Jacques Doucet on the Frustrations With LSU Football

He sure did. Almost seemed like Bonnette took him aside and asked him to help a brother out.

He threw BK a softball

He just wants to keep his job and access because coaches don't want to answer difficult questions. Thus, he has a self-interest bias...as well all do. But don't try to pretend that you don't. It's disingenous.

His first question at the press conference yesterday after LSU's defense gives up the most yards to an opponent in the ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY YEARS of the program is....

"Coach, would you say Matt House and the defense were a big reason you won 10 games last season?"

First, WTF does last season have to do with last Saturday night? Second, it sounds like a partisan question to a political figure in the midst of a negative reality that EVERYONE knows exist. It would be akin to one of these loser political journalist asking this question in the midst of a terrible economic climate: "Mr. President. Would you say last year was a great economic recovery".

As a journalist you don't have to be ugly or combative with your question. But don't try to sell some bullshite about being unbiased when you ask such a blatantly pandering question. Is Doucet moonlighting as Kelly's press secretary? What a tool

Most DC's don't install their schemes and/or doctrine till late in the season (Texas A&M) or the following Spring during their 1st season. Last year was let's get on the field what they already know--By November we can start the "Install" of our vision as a defense. So Doucet's question was valid--The answer was if BK going to admit if it was House's official True defense last season vs Now.

Absolutely was preplanned and I am sure it was a favor to bonnette. I do not think it was done to keep himself in the good graces and to not be shutout by the media dept. Jacques is always fair with his questions and statements. He has been covering LSU so long there is no reason for him to build up good will, he always has this. It was just a odd question because I don’t anyone would say that House and the defense didn’t do a good job last year.

This is what I have been saying during the game. Dont worry the media will throw Coach softball questions and nothing will ever legitimately be asked. Even though they need to ask how does he plan on fixing the problem....

Easy question, Coach, you know LSU fans are some of the most passionate in the the business. Right now they are all angry at the product on the field. How do you plan on fixing this situation? Do you plan on any coaching changes? When he responds with he isnt worried about what the fans think. That is when you hit him with well Coach you are aware that tax payers are the ones in Louisiana that are paying your salary?

His follow up was just as bad.. “when the defense struggles the fans go after the coordinator. How are you two working together to get it fixed.” It was a leading question that seems like it was planted.

Seems like all the local media guys are like that. Scared to lose access to the program. Moscona is the the only one who called out Kelly's BS.

Is he the one that asked that first question about fans going after the DC? That seemed so scripted to me and just pissed me off even more.

The press are treating him like the fricking brain damaged current President.
