What, me worry?

This post was needed why?

Don't understand the downvotes. The way Kelly dove into the portal and pulled out some diamonds makes me think he has a plan on the remaining safety needed. The VT cornerback may very well play safety next year, but I don't think there is a single current secondary player on our roster that should be starting at the other safety position.

Seems more like a rant topic than recruiting board information.

Let’s try to keep this board for recruiting news and information rather than every thought that pops in our head.

We still don’t t have ST (snapper and punter) figured out at end of the year.. and you want them to figure the safety position out?

Every year in BK era we have a hole or two that is below average. And it has killed us. Not to mention we haven’t won an opener in his tenure at LSU.

Someone needed attention this morning.

We brought in a punter and have two other snappers on the roster. Roy was fine until he got the yips this year.

I mean he took over a program that had completely imploded. Bound to have a couple problems. He's clearly turning things around.

I don't see how this is relevant to a recruiting thread?

They weren’t confident in Todd last year, so we brought in a punter through the portal and he kicked below his previous average. Now we have already taken a new punter in the portal and I believe we signed a PWO snapper. Maybe pay attention.

At what point will we continue to use this excuse? He’s the HC with a whole lot of support. Need to figure it out.

At about the 3/4 year mark? It's hard to build a program when 2/3 of every recruiting class leave every year because they're not in the 2 deep by the bowl game of their freshman season.

Player evaluation or lack of.

I think player evaluation has been fine and most would agree that LSU wins all three of those games in end of year rematches.

2022
- 1st game together under Kelly against a very veteran team.
- red zone frick ups
- pro bowl WR muffing two punts
- 3rd down defensive failures that were fixed by week 3 with Perkins getting more snaps
- blocked xp

2023
- red zone frick ups
- Heisman winning quarterback has worst game of the season
- implosion after a WR slipped resulting in a pick

2024
- red zone frick ups
- missing best CB in a game where the opposing team threw the ball 36 times
- Jordan Allen playing meaningful snaps
- recovering 0 of the 5 opposing team fumbles
- a stupid penalty by major burns
- a stupid penalty by Kyren Lacy
- an incorrect replay review awarding a catch because it looked cool
- Sage Ryan getting outside CB reps and not understanding how a cover 2 works

In all three of those games, red zone frick ups cost LSU a win. That's really the only thing about Kelly coached teams that have concerned me. I like the aggressive nature but you have to convert those opportunities.

I agree with this. Good work.

We just haven’t fully figured it out yet. I won’t lie I’m not a huge fan of BK. If I were to pay a coach $9.5 mil/ year I’d want better results. That’s all I’m saying.

That said, our LS was fine until the past few weeks, so not sure what happened.

He and Todd combined for a few shaky moments this year. The botched snap and hold vs USCe on a PAT could have easily cost us that game. He needs to improve next year and Todd just needs to be gone.
