re: Lay off of Coach K, two players loss that game for LSU, his players fought hard for him

I need more emotion from Brian Kelly on the side line. I know the TV may be late to show his reaction but when the targeting play happened he should have met the player at the hashmarks chewing his arse out all the way to the bench. That's the kind of emotion we need. Rather than a "well damn, that wasn't a good play" expression. And have the asst coach talk with him. That wasn't a teaching moment. That was a WTF was that play moment and make the player wonder if he is even on the bus ride home.

Don't know if this is the right thread for that hot take but I will leave it right here.

A HC needs to keep his composure when his team is struggling. That is what Kelly did. Nick Saban is the master of player psychology. Pay attention to him during Bama games. He's almost always calm and supportive on the rare occasions when Bama is struggling. He waits until they're up 50 and the game is out of hand before he starts chewing peoples' asses.
