This board is displaying its pathological defense and valuation of the coach over team. Same shite happened with Miles and O.
They will bend over backwards and create any excuse necessary to protect the coach, even if it means throwing the team under the bus.

That whole narrative is odd, it is LSU. A team that was still supremely talented but thin at the end of last year. That was reinforced by a solid recruiting class and plenty of talented transfers.
LSU should be good, LSU should be competing, LSU should not strive to be Ole Miss, Mississippi State, and Auburn where 8 or 9 wins is seen as a "good" season even when replacing a QB.

Very disappointing to let an opportunity to make the CFP slip away but the coaching as a whole this year has been a success. You never want to play that bad when there is so much on the line but it happens, for whatever reasons. I don’t think the players are totally to the end point of grasping the “whole” process and alignment. The coaches may have overlooked aTm to some degree also. Hopefully they find the same motivation to prove something like against Bama.

Did they?
How do you designate "the better team"?
I would say from a talent perspective, the better team won. A&M is loaded with talent.
Why do you think we were reveling in A&M losing all season vs Vanderbilt? Because They were expected to be one of the better teams in college football. That expectation was due to the talent level of the team and the perception of their coach as a top-tier coach.
And by the way, the "we weren't supposed to be here" isn't an excuse for the loss or the lack of energy for the players. It is a reason to not come here and shite on players and coaches who overachieve by any rational metric conceivable at the beginning of the season.
There were a crap ton of people after the FSU game saying "show me where you see 6 wins on this season" and stuff like that. Most of them were silent for much of the season. They seem to be back in force now to tell us how horrible this staff and QB are as they prepare for the SEC Championship game with a team that is 10-15 players short of a full scholarship roster.

I wonder if you hold yourself to the same standards that you hold BK to.

We lost. It’s over. The real loser mentality is not moving on to the next game because you’re too busy focusing on the last one. So I would say OP and his ilk are the real losers with the loser mentality.

I maintain folks who think like that are the same ones who couldn’t be convinced that Miles wasn’t the answer after 2011

with a playoff berth on the line
beating A&M doesn’t automatically get you into the playoff. Yeah we would’ve moved to 4 with Ohio State losing but we still HAD to beat UGA and that is still a tough ask for this team. Can it be done? Absolutely. Nothing is impossible but we were never going to make the Playoff.
The lack of depth finally caught up to the roster. It’s as simple as that.

You can be mad at the A&M game and happy with the overall season results at the same time.

The whole I'm not an a-hole, just a truthteller excuse...

You were completely overlooking A&M and only worried about LSU making the playoffs. When the 18-22 year olds did the same thing you think that is Kelly’s fault? Adult fanbase did not respect A&M and wrote m/talked about playoffs all week. You think the kids were going to be more mature than us and not look ahead? The fanbase created the environment for looking ahead and now we want to blame the only group (coaches) that was actually respecting A&M all week.

Doesn't it just suck when the other team plays hard and tries to win also?
How do you know the team wasn't up for the game? I have been saying all along the defense was due to wear down due to lack of depth, and I think we saw that Saturday. And with all that, we were still poised to take control of the game until Daniels had the unfortunate fumble.
shite happens, man. It sucks. But don't come here with "the team wasn't motivated" bullshite.

Its a fact honestly
More relative to this weekend.
They fricked up last weekend but we’re still improbably playing for an sec title this weekend vs. Sitting at home waiting to get sent to the carquest bowl. Enjoy it.

Did the better team really lose? I'd like to think the answer is "yes". But there's also that lingering fact that aTm was ranked #6 preseason. They have a ton of talent and underperformed tremendously this season. Yes, u think we laid an egg. But I also don't think aTm is as bad as their record. It only took a very small mental lapse by us for them to take advantage.

If Kelly can't do it, maybe we should hire Ryan Day, or Dabo Swinney, or Dan Lanning?

It’s not that the team wasn’t up to play the game or flat. They shite the bed and played conservatively and tight. Basically we played not to lose on defense and it allowed a ton of rushing yards. On offense JD puckered up and wouldn’t let the ball go. He’s done it the last 3 games since we beat Bama. Maybe now that the pressure is off with the playoffs he’ll sling the ball again but I doubt it. I do think the defense will come out ready to play.

It’s not an excuse. It’s just the reality.
It’s Kelly’s first year. It doesn’t really matter what anyone thinks about the dude right now. He’s not going anywhere.
Either he gets it done in a few years or he doesn’t. Personally I like where they are headed. But it doesn’t matter what I think either. Just relax and see what happens.

Name a coach at any level who motivated their players for every single game, including the games they were “supposed” to win.
