re: It's been 12 hours, why does BDP still have a job?

Maybe BDP is tired. He had some kind of surgery and had to be back to work like the day after he got home. He has a lot of jobs. Miles picked a good friend for the ST coach, instead of a trained ST guy. Who called the fake field goal? Someone drew it up, so there should be some praise for that. Everyone knows that BDP is a nice guy and he has Miles' back. That may be the answer to why he was hired over our homeboy.

This is a very foolish statement and mindset, IMHO.
Punting the ball is a common occurrence in every game we play - so, if you have the opposition returning punts for TDs in two consecutive games, you have a huge fundamental problem...fake FGs will only work once a year or maybe once every two years.

BDPs main role is to be a recruiter and assistant to les first, and on-field coach second. i think the "ST coach" label is more a label than anything. with steele and O our coaching became SUPER geared towards recruiting. i think we just need to sort out the coaching to get BDP in a more limited "coaching" role and get somebody, maybe les, more focused on STs
our kicking talent has issues, esp at P. it is what it is
the short kickoffs bug me though

That's on white! He made the bad decision!

when was the last time, anywhere, that an assistant coach was fired mid-season?

O is a great recruiter, but you are under selling his coaching abilities. He is a really good DL coach.

No one can to explain to me why he is such a recruiting asset that he is worth losing games for us. I went on the LSU recruiting Board and asked was he such a great recruiter and the recruiting geeks got mad that I even dared to ask a question.
Because some coaches recruit more than others, and they are assigned areas. We are in the middle of our season, to replace him would be very difficult. We would lose contact and continuity with not only uncommitted, but committed prospects. How hard is that to understand?

White was just doing what he's repeatedly done in the past. Repeatedly shying away from catching punts, yet remaining in the position, is a coaching pblm.
In fact, White has a terrible habit of not fielding punts. Don't know what % he let's hit the ground, but it's high. He doesn't attempt to return most of those he does field. There is no reason, other than coaching, not to try someone different back there.

Well that explains a lot, BDP is the brains behind the genius of Miles?

You don't think Les and Cam had anything to do with that play?
Don't know how it is everywhere but when I played in high school the other coaches outside of special teams were highly involved in practicing "trick" special teams plays at least much more so than when we were running coverage and return drills

Special teams gave up two scores so that a "game winning" score was needed. How's about you go pull for someone else if you are this stupid?!?

I thought the same thing, in order to be fair. Then I heard the explanation of what happened. Domingue came up to Les and said, "How about the fake?". He said Les' face lit up and said, "Yeah... do it... but make sure it's there.." ...meaning 'make sure that you can see what we saw on film about Hargreaves and the right side of Floridas FG block team' is there. It was. It worked. I don't think BDP even knew it was called. It's painfully obvious that the drop off from McConaghy (or whatever his name is) and BDP is a gut-wrenching malaise that typifies what used to be the shining game changer for our team. I have a knot in my stomach on every punt and every kick whereas I used to know we had a one up on the other team with ST.

I don't know...many kids want to come to LSU regardless of who recruits them. I'm not saying he's not a good recruiter, but Frank Wilson is the one who brings in our biggest studs and he is extremely likable. I'm sure he could just put in a little extra work and keep guys focused on LSU.
The special teams rankings are what they are - atrocious. We followed up a game where we kicked the opening kickoff out of bounds and gave up a 96-yard kick return TD to a true freshman on his first college touch with fumbling away our first punt return against UF and giving up a 72-yard TD on a punt return to tie the game.
White has been flirting with disaster all season trying to field punts he clearly shouldn't field and he continued to do it until it cost us in a big game. That's poor coaching. Fortunately, we had a good offensive showing and we were able to overcome it. I would have "co-special teams" coaches at this point if we don't want to make a move in the middle of the season.

I think that is the problem Miles is loyal and comfortable with being around mediocrity.
A coach has a rught to have subordinates with who he is comfortable, but it seems like a serious conflict of interest to put friendship over the welfare of the team. I don't see how he can justify having brought BDP back besides friendship.
