Can we stop criticizing players for one week and just hammer the coaches?

Where have you been?

This board has been crucifying the coaching staff, hell it’s even starting to turn on its savior Blake baker.

If the players want to give back all that NIL money, I’ll be happy to stop criticizing them. You take the cash, you’re fair game in my book.

No. Hammer them both.

fricking Brown dropped a ball that hit him in the chest for a first down on our last drive.

No. Some of the players make bone headed moves or just completely lose all fundamentals at the worst time.

Nuss refuses to set his feet quite a bit when he throws. Sometimes the O Line look lost and like they’re players in electric football. Just wandering around the field aimlessly. The can’t block for crap.

The coaches certainly deserve a mountain of criticism but lets not act like the players are not getting paid. This is not just a bunch of "college kids" just trying to find a few dollar bills buried in their couch so they can buy a beer or 2. They are getting paid - some of them a lot of money. That leaves them open to criticism.

Do you hammer NFL players?

These are not high school kids. These are adults who are now paid to do a job. They are fair game.

No. They are paid now and are this subject to public criticism. It’s big boy football now.

Kelly criticizes the players enough. More than any previous LSU coach.

Garrett Nussmeier's NIL valuation is currently around $4 million, making him one of the top college athletes in terms of NIL earnings. He has signed deals with several brands, including Powerade and EA Sports.

I’ve been working for 33 years and I just eclipsed $4MM in total earnings.

The Coaching Staff is an issue. Both offensive and defensive Coaches have been terrible at times. Blake had arguably his worst Coached game since the Bama game last year. The decisions and substitutions were terrible. All of that is true but some players do deserve some criticism. We really do not need to be playing Bauer Sharp right now, he has not been good.

Perk didn't play well and looks completely lost and just runs himself out of position and out of the play. Zavion does not need to be playing X that is an abysmal decision. He should be in the receiver rotation at the slot but he is not an outside receiver and that is hurting the offense when he is lining up at X. Need to clean up the drops. We drop key passes that stall drives. Nuss had two plays where I say he did bad but its obvious he has zero faith in the pass protection that is impacting his decision making.

Now with that being said the biggest issue is the Coaching Staff. Hankton and Joe Sloan need to relieved of their duties. Brad Davis will be gone by seasons end but the two-headed monster of Hankton and Sloan need to be let go. I was hoping one of them would have been let go yesterday.

You don't need to play a tight end. The offense has been more productive with him not on the field. So this is not an accurate comment.
