do we always marvel at with Dabo Swinney and Nick Saban? Somehow keeping those guys' edge, right? Like, keeping the fight and keeping the hammer down and not resting on their laurels. To me, LSU looks like they're pretty content."

"Like, 'We won a championship. We were awesome. We might not be good this year, but you know what? We won a championship.' That's frustrating to watch, from a standpoint of a defense that should be so much better that a corner in (sophomore Derek) Stingley that should be taking away half the field and looking even better than he did as a true freshman. And now you have a lot of finger pointing, a lack of effort and lack of caring."

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes. Pollack is right in this case.

A broken clock is right twice a day. Pollack is right. The scheme & coaching on the defense is bad right now but the players are giving no effort and it’s obvious. The pulling up, the jogging and the finger pointing are unacceptable especially at this level.

I don't like Pollack but he hit the nail on the head on this one.

Ignignot•61 months

Dont like Pollack. But he is SPOT ON on this one.

First time I’ve ever agreed with Pollack.

The staff sucks and the kids look lazy. Just a fact.

No doubt there is a Championship hangover, but that doesn't explain how bad they're playing. I mean, we are fricking aweful, the worst, but what is Florida's and Bama's excuse for their bad play on defense? Neither won a championship. For some reason Defenses in the SEC have not been up to snuff. With Georgia being the exception.

Covid and a lack of spring practice probably plays a part in why there are so many defensive issues across the conference. Yes, Georgia’s D looks legit, but I guess we will see how legit they really are, come Saturday.

Like him or not he is spot on

I can't believe all the people buying into that horse shite. If the team was complacent the offense would be guilty too, right ? It's the defense that is stinking up the place so how can half a team, by position only, be complacent ? Bo Pelini is the problem. Obligatory : STFU Pollack

Hes right

Pollack: Hey bud we don't give to shits what you think. You hated last year and every year on LSU! You never have good things at all to say. Your a bulldog, we get that but to be an analyst you suck bro. You are no better that Dicki V with LSu basketball. If you think that is how they feel as players coaches and fans then you are so miss informed so that to me is called "hate". If your going to talk about something talk about the 20 + nfl players we lost / all the young unproven players we have / first year D coordinator that didn't get a off season to teach young players a new D# / oh and by the way...Its not just LSU all the SEC defenses are terrible this year. Georgie just hasn't played anyone they will this weekend and then that will change as well......HEY POLLACK KICK ROCKS BRO #LSU4LIFE

I didn’t really care that we lost to Mizzou. I just kept thinking about 42-25. I’m sure this feeling will wear off.

Guess that means his loved Georgia Bulldogs are "CONTENT" with 2nd place in SEC 4 years. or was it 3?

eugene1928LSU•61 months

SPOT ON, No one heart one heartbeat from this team. Defensive hustling is very noticeably lacking, some look like giving 50% effort. Change the line up, put guys in that have chest and want.

Hey "Poll-Lick"! When was the last time Georgia won a national championship if football? Just asking? You sound like one of those "Dem-O-Craps'! Have all of the answers but never do a damn thing!
