If Brossette slid without being instructed by the coaching staff he should be benched.

The shite show is what happened after the initial slide. They should have either kneeled or scored. That kind of miscommunication shouldn't be happening at all, much less at this point in the season.

Right, but I don't think there was miscommunication. Orgeron admitted he told Ensminger to call another run there.

Heat of the moment, he just wanted to make the score look better.

ETA: If you mean miscommunication to Brossette, then yeah, I don't know why they wouldn't explicitly give him the green light.

I understand the slide.

What I cant wrap my head around is the miscommunication from staff to players (NB). Why not go into victory formation after the slide? By continuing to run, you would think NB would have realized they wanted to score. But why didn't the staff yell at NB to SCORE? The second slide takes the cake of a complete cluster fk

What you should be more concerned about is this:

quote:

And Steve said, it's up to you coach. So I'm the one, I'm the one who said, you know what, let's put seven more points on the board, let's see if we can score.
-Coach O.

Whether Brossette was instructed to slide or not, once he did it victory formation was the only correct call. But Ensminger told O it was up to him. Well no fricking shite, he's the head coach. He's the head coach and he should no better.

Also, if we'd turned the ball over on the next play, he would have thrown Brossette under the bus with the quickness.

Then why not yell to NB to try and score? That's miscommunication!

That's exactly it. All you have to do is send in a sub to tell Nick to score.

The coaching staff should be benched for trying to score again after Brossette slid!

I agree. I edited my initial post after I hit submit.

Basically, Brossette did what he had been coached to do, without being told to not slide again, so the premise of this thread is stupid.

He didn't say he instructed him NOT to do so either.

That's pretty much the whole point.

Obviously, the first 10,000 threads on this were insufficient.

It was a very smart move by him. That first down won the game where lsu could of knelt on it.

Brossette needs groceries too. If he didn't need the points to get his money nobody should bitch about that.
