You are correct, they were. But it is not fair weather now.

Doesn’t matter what the OC or DC call if you can’t be physical, block, tackle, cover or have heady play at the QB position. We’re a fundamentally bad football team and that’s a HC problem. Until that’s fixed you can call whatever plays and defenses you want but you’re not going to contend against good teams.

Not everyone. I was far from pleased.

Never was. Still say his dc should have been the dc of UAB, Reeves. Peetz? Always remember, cant replace an orginal (Brady).

Shoulda picked Reeves.
Excerp: A two-time Broyles Award nominee, Reeves’ unit has been one of the most disruptive defenses in the country over the past three years, finishing top 10 nationally in total defense in 2018, 2019 and 2020.
His defense has paved the way for UAB to win a C-USA record three straight West division titles and two of the last three Conference USA Championships.
Over the past three seasons, UAB has been among the nation’s best in getting to the quarterback, compiling 113 total sacks and 277 tackles for loss. Additionally, UAB has been able to get off the field when it counted the most, finished No. 2 nationally in third down defense in 2018, No. 3 in 2019, and No. 7 in 2020.
Reeves’ leadership and guidance proved to be successful once again for the Blazers in the 2020 season. For a second straight year, the Blazers finished in the Top-10 in the country in passing yards allowed at 173.2 yards per game. For a third straight year, the Green and Gold finished Top 10 nationally in total defense. UAB ranked seventh by allowing opponents to gain just 311.1 yards per game.
UAB’s defense got to opposing quarterbacks often during the 2020 season. In nine games played, the Blazers amounted 21 sacks and averaged 2.33 sacks per game. UAB also caused a turnover in every game except one and recorded 14 total turnovers including 8 interceptions and six fumble recoveries.
Reeves’ extraordinary efforts resulted in him being named a semifinalist for the 2018 Broyles Award and a nominee in 2019. The Broyles Award is annually given to the nation’s top assistant coach.
Under his guidance, the Blazers have shattered the record book. Along with finishing ninth in total defense (299.2) in 2018, UAB ranked top 10 nationally in five other statistical categories: second in third down defense (.260), fifth in fourth down defense (.318), fifth in sacks per game (3.43), seventh in scoring defense (17.0) and seventh in tackles for loss per game (7.9).
Additionally, UAB set the school record with 48 sacks and 111 tackles for loss. The Blazers also pitched three shutouts in 2018 which led the nation and they were the first team in Conference USA history to have three shutouts in one season (52-0 vs. Savannah State, 42-0 at Rice, 19-0 at UTEP).
The dominating defense guided UAB to an 11-3 overall record as the Blazers won their first Conference USA Championship in school history, defeating Middle Tennessee 27-25 in the title game. UAB would go on to win their first bowl game with a 37-13 victory over Northern Illinois in the Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl.

DC off to a disappointing start because the talent is there and they’re still making the same mistakes
Gotta give OL coach some time given the shite sandwich he’s inherited from Cregg

Yeah everyone was like WTF when they hired Jones. Literally a name from out of nowhere that had nobody talking about him.

Some of it was on the coordinators.
They made no adjustments. I think the linebackers and safeties suck but both coordinators should take blame.

We stupidly trusted your boy O. For the last time.

Every year from April to July all you hear is positive information. The coaches and players talk up every change implemented and you don’t hear any negative news. Then in August you find out several players will miss time due to suspensions. Then you find out that our DL and OL aren’t actually the best ever like advertised. By the first game all these receivers who are impressing so much drop passes more than catch them. Our coordinators have zero experience calling plays yet here they are at LSU in the SEC trying to figure it out. Each week you will hear how our mistakes are fixable and we gotta do better. But there will be no flawless execution this year. Our players won’t dominate any game. They’ll show flashes of improvement and a few fun moments but our program doesn’t have the culture to become a dominant program. We hit a home run 2 years ago and hoped we could just do it again if we recruited well. That’s now how it works.
Players will get mad at the fans for being negative but they don’t understand how frustrating it is to be fed lies annually through 2 different leaders to never see change happen.

I thought everybody was happy this summer with our DC and OL coach hires?
That's not the impression I had. LSU settled. All their #1 choices said nah.

Only morons were happy when Orgeron's attempt to fulfill his "I'll hire the best coordinators" proclamation resulted in two coordinators who've never been coordinators.

Most I know had a “wait and see” attitude simply due to Orgeron’s glowing reports pre-season while remembering similar projections a year ago which resulted in a complete dud. I don’t believe anything I hear anymore. Guess LSU fans need to take more of that Missouri (“show me”) attitude.

I’ll take the bait here.
The first game for these new hires did absolutely nothing to inspire confidence moving forward.
But, I’m also willing to concede that they may not be the problems.
There is something lacking in the way Orgeron runs the program in the offseason. There is clearly a lack of preparation and lack of focus. And as head coach he is the one who sets that tone.
So I don’t know if the new coaches are good or bad. But this is 2 years in a row with the same offseason results and the common denominator is O.
I think it doesn’t matter how good the new hires may or may not really be. They are set up for failure by the way O runs the program.

Only logical response is to eliminate the coordinators as root of the issue, and look elsewere. Orgeron is the only other common factor. He's incapable of correcting the issue, so he must go.
