Brian Kelly - taking the next step

BK keeps preaching about taking the next step from being good to elite. I understand nothing is confirmed yet but I think keeping house would contradict what he’s been trying to drive home to his players. House has shown no signs of being “elite.” The average fan can understand that maybe we should try pressing and force the 3rd string QB into making an accurate throw instead of giving him an easy 5-8 yard completion every play. He’s the opposite of an “elite” coach as seen by his inability to adjust.

House in year one is the only reason we won the number of games we did.
House in year two isn't the only reason we're not in the CFB. We had lots of injuries.
CBK is choosing to remember the year one version for year three. On paper, House looks like a good guy for the job.

Good grief.
This is an enlightening post. No dline coach, no good dline play, 1 good lb that’s a true freshman that missed a handful of games allegedly because of a cut foot, and a slew of injuries and quitters at db including easily your best at safety (brooks) and CB (Alexander) and you’re talking about elite. Who’s going to make that group elite?

It depends on what BK thinks was the issue and how much BK was involved in the game planning. LSU was short staffed in the defensive backfield, so its possible that they decided together than they shouldn't leave those guys alone and blitz.
We don't know what convos have been had behind closed doors. I think House should go, but you have to look at the situation beyond your own opinion.

You have to remember, BK is a process guy. And I think he thinks enough things went wrong to interfere with the process this season, that he will continue on with House. Or at the very least, see if he gets poached for another job.

Have you considered the chance that the defensive struggles could be more the fault of BK?
He hired the entire defensive staff before House came on board
He is the one that wants to have separate safety and cornerback coaches. I don't know another coach with this philosophy.
He is in charge of personnel and recruiting. He inherited a bunch more talent on the offense side of the ball, like Nabers and Thomas
He is measured and analytical, most Defensive Coordinators are more aggressive.
BK decides on disciplinary issue.

You have to recruit well to take the next step. We’re not doing that.

BK may want to keep House but if he has any kind of pulse on the LSU fanbase then he knows what he needs to do or it won't be pretty.
The honeymoon is over.

Who do they have coming in next year that can improve the defense?
Posted on 11/28/23 at 2:45 pm to SlaughterDale
No good 'cruitin, no good defense.

BK did not come all this way for the goal of 9-10 wins and good to pretty good teams. He had that at ND and realized he was being held back.
He is rebuilding LSU to being more than a flash in the pan, which is what our last 2 coaches provided. Our defense was not “we got close but had some tough breaks.” It was unquestionably bad and not something you’d make some tweaks to and “run it back.”
My guess is he will make meaningful changes to the staff, bring in some more experienced players, coach up the young guys and put us in a position to at minimum stop teams.
If he runs this shite back, he’s in for a long year and a lot of deserved criticism. He will have few excuses to lean on in that case
