re: I don't understand why people are cutting Pelini slack

They let State march right down the field on their literal first drive after halftime whereas Brennan led us down the field.

His lack of adjustments at half sure made us see the difference in him and Aranda.
Pelini sticks to his gameplan no matter what. Man coverage and heavy blitzing. If it doesn't work, we're fricked because he isn't changing it.
Aranda was masterful with his halftime adjustments most of the time.

True.

he problem was that they were on the field pretty much the entire half thanks to the completely f*cking inept passing of Brennan. By the second half, the D was out of gas and that's when State started going up and down the field.
partly true.
But there were coaching issues on both sides. Big issues in the secondary were that the young guys weren't turning their heads when the ball was in the air. There were a handful of passes that could have been defended if they just looked for it.
Slinger didnt run the ball enough early. He could have helped MB a lot early

I know Bo was at Nebraska. I’m taking about now, no major programs were beating down his door to be HC. He’s a dinosaur compared to guys like Aranda.
It's more like due to his abrasive personality, ongoing conflict with administrators, and going full freak on Nebraska supporters/fans in the latter part of his tenure. He did a strong job at NE, especially given the poor results of coaches before he was hired there.

The lack of 2nd half adjustments isn’t anything new for Pelini. Same thing was happening occasionally back when he was here before. Huge 2nd half letdowns in wins and losses.
I guess he hasn’t changed since then.

Agreed. Understand we took the field Saturday with ONE returning starter on DEF, Stevens, but after the young DB's kept getting beat on 3d down and for big plays, it was time to mix in some zone. Show man, play zone, and vice-versa. We tried to chase their WRs with a FR, two SOPH, and a transfer CB (been on campus about 2-3 weeks), ALL have never started a SEC game.
It will get better with more reps & Stingley, but Saturday it did not have to be that bad. Once man to man broke down, we should have made adjustments and made them earn every pass, ever yard. Make them be brilliant in the basics and execute. DC failed to make timely game time adjustments required due to personnel mis-matches, and that can't happen.

So 400 yards in a half with no changes in concepts is acceptable defense?

LSU got torched by 9 routes with a crosser coming underneath for an easy catch and run. Zone typically fixes that and makes the QB make tougher reads and throws.

Depleted is an understatement. The kids were under talented AND very green.

you thought man was bad, imagine a bunch of freshman and inexperienced players running a zone. Spoiler alert, it ends up with a bunch of DB’s pointing fingers at each other and wide open touchdowns.
We have known we were playing the God damned air raid offense ever since the schedule was announced. You mean to tell me our team can’t learn zone coverage in 2 months?
Posted on 9/28/20 at 12:32 pm to thadcastle
You wouldn't know an actual coach if he walked up to you and bitch slapped your stupid arse.
Posted on 9/28/20 at 12:33 pm to thadcastle
Yeah, he didn't make ANY adjustments for the entire game.
This Defense will be better but beyond a few great efforts, it was putrid.

I’d rather there be a DB close enough to make a play than wide open streakers down the middle of the field.
What happens when you have both?

and Leach adjusts to the zone with a big dose of one of the best RBs in the SEC

Because they’ve anointed him god and they can’t admit they were wrong. Everything will be Brennan’s fault even if Pelini gives up 600+ per game this season, they’ve even got idiots on the first page saying it was the offense not the defense that was the problem lmfao. The rant will twist itself into a pretzel rather than admit the truth.

This article is exactly on point, WTF was BP thinking????
If it’s ED O “I want an attacking defense by gawd” then neither of them should be here long.

That was all Brennan's fault.

Nobody’s cutting Pelini slack. The defense and offense were really bad. The offense scoring 24 points was pathetic given all the turnovers and the defense couldn’t cover anyone

Better than letting them do the same thing over and over again. BTW, Leach never adjusts with a "Big Dose" of any RB.
