Lining him up on the LOS and blitzing him a lot was countered his SO season by the opposing OC and OL coaches
The problem is that to pick up a blitzing LB, either someone is going into coverage or extra people are used to pick up the blitz. If that isn't happening, there's a breakdown and the defense is down a man. Defense that have their best player completely neutralized aren't going to win alot.

Perkins needs to be on the edge wrecking shite
Except teams have shown you can run right at him. He's 230 pounds at most, he just cannot take on most tackles in the run game on a consistent basis, and certainly won't do that in the NFL.

Not gonna lie, after hearing of Perkins stories in HS and how he would be a problem behaviorally, he really hasn't been one at all.

That is the main reason when you watch the opener vs usc yall will see a major difference in this lsu defense...communication

Agree, but scheme is a huge part. We were too much read and react. We need to attack the offense with a guy like Perkins. I get that House was trying to adjust to other teams knowing more about Perkins, but he went too far. And apparently our guys didn't really know what to do. Our best defenses over the years have played aggressive. The bend but don't break style has never been good to lsu.

Also was in a role that required more than instinctive reaction. Slowed him and others down. Another sign of bad coaching when schemes weren’t adjusted based on player grasp and skill sets.
Definitely. There was obviously a lot of things wrong for stuff to be that bad.

Feel like knowing how to teach players is a big part of the whole "coaching responsibilities"
House probably has a smart football mind, which is why he's bounced around in the pros. But that doesn't mean shite if you can't relate to players and find a way to make them learn.
House sucked as coach and seemed to be an even worse person.
Just so happy he's gone.

little disappointed in Kelly waiting so long to make changes
While I agree I think if you look back on Kelly's start, he needed to acquire a staff quick.
He brought in Denbrock because he had history with him. Not even sure Kelly wanted him for the long haul, but needed a guy who would be on the same page as they took on the rebuild.
Defense was different. Kelly wanted Freeman - who said yes before ND offered him the HC job. So then Kelly had to find someone quick. No clue how he landed on House but I doubt it was Kelly's dream scenario.
Now he's got an actual elite staff around him and I personally believe the sky is the limit.

I get the feeling several Defensive line players would have stuck around for another year if they knew a new coaching staff was coming in. Several recruits would have been all over this new coaching staff.
I thought this too but the fact that we got Mckinley and Reliford to flip, I think they might've been told what was in the works. Which would make me think Wingo and Smith knew too. They were probably just ready to get paid.

I still think execution was a lot of the problem on defense but if the coach has lost the players as pretty obviously House did due to personality, coaching style, whatever, House could have been a genius coach and it didn't matter because he was not the best teacher.
House isn’t a dumbass. He knows football and he knows X’s and O’s you don’t get to where he’s been without it. But it takes more than that to be a good college coach. It’s a tough job. You’re teaching a lot of these guys from basically scratch.
It didn’t help that he was apparently an a-hole.

Perkins said a few things that made House look bad. Main one I got is when he said Baker knows how to fit his scheme to his players.
Bad coaches only know how to run their one scheme and force the scheme onto the players regardless of fit. Thats the easiest way to figure out that House doesn’t know what he’s doing.

That’s called a Gary Crowton. Can scheme up a good unit fresh but struggles to adjust when opposing coaches do so.

This is what so many of us were complaining about with House. He may be fine as an NFL coach, but that won't work with college players.

I know coaches move around a lot, but since 2001 House has had 13 jobs (not including Jacksonville which started in '24) and the longest tenure was his three years with the Chiefs from '19-'21.

Especially when you are not climbing the ladder that is damning.

I'm impressed he's committed. He;s had plenty of chances to leave, and a few reasons.

Perkins was one dimensional and was beginning to get exposed. In order to not be exposed, he had/has to learn things that people don't want to admit.
There was a play last year where Perkins went in motion with a TE or a WR in the slot. He then blitzed and easily got to the QB. That play doesn't happen if he doesn't learn to guard some people on passing plays.

Put him in defensive motion
I hinted at that one time but said it a bit differently. What might work is to wait until the center calls blocking schemes...evident when the center starts pointing across the LOS. After he finishes that process, you probably have at least a few seconds for Perkins to move/aka put him in motion.
The only caveats with that are you might have a risk of Perkins taking himself out of the play, putting him in an area already covered by another LSU player, or the other team might recognize what is going on and start quick snapping.

as many of us have said, regardless of whether Matt House did a competent job or not, the main difference between Perkins being more of a disruptor as a FR compared to his SO season was the opponent knew who he was.
they knew who he was after only a few games his FR season...
Posted on 4/9/24 at 6:00 pm to NotaStarGazer
Good for him to stay put. Most would have transferred out

First, Perkins doesn't believe that as he expressed in the video. And if what you said is true, Arkansas didn't get the memo. Because Perkins his FR season dominated the Razorbacks from beginning to end in their meeting and that was several games into the season. I guess you could try to make the point that it just proves how clueless the offensive coaches of the Hogs were.
