How can LSU keep Polian for recruiting and not coach?

There are recruiters just as good. Not a Polian fan so send him packing. Just ask any University of Nevada fan how happy they were when he got canned there.

I am waiting for the announcement of his re-assignment if not termination. I have watched CFB for decades but cannot recall an instance in which the special teams had such a huge hand in every single loss. Good freaking riddance to Brian Polian.

I think all coaches will be evaluated at the end of the season. This is how I would rank them:
House B+ - A- patchwork group with very little depth

Denbrock - C I really questioned a lot of calls including substitution of Daniels when he was clearly struggling or when LSU was up big. He went conservative with Nuss when he had the chance to let him loose. That speaks of trust to me. That fourth and inches call yesterday, if it was him and not Kelly, was atrocious and really makes me want to give him a D.

Polian - F this is just not understandable. As you could see, when special teams were remotely decent this team won. No excuse.

Davis - B+ - A- Oline really came together and was surprising

Cooks - D the Safeties were terrible

Cain - B- the dline played well with the loss of their best player.

Steeples - C - B- you can tell he has never held that high of a position because at times the corners were the biggest liability. However, considering the lack of depth he did the best he could with what he had.

Hankton C- - D+ Really disappointed in the progression of the group as a whole. The inability to separate at times is on route running and they were unable to go off script.

Wilson - B there are no elite backs on this team and they lost one and the other was injured for a critical game. The fumble issues of his Emery is puzzling.

Sloan ? I’m not sure what has improved or even if this is on him, Denbrock or Kelly. So I can’t rank him.

Kelly A considering building a roster out of nothing and winning the West, this was a very successful season.

Just watched the FG disaster for the first time. Polian should have already received this pink slip this morning He has zero business coaching this team. ST has been a dumpster fire all year.

Cooks, Denbrock and Polian need to go.

Both snaps were bad, but that first kick was shanked impressively. Gotta do better.

Portal kicker…

Doesn’t matter how good of a recruiter someone is when their unit consistently loses the games.

Make him the recruiting coordinator and hire a new ST Coach.

For fricks sake if I wanted shitty play and great recruiting I’d have retained O as a coach.

I think Polian will be fine. People just don’t understand how ST works. LSU needs depth to have a good ST. They simply don’t have it this year. A lot of the guys playing on ST probably would not be on the ST had we had better depth.

As far as the drops earlier in the season, that’s not all on coaching. At some point you have to look at the player. Nabers and Bech were the best they had at the time apparently…Until they found this other guy that has been pretty good.

Polian needs another year. He’s a good coach, and a great recruiter. Once we get some depth, this unit will be fine.
