Les not happy with LSU D's coverage or tackling

Yes, he will teach it. I love how teaching these fundamentals, where the whole team is making the mistakes, is something that Miles is going to fix.

well this is much better than what he said after the uf game.

And worse, is that he has waited until now to fix them. This is always my beef with Miles. He is reactive at best with anything and does not teach solid fundamentals. See the past 3.5 seasons with missed tackles, total brainfarts, being out of position.

Translated, it's a coaching deal... which Les may have to wait until after the season to deal with. No good leader calls out his staff in front of people. IMO we'll be hiring a new d-coordinator after the season.

“The story is the mistakes,” LSU coach Les Miles said. “When you play a quality opponent, you can’t give them turnovers. You can’t uncover people in coverage. You can’t let runs that should be tackled go untackled. Our football team has to learn that. That’s my job. I promise you I will go about teaching it.”

Since the season is already in the shitter, I think we should bench all 22 starters, make them run about 60 miles in full pads over the next four days of practice, then let them play scout team for the rest of the season.

I bet there'd be fewer mistakes if the price for them were higher.

The fact is this isn't limited to starters. It's the whole team outside a few freshman.

We've had missed tackles for the past 3 seasons under Miles, and it will continue this year. The scheme simply worked decently for about 2 years until it was figured out. Now we don't have that to mask the issues.

I agree scoop we will have a huge problem and les is crazy bc he will be gambling his time here with not getting rid of them.

I like hearing him at least admit that coaching is finally a fricking a problem. this is much better than telling us that our lines played good at uf

Fact is that he's going to fix this 8 weeks into the season, when its been apparent the past 3 seasons LSU players have tackling issues and we've been out of position on more plays than not the whole season.

If he doesn't hire a DC at the end of the year LSU has a problem in my opinion.

Probably so. You know, if the QB situation becomes stable next year and we aren't spotting people a bunch of points we could actually begin to outscore people again and still win alot of games and it would get quiet around here again. our defense hasn't been in lockdown mode for awhile now....we just won anyway. I hope we make a change but I guess the rest of the season may help dictate that.
