re: Anybody listen to Josh Pate on here?

Dude is a conceited blowhard.
He's wrong as much as he is right, but doesn't like to hear about it after being wrong about some pretty big things.

Honestly dude, it could very well be Baker too. Kelly loves plucking people he's worked with in the past. Even if he thought Baker was good, could've been pushing for someone he was more familiar with.

Everybody does this. WTF kind of point are you trying to make? Also, before he hired Matt House, he tried to hire Brad White, who was and still is Kentucky's DC.

Hiring Baker made all the sense in the world. It was obvious what he was going for with his hires.

But in all honesty, the defensive staff Kelly put together (and road with) for 2 full seasons was pretty frickin bad. So I'm not sure he should be given full immunity again.

Can we chill out with the revisionist history? Last year was horrible. DL recruiting and coaching was horrible, DB coaching was horrible. However the defense in 2022 was not. LSU played the #1, #4, #4 (yes they were tied), #16, and #29 scoring offenses in the country, yet finished 33rd in scoring defense. LSU's rush defense was onoy 63rd, but they had the #32 pass defense. That pass defense played the #5, #10, #15, #19, and #28 pass offenses. In All seriousness, if LSU didn't play in the SECCG vs that UGA team, we would have been top 20 in scoing defense, top 30 in pass defense and top 50 in rush defense.

Who was he going to get once the DL coach had a medical emergency? Why are we keep forgetting that? People keep saying he should have gotten somebody, WHOOO? At that time, who was available?

The recruiting at safety and LB wasn't bad. Hell even the Edge recruiting was good.

Him waiting til after the bowl season allowed him to get every elite developer and some top notch recruiters on that side. They already listed in various different metrics that LSU made the big leap in coaching staff rankings

He's a great head coach. He's always shown to be spotty with his coordinator hires though.

---

if he makes a bad pick, usually it only lasts for a season. He doesn't hold on to terrible coaches. His last 3 DC hires, all 3 of which being first time power 5 DCs, went from being good with him to being hired as a power 5 head coach.

Kelly knows what he's doing. He's built four dead in the water programs up. And started it the last 2 years with LSU.

Click bait

Pate is the man. Even if he says a thing or two I don’t agree with

Doesn’t make him ‘trash’ or whatever word the rant is using this week.


I love the way he does his show. It’s a mainstay for me during CFB

I agree with you, that was the first person who came to mind.

I used to watch him. No more. He started by sucking up to a few SEC fanbases…LSU being one… now he’s gone national he caters to whoever he thinks will get him subscribers///

Josh Pate is the best talking head in CFB and it’s not even close.

Did he say “stave moves” or staff hires”? There’s a big difference in being told he has to hire someone, as opposed to being told he needed to let someone go. Both are considered “staff moves”. At the same time, I could see Woodward or even prominent boosters saying “You need to go after Bo Davis.” But I also would think CBK, would be on board with that, anyway. So that one isn’t much of a “force”.

The AD wanted Corey hired back, you see what happened.

The AD forced Orgeron to hire Bo Pelini. You see what happened.
