Is there any way to do the Data with those offensive coordinator numbers with an without Brad Davis? Did the offenses have better rushing attacks pre and post Brad Davis.
Career Average Rushing Yards Per Game by Offensive Coordinator
Offensive Coordinator Career Average RYPG Notable Stops
Kendal Briles ~230.0 YPG Houston, FAU, Arkansas, TCU
Doug Nussmeier ~150.0 YPG Idaho, Alabama, Washington, Michigan, Florida, New Orleans Saints
Derek Dooley ~175.0 YPG Louisiana Tech, Tennessee, Missouri
Graham Harrell ~170.0 YPG North Texas, USC, West Virginia, Purdue
Dave Nichol ~160.0 YPG Texas Tech, Mississippi State, East Carolina, Washington State
Jake Peetz ~140.0 YPG Alabama, LSU, Carolina Panthers, Los Angeles Rams
Mike Denbrock ~180.0 YPG Stanford, Notre Dame, Cincinnati, LSU
For easier and better reading, the teams Davis coached Below
Offensive Coordinators & Rushing Yards Per Game
Year Team Offensive Coordinator Rushing YPG
2015 East Carolina Dave Nichol 133.3
2016 North Texas Graham Harrell 193.8
2017 Florida Doug Nussmeier 130.7
2018 Missouri Derek Dooley 167.5
2019 Missouri Derek Dooley 167.5
2020 Arkansas Kendal Briles 151.3
2021 LSU Jake Peetz 129.2
2022 LSU Mike Denbrock 163.1
2023 LSU Mike Denbrock 183.9
2024 LSU Mike Denbrock 116.4
There is clear data that brad Davis as a position coach drops an offenses ability to run the football.
This is just a quick back and forth with GPT, but I've definitely come to my own conclusion
If Anyone wants to see the back and forth chat in how I got this data, and maybe also expand on it.

We have 11 seasons of data that would indicate he is at least a part of the problem
True, and I did not want that to be true because he has landed some good recruits and is very likable. But likable doesn't win games.
I decided to look up a few other things out of curiosity
The numbers are ranking
Year | YPG | Rush attempts per game | YPC |Team
2015| 108 | 107 | 98 |East Carolina
2016| 115 | 119 | 98 | |North Texas
2017| 68 | 78 | 63 |Florida
2018| 28 | 24 | 33 |Missouri
2019| 85 | 49 | 114 |Missouri
2020| 76 | 48 | 89 |Arkansas
2021| 109 | 91 | 111 |LSU
2022| 43 | 61 | 34 |LSU
2023| 14 | 105 | 1 |LSU
2024| 104 | 120 | 76 |LSU
2025| 109 | 128 | 96 |LSU
The two years before LSU and 2021 at LSU were particularly bad, not sure why he was retained, looking at those. The last two seasons sure look like we have given up on the run being ranked so low in number of attempts

If he was serious and proactive neither of them would have been retained or elevated after last season. This game will pass you by in the blink of an eye…BK gets 10 million a year to fix these things before they become a problem and clearly evident to the average fan! Dude is a FRAUD!

Brad Davis is either a bad coach or a bad evaluator of talent for the offensive system he is coaching in? Or is it something else? This is year 6 for him at LSU
Posted on 10/3/25 at 6:42 pm to Sterling Archer
I am going to throw you a little curve ball which in my mind points to the OC as the culprit.
Year | Ranking |Team, OC
2021| 109 |LSU Peetz
2022| 43 |LSU Denbrock
2023| 14 |LSU Denbrock
2024| 104 |LSU Sloan
2025| 109 |LSU Sloan.
I have been on this BDavis needs to go bandwagon too but your data above tells me problem is OC. Peetz was crap. Denbrock was pretty good. Sloan has been crap.
So the BDavis correlation here does not fit as well as the OC does. If there is a good OC then we score points...
Hell, the greatest offensive team ever in 2019 had James Craig as the OL coach and we fired him a few yrs later. My point here is that the OC is the WAY more important position than the OL coach.

Rushing yards per game ?
Don’t show me average yards rushing per game, show average yards per carry.
Yards per game accounts for offensive priorities, which could possibly be influenced by the presence of Heisman trophy quarterbacks.

He has some dirt on BK because if that doesn't get you fired nothing will!
Posted on 10/3/25 at 8:08 pm to Sterling Archer
His boys can’t run block
Posted on 10/3/25 at 8:23 pm to Sterling Archer
What's crazy is he hasn't coached OL anywhere long enough to show bad he was at developing guys. Longest stay before here was 2 years
Posted on 10/3/25 at 8:27 pm to Sterling Archer
Thank you for this post! He may be a great recruiter but def not a technique OL coach!
Posted on 10/3/25 at 8:43 pm to Sterling Archer
This is a worthless analysis. The OL does more than run block. And discounting stats because you have good players is a sure sign of bias.
He may not be good, but you did a poor job of convincing me of that.

Yeah he’s beyond a terrible tactician of teaching OL blocking. He should’ve already been fired.
Posted on 10/4/25 at 1:27 am to Sterling Archer
Your stats are very interesting and telling.
Posted on 10/4/25 at 6:07 am to Sterling Archer
With stats like that and to be getting paid what he is getting paid that's basically stealing.

Maybe if you are just looking at the stats.
But from the eye test we can see when this team gets in short yardage situations they just can’t get any push.
It’s not always scheme. You still have to beat your man 1 on 1 and they can’t. Not even inferior opponents.
And they consistently show poor technique. It’s not the OCs job to teach them technique.

Your getting lost in the weeds. Granted I dont have a lot of faith in Davis either but if our offense was good at some point with him here then the bigger problem is the OC. I dont care how we get yards. The end goal is points.
