How did our defense get so bad in one year?

Portalitis

Perfect storm:

-lost DL coach
-house stopped making quality 2nd half adjustments
-other def position coaches not up to snuff (lack of technique & fundamentals)
-none of our secondary transfers worked out (except Zy, hurt)
-difficult schedule
-failed to maximize hp4 (and other teams schemed around)
-lost too much experience from last year
-overall level of talent not up to LSU standards

I’m expecting many of these issues to be addressed this off-season (among others) and a big improvement in 2024. Probably won’t be elite but I’m expecting good/solid/competitive.

CBK has fielded many excellent defenses over the course of his career, I expect no different here.

The last two > rest if what you typed

Wryder1 - that is a perfect analogy.

Wrong.

Talent is a factor this year, but pretending that’s the main issue is inaccurate. When schools like Tulane can hold your opponents to fewer points than you, how can you pretend it’s mainly a talent issue?

House and is inability to scheme with what he has is pathetic. That’s issue A, B, and C

Nah not wrong at all

When you get pushed around, get no pressure and you can’t tackle that’s a personnel problem

This isn’t jr high football

Speaking of a bad defense;

So IF House “leaves to pursue outside opportunity” what is the likely timing?
Will it be post A&M/Pre Bowl?

Or perhaps after early ESD?

Lost tip 5 cbs on the team. Take bama or ugas top 4 at cb1/2 and stud nickel captain off the team.

They'd prob suck in secondary too
