The honest truth about our coaching staff

Across college football there are a ton of position coaches who aren’t very good but they are there to recruit and be the rah rah guys on the sideline. Basically, all hype and not much substance is what we have at several important positions. I don’t think too many young kids get real excited about playing for boring dudes like Les Miles or Brian Kelly so you had to have these guys to recruit. Now we should just be hiring the best coaches period because money is the top recruiter. Our Oline is beyond poorly coached and our RB’s look lost. Last year we had four lineman drafted and still couldn’t run the ball. Sorry but at the end of the day it’s all coaching.

At a big time job (which LSU certainly is), you can’t hire an inexperienced coordinator. Unfortunately, we did that, and he’s in over his head at every level of the offense.
It’s clear to many, we’ve got to hire an experienced offensive coordinator soon. The reason our offense looks lost is because our coordinator doesn’t have the skills and experience to fix it and scheme around a bad OL and bad OL coach.
It’s really crazy when you think about how much money that we are willing to spend on coordinators (and have many times in the past) and still hired from within on this one, and it wasn’t even an experienced in-house hire
I know Kelly has mostly entered the “CEO phase” of his career (which is fine, nothing wrong with that by itself), but IMO to prevent this season from going totally off the rails he’s gonna have to pick up the playsheet and take control of the in-game offense.

And we’re paying very nice salaries.

I see a poorly organized group of football people.......they do NOT seem to have basic fundamental knowledge of coaching young men to play better football.

So do you get an OC out of retirement. Or write this season off?

Overpaid and underdelivered.
Inflated coaching salary contracts - nothing you can do unless it changes

Offense aside, the defense will probably keep us in every game. So you don’t need much to find ways to scrape out wins. While this team IMO has no shot at winning a national title with this offense and offensive staff, we could easily duct tape together enough offense to get us to 9-10 wins. So no, you don’t waive the white flag on the season when you have a defense that will keep us in probably every game.
We gonna have to be Iowa the rest of the way. A bit of an exaggeration, but I think you get the point. Scrap and claw and find SOMETHiNG on offense a couple times a game to win with defense.

I think you’re right. Let’s hope BK has a plan.

Kelly is a pretty respected playcaller. He's been hands-off so far, and the idea is he needs to take more control himself.

This is a good point. You still have to have some that are good at recruiting, but it’s definitely not as important in the new landscape.
Posted on 10/1/25 at 7:27 pm to how333
A new OC will not help this season.

I don’t understand how BK was able to hire a great staff at ND .He was even able to replace coaches who left with good hires, but not so much here.
Posted on 10/1/25 at 7:37 pm to RGT
Probably because he’s not from here and has to rely heavily on agents to make hires.

wtf Les miles is boring? You don’t know what TF you’re talking about

I get where you're going, but Iowa has historically had a decent smashmouth running game to eat clock and shorten games.

The best part will be in a few years when the players are in the NFL or finished their college career, and all the stories come out about how Sloan was lost and over his head. And that Brad Davis didn't want to switch blocking schemes to help his players out. Great coaches get players to fit their scheme and when they have issues with running the scheme the coach morphs the scheme to fit the players.

I don’t believe for a second CBK could do that successfully, at a high or even average level.

Is it true Sloan leveraged Bryce underwood to be co-OC with Denbrock and Denbrock said f that I’m going to ND and then we lose Bryce, who was never coming here because of Sloan? If that’s the case, that’s on Kelly for not telling Sloan to go back to mid major football and don’t let door hit you in the arse
