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."

What an idiot.... Pollack has his head squarely up his own arse yet again.

He said that with a dick in his mouth in Coates bathroom

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

Geauxlden55•42 months

Like him or not he is spot on

AtlantaLSUfan•42 months

First time I’ve ever agreed with Pollack.

brett408•42 months

I disagree that he is right on. Our issues are 99% coaching scheme. When players are not in the right positions to make plays, that is on the coaches. They are playing slow, because they are not sure what is going on. Again, that is on the coaches.

ChanceOfRainIsNever•42 months

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.

DeafVallyBatnR•42 months

How would he know anything about winning championships

Strannix•42 months

Something he would know absolutely nothing about

David Pollack Says. Stopped reading right there. The guy is pretty good with his analysis and he's probably right here too...but for some reason his bias against LSU taints his opinions.

La Place Mike•42 months

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.

GumpInLex•42 months

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.

Ignignot•42 months

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

Old Money•42 months

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

eugene1928LSU•42 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.

eugene1928LSU•42 months

I will say till Pollack's old team uga the notorious runner uppers, beat the gumps they'll always be losers. They choke every TIME.

SulphursFinest•42 months

You’re right. This also has nothing to do with what he said.

pellietigersaint•42 months

he nailed it

caliegeaux•42 months

Maybe he can lend us some insight on how to win and not become complacent.....like when he did it those years at.......... wait a minute. David Pollock? Coates Hall David?

CanebreakCajun•42 months

Does not make him wrong though.

caliegeaux•42 months

absolutely he's not wrong........and what most fans saw in week 1. but my point stands.

slicc3333•42 months

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