The oline never practiced with sleds

I'm not a Davis sympathizer and do believe he should be fired after the season.

But, BK's "specialty" from his years at ND was developing O line talent.

I always assumed Brad was in place to get the kids here and then BK would be a little more involved with the O line to do what we thought he did best.

Just another sign that the guy was completely checked out here, collecting a check.

if true that is huge sacrilege for O lineman.

guess they never practiced a 3 point stance either and could not drive block hat on a hat.

He might be a terrible o-line coach, but he was terrific in Midnight Express.


Besides what would YOU know about playing or coaching offensive lines at LSU?

His position group got worse every year that he’s been here.
Imagine how much money some of his players missed out on because of being under developed

It’s sad that his coaching performance dropped so much from 2021 to this season.

A change of scenery would be the best that could happen for him.

Agree, Woodward and governor refused to allow Kelly to fire him last offseason and after Texas A&M game.

If you base it on results it is not even close.

I have asked this question many times on here, but still there is no answer.
Why was Davis untouchable?

IMO, mostly because he's a black, BR native. Easy to hire; hard to fire.

Will Campbell, as a recruit, was a big defender of Davis. He never said he wasn’t coming without Davis here, but tweeted he would be upset if he wasn’t retained.

Honestly even when we had talent our Oline was not very good. This years Oline is just trash especially if you take out the portal players. Davis just cannot coach them up.

I have only read that Woodward was the one who wouldn’t let BK fire Davis.

Maybe after firing BK some decided that LSU couldn’t fire an additional offensive coach this season on top of the already fired Sloan and BK who was involved on the offensive side, but when did it come out that the governor pushed for Davis to keep his job?
