Except for status of players it’s the same questions followed by same answers. We have to get better, have to play better yawn zzzzz

What other answers are you wanting? Specifically. What can he possibly say to make anybody feel better about a 40-13 asskicking at home?

Be honest, y’all would only be satisfied if you got your pound of flesh with him throwing specific players and coaches under the bus. You want him to say “Why are we bad on special teams? Cause Brian Polian fricking sucks. Terrible hire. I really fricked that one up. Can’t wait to replace him after the season.”

“What’s wrong with the offense? Daniels is arse. Can’t read a defense to save his life. Terrible passer. That’s when he’s not too big a pussy and actually is willing to throw the ball. Of course, Denbrock is not doing him any favors with the scheme or play calling. He’s a dinosaur of an offensive mind, brought a stale system with him here, and is terrible at teaching it. fricked that hire up too. Will be certainly looking to pay him a few million in the off-season not to coach here.”

I get it. These are the answers I was wanting Saturday myself. But 48 hours later and sober, I realize those are not the answers he can give, nor are they the answers he SHOULD give. Because as much as we want them to be to prove ourselves right, they’re not the correct answers either.

I actually felt better after listening to Kelly. He is still very much in control and understands exactly where he is—and the team is—in this process. Which is long-term. And I don’t think the goal is as easy as to win a National Championship. That’s a by-product.

He’s trying to lay down the infrastructure and build the long-lasting championship program that will outlast his own tenure as coach and be a huge part of his lasting legacy, after he’s gone. Similar to what Saban did, but maybe even longer-lasting. I defended Les Miles on here his whole tenure and will continue to do so when necessary—though not nearly as vigorously—but I think I did underestimate just how much—and how long—the benefits of what he sewed in just 5 years here were reaped after he was gone.

I don’t think O killed the program like a lot of people do. He certainly failed to capitalize on having the greatest team in CFB history. But I think he got hosed by some outside the program social stuff (COVID, BLM ‘20 Presidential Election, etc…) that he, quite frankly, was not equipped to handle. It hadn’t ever been on the job description of Head football Coach of LSU on anywhere near that level before. But, unfortunately or not—no matter your personal politics—going forward is likely going to require a mind/personality that can deftly navigate those type of waters and keep the team focused.

I think the combination of losing so many players off that ‘19 team combined with all the social off the field bullshite (and I’m counting the lawsuits, and the accusations against Guice and Les) and just everything kind of exploding into shite in a very short period, finally killed whatever good Saban had built. And it required a hard-reset. Now here we are. And it sucks in the beginning. There will be growing pains. But if Kelly is who most of us think or thought he is, the long-term benefits will be great, and they will still be reaped by coaches even after he’s gone.

Will Campbell: will be released from hospital today...passed a big medical test and things are looking promising...status for Saturday unknown. Still has another test he needs to pass.

Not a doctor, but didn't realize that there were this many medical tests for dehydration. Not trying to stir up shite, but we sure this isn't something more serious, like a cardio issue such as myocarditis brought on by the COVID jab?

Must play the best players...40 should be on field almost every play!

anybody else tired of hearing "we have to coach better" already?

which is probably why we went with scrambling QB and put him in as a pocket passer.

Was he so dehydrated he fell and hit his head? Story has some missing details.

There is no excuse not to play Perkins. Kid is too talented. BK completely wrong on that one

He left less than 40 scholarship players and didn't recruit for shite after 2019

One of the major points why he should have never been hired

Already two coach o catch phrases. Drink

“Gotta coach them better”
“Flip the script”

I lost count after the 30th time you said this. We get it. You notice the similarities to “gotta coach betta”. It’s coach speak yet not factually wrong. You don’t have to post this after every Kelly PC.

So Woodward panicked after Riley headed west, and just threw a huge contract at a big name.

This guy isn’t any more knowledgeable about football than Les or O.
