re: BK did say that he hears , through his headphones, the convo between Sloan and Atkins

Sloan is so lost that he can't even script plays that make sense or teach his team how to run them.

Or it is BKs script that he wants to run since that is the only thing he can control in the game.

I rewatched the game. Say what you will about the OL run blocking. Nuss had plemty time on most passing plays to get the ball where it needed to go. At one point we were up 7-3 like inside the 40 or 30 of Ole Miss. Nuss had a super clean pocket and threw the ball into coverage. A competent QB doesn't do that.

While watching the UCLA vs Penn St game, Nico ran every single time Penn St left green grass. He DGAF! He said he would do whatever to win. Nuss has legit straight line speed. You can see it on that 28 yard run vs SELU. His horizontal speed is trash, but he can run atraight ahead pretty good. However he never even tried. Again, i saw slow arse Drew Aller at Penn St ran for like 80 yards that game. He ran right up the middle when UCLA vacated the area. He also ran like he wanted to win the damn game.

but very revealing

Go back and watch the first or second series against USC. Nuss got rattled and was just doing whatever, Sloan nearly had to be retrained in the booth.

Yep you saw him say "RUN WHAT IM FCKING CALLING"

It seems like the other team can hear them too.

He hears it, but apparently doesn't understand it, and certainly doesn't change some of the bad stuff he is hearing.
He just says post game, 'we had plays for 3 rush 8 drop defense, we just didn't change any of them' or run enough of them". I didn't see any...did anyone else? He is just making up stuff to cover his a$$.

If he hears the calls, and doesn't change anything, then he is complicit in the ineptitude. I know if I were the HC and I heard the play calls and knew what was coming, and watched it unfold for 5 games, there would be some serious changes happening by now.

2 of them are standing there watching like "how did this guy sneak past us?"

I keep coming back to the fact that BK was literally a year or two away from retiring and handing the reigns over to Marcus Freeman at Notre Dame. Then our genius of an AD swooped in and offered him 100 million guaranteed to be our coach for the next 10 years. He’s been on record saying he’s in the part of his career where he mostly supervises his coaching staff and acts as a CEO. And then it’s been reported multiple times he’s observed by many to be aloof and disconnected from the day to day football operations in the building. Why is any of what’s going on surprising? If he’s that uninvolved, then he will live and die by his assistant coaches and right now there’s a couple doozies on the staff. And I think he’s fine going down with the ship because he’s got a massive nest egg waiting for him when he retires, thanks Scott!!

Can we all just stop over analyzing what is being said by Brian Kelly. Its common Coach speak. Hes not going to fire him in-season and not going to throw him under the bus when there is nothing good to come from that.
