LSU cornerback Mekhi Garner spoke with reporters on Tuesday and revealed that there was a team-wide players-only meeting this week following the ugly 40-13 loss to Tennessee.

Garner said the first topic was the special team's issues followed by lack of execution in other areas. He added that young and old players, including backup quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, spoke during the meeting which helped the team reset.

Reminder that these kids hate losing, probably more than we hate to see lsu lose. We all went to our tailgates in the 4th quarter, but they had to live with gettin whooped. Glad to see their passion

Polian is ultimately responsible he is the ST coach. But the mistakes haven’t been with coaching errors.
The dropped punts, kickoffs are on the players not catching the ball.

But who puts those players in those positions? Who is teaching them how to block and tackle? Who is teaching them how to stay in their lanes etc.?

It falls squarely on this squirrelly coach.

I don’t remember players only meetings under O and Lester. Good for them! Coaches prepare but players have to execute.

Whether the meeting "works" or not isn't the point. You've got players holding themselves and each other accountable. Did that happen once last year?! No. Will it still take time for things to get better?! Yes. At least they've bought in and are communicating to improve.

This is never good news. It normally happens when a coach is about to be fired, although that's not going to happen this year with Kelly

Hmmm. Bama had a players only meeting after the loss to LSU in the regular season in 2011. Saban wasn't about to get fired and Bama went on to be undefeted for quite some time after that. I believed they called it the "Restore Order' meeting or something like that.

Why would anyone want Kelly fired? He is in the first year of a total rebuild

Working or not. Its a culture shift you like to see. Last year we had players opting out after losses. Id much rather seethe team get together and show they care.

I agree. It’s nice to see a team mentality in the locker room again.

Firing a coach midseason was the dumbest idea for that exact reason. Hard to play for a team that was always going to be turned over
