I’ve never seen a coach make a tackle or complete a pass. So hear me out. Yesterday, we gave up 31 points. Is our scheme that bad that we were that out of position or is it lack of execution by all of these 5starts and guns for hire? We get down to the 2 and score a TD but we jump early. Dropped passes, stupid sacks, and making a 5’10 mutt from New Mexico JC look like a Heisman winner. I’m not happy with the coaching either but the players have to perform

So coaches have to coach well and players have to play well? Great insight. You sound like BK during a press conference.

How many tackles did Harold Perkins make yesterday?? How many times did they have a wide open receiver on 3rd and long?

Idk what you are getting at. Do you think I believe that Harold Perkins played well yesterday?

Coaching matters but LSU players have the FB IQ of a door knob.

Coaching also means putting players in the best position to win.

From punting with 3 mins left, to having Ramos attempt a 50+ yarder Kelly constantly fails. Yes players have to execute, but at some point Kelly owes it to the team to try new things if the execution is poor.

Ramos should not kick beyond 45+, has 3 years of proof of this. At this point our RT should not be playing anymore. You know Thompson the RG has a ton of experience at RT, maybe try him there and use Curne at RG?

Kelly is ultimately a MAJOR failure at LSU right now. Lame duck coach that lost 90% of the fan base yesterday. Tiger Stadium will look pitiful next weekend.

Which is a reflection of coaching.

I haven’t had the time to watch a ton of other games outside of LSU this season but I certainly haven’t seen an OL perform worse than ours…and we have 4 and 5 stars…although younger.

Our two best linemen are transfers. That says a little something about coaching as well.

This is mostly a coaching problem.

Most of the execution issues seem to be stuff that should have been hammered out in practice. That's on coaching.

Have ever noticed that players on better coached teams perform better? It’s the coach’s job to prepare the players so they execute and perform at an elite level consistently. It’s what good coaches.

Poorly coached players will fail to execute and perform well.

Operation of the offense is not smooth. Substitutions are not quick. That is 100% coaching.

After watching portions other games yesterday I was pretty jealous of other team's execution, like lack of drops, finding the creases, staying in lanes and not constantly blowing by known DT QBs.
I gotta believe LSU players were coached up on these basic things and ignored in excitement of game-time.
I had to lol at a couple of LSU OL getting pancaked also.

I know blitzing a Playmaker qb that can’t beat any sec team with just his arm is basically retarded. Blitzing him straight up the A gap with no spy is mentally insane. I LOVE baker but yesterdays game plan was so bad its shocking.

When the problem is execution week after week after week for 7 games in a row it is then a coaching problem.

What your seeing is a result of lack of excellent coaching. Coaching who are soft coaching, coaches who do not know how to teach position mechanics, no real focus on fundamentals such as proper tackling or blocking fundamentals, poor pass route execution and not seeing the field.

Out team is playing how it practices. Those practices are ran by our coaches.

You play like you practice.
Soldiers drill until they do their job without thinking, it's second nature

Coaches no longer fear being fired.They get paid massive amounts.

Only coaches who demand excellence from staff and players win championships.

I’ll allude to the part of the game where they showed Kelly’s rant towards the reporter and asking him why he’s micro analyzing things on their win and that is the exact mentality that proves Kelly isn’t detail oriented and his team makes critical mistakes in critical junctures of the game. Hence, the false start that erased a TD that would have pulled you to within 3 and multiple holding penalties that erased some big gains that could have continued drives.

Serious question. What is the thought process of punting the last series…and really, even the one before that?

I get that there have been a lot of questionable decisions…and frustratingly, quite a few regarding 4th down. But this one makes no sense. Not trying to start another negative discussion...I just need some clarity on why any coach would make that decision. How did that decision get made?

I can’t wrap my mind around it. There has to be an explanation. Did they run out of time to decide? Did BK not get asked? Did he not realize the time left on the clock, twice? I mean, it seems like a no brainer.

Is there any legitimate reason any coach would not have attempted another attempt?

You have to teach execution.

And if is innate, as you might be leading on, then it is up to the coach to scout guys that have this intuitive execution.


You’ve underthought all of this post.
