Kick coverage was never an issue for LSU teams. Tracy is a ringer brought in that really needed no coaching. Atkins is a guy that is simply kicking off. Good pick up but let’s not act like what he does takes great coaching.

McMahon’s special teams on the Saints were notorious for shirt return games, and he’s brought that to LSU.

For Busch, all the other safeties have either regressed or shown now real improvement. Battle has been awful this season. Delpit has been great but one player improving while the rest do nothing doesn’t really make a case for Busch. Jury is out on him but it’s not looking like a great hire.

OL players that we’re good last year have been awful this year. Cregg has never been successful anywhere if note as the head guy. Doesn’t matter if he recruits the best talent if it can’t be developed at all. Name one player on the OL that has clearly improved?

Sullivan is a big name for nfl coaching but has done little outside of Jefferson. When it is one player it is likely not coaching. It is coaching when a unit improves with a bunch of players like CB/DB under Raymond historically and LBer has Under Aranda.

O was in no way a reason Aranda was retained. It cost a shitton to keep him which was absurd even if deserved. Money kept hi. Hear and supposedly s promise of a first shot at taking over once O flames out.

Again, no hire has been great.

So you clearly havent watched any kickoffs the last 5 years.

Oh. My. God.

Literally a month ago we were praising the patch work job with injuries and such. Lose a game to the best team in the country and now the guy sucks. Awesome.

So making a 3 star recruit that had 2 D1 offers into our go to guy just gets overlooked? Here's a thought, maybe all of out upper classman WRs just arent that talented.

It's weeks like this that I feel like this fan base is too stupid for it's own good.

What are you even talking about? We only ever play 2 safeties at a time and one of them has turned into one of the best safeties in the country. Our 1st backup, Todd Harris has been solid when he has come in. Eric Monroe has been hurt all year. Who hasn't improved or played poorly? Battle is the only one, and he has never been great. He wasn't going to become some all conference player going into his 5th year.

Busch has been here one year, so yes the jury is still out, but to say all the safeties but one have regressed is ridiculous.
