Defense didn’t change until Lane called Ed and told him they were too predictable.


The defense was terrible and predictable in 2020 as well...before Jones arrived at LSU. Coincidentally, it happened to be the first year Ed got to run is beloved 4-3 approach after Aranda left.

So what is more likely? The defense sucked in 2020 with one DC. Then sucked again in 2021 with a different DC, until Lane Kiffin told Ed his two different DC's were running same bad scheme? Or is it that Ed and his assinine approach NEVER worked until he got out of the way and let Jones run the defense the way HE wanted to run it?

Two different DCs...ONE common denominator. I guess unless you think Jones himself, after 8 weeks of average to bad performances, just said "Hey, maybe we should try something different than the 4-3 with no blitzes that never works"?

I agree with you on O having a saying on the approach, every head coach has some say. What I am saying is thy even if a coach makes you run say a 4-3, you can do creative things within it to not be base.

We legit ran a predictable and base defense until week 8. I find it hard to believe O said to do that. Don’t forget, Bo blitzed a LOT, especially against State, even when it wasn’t working. Jones didn’t blitz until week 8…
