Joe Sloan - Offensive Coordinator Review

37 years old. Coaching experience started at South Florida in 2010 as QC and GA. Next stop at LA Tech from 2013-2021. Only OC/Co-OC the last 3 years there.

Unqualified to be calling plays at a P4 program, let alone LSU.

Play calling from last night was utterly atrocious and was the sole reason LSU lost the game. (Even with bonehead Brian Kelly taking the ball first and passing on points first drive.)

Great scripted plays out of the gate with easy throws for Nuss to get into a groove. Pretty much fell apart after that. Continuous runs up the middle - our weak point with redshirt Freshman Chester vs their “best” player Bear Alexander. It was very evident we couldn’t run up the middle. So what do we do every short yardage situation? Run up the middle.

Where were the jet sweeps? Zavion or Aaron Anderson around the edge would have gashed them.

Where was the QB pull? Nuss isn’t slow like Mett. Their defensive end was crashing hard on the back every time.

Lacy had 7 catches for 94 yards at the half. ZERO in the second. Someone said he was double teamed. Ok- someone else was open then. Find him.

Where was the downfield passing attack or let alone passes across the middle? No deep crosses, no digs, no seam routes. The only pass I remember across the middle was the 14 yard pass to Pimpton late in the game and the tipped pass to Mason that he dropped. Also the deep cross to Anderson last drive. The only deep pass attempted was the touchdown to Lacy.

The play calling was stagnant and boring. It was literally a game plan for a true freshman QB playing in his first game to not make a mistake.

Run, run, 5 yard pass. Tackle - punt. Missed tackle - redo sequence.

BK said to judge him year 3. He doesn’t get a pass anymore. The media needs to hammer him in the coming days on why LSU played scared to lose on offense. This loss really was unacceptable, and I’m beyond sick of starting the season 0-1.

TLDR- OFFENSIVE GAMEPLAN SUCKED
