Brian Kelly can use this loss and bye week to improve… or he can keep beating a Dead horse

Remove the word "analytics team" and replace and renew " offensive staff, strength and conditioning coaching staff". They are Sunbelt quality.

I choose to believe he will make changes.

Trying to find a foundation for this help me out

If BK really wants to turn the season around he fires Davis ASAP and Sloan has to return to second half Clemson for offensive starters

I been saying the same thing since yesterday. How he handles the next 2 weeks is pivotal in his tenure. He would lose the fan base if he chose to make no changes and continue scoring 16-20 points a game, effectively wasting our championship level defense, 2 years after wasting a championship level offense. Local and National media would have knives out all off season. I know the buyout is crazy but it’d start to become untenable for us to keep him.

There is simple stuff LSU can do that could potentially make a big difference.

The zone-blocking/RPO-esque running approach isn't going to work. It hasn't worked for nearly 20 games. So change the way you are trying to block the run game. Go back and watch the first few games of the 2021 season. LSU was trying to utilized generally the same approach to the running game as they are now. They were trying to run the "Joe Brady" offense. That's great...except the OL and, most importantly, the RB was different from 2019. CEH had exception lateral quickness. He thrived in a lot of the zone blocking because he could quickly hit a different hole if the one ahead of him was filled. TDP wasn't that kind of back.

Compare that to the Florida game that year. You'll see Jack Mashburn in the game. You'll see more pulling O-linemen. You'll see a completely different running attack where TDP wasn't having to search for holes behind a OL that wasn't able to execute the blocking scheme. He was running downhill following the linemen/TE. The result was a single game rushing record vs. Florida and TDP going from having the lowest ypc average to a 1000 yard back...after only rushing for 140 yards in the first 5 games! That wasn't an overhaul of the offense. Just a different approach.

In the passing game the middle of the field is where Nuss and his WRs have ALWAYS thrived. Yet, Sloan only attacks it sparingly. Cole Cublic sees what we all see:

2 plays over 20 yards not enough. Felt like there were yards underneath

Take the bye week to figure out what your guys do well and play to that. Stop trying to seemingly hodgepodge shite with discernable plan. Stop trying to run an offense suited for Daniels without Daniels.
