Kelly knows what’s going on, on defense, can list it, but seems clueless on how to fix it!

I'm 65 and I don't recall our defense ever looking like a bunch of junior high girls playing football in the RUGGED SEC. This is no place to play soft. I'm ashamed at our defense for not representing our state. Sturdy, Hardy, Physical, that's how we live but our defense is soft... No heart.

How would you do it as a 0 dollar coach?

Most would probably laugh but I would invite Catholic High and Zachary Highs coaches, two of the most successful coaches in the state to get in the faces of these players on defense before and during practice. Someone obviously needs to show Kelly how to reach our players, how to get it into their heads so they won’t ever forget what’s expected of them and what’s being taught.

I feel LSU players on defense are not being pushed hard enough to do what’s expected of them. Oh Kelly knows how to discipline players, he just doesn’t seem to know how to reach them and make them mentally.tough.

Right. Kelly just doesn’t want to fix it to frick with morons like the OP. 34 missed tackles. At some point a football player has to make a football play.

Never said nor implied that Kelly doesn’t want to fix what’s wrong. Please get your shite together before posting a response.

it’s that most of it is fixable and coachable.

I’m not defending the guy, I’m as aggravated as anyone else with the defense but, you even stated that Kelly said,”no one is walking through that door” and I took that as him saying’these are the players we currently have available.’

He added Pete Jenkins to the staff who I believe will join the staff tomorrow. At least he’s doing something instead of saying “if I knew how to fix it, I would.”

I get everyone, including myself, is ticked off at the poor showing the defense has had and I think a lot of these comments are based out of exactly that, frustration.


I also understand and agree with some of the questionable decisions he has made (starting Speights over Weeks, not playing Womack, giving Jefferson hardly any opportunities.)

A lot of y’all expect him to just waive a wand and fix the issues on defense just like that. We’re two days removed from the game.

If nothing happens and we keep getting these blah blah answers, then I’ll start to question his intentions. I hardly think he A. Doesn’t seem to know how to fix it and B. Doesn’t care.

I appreciate that you understand we are all frustrated. We have all witnessed in these last 4 years the greatest offensive performance ever by any college football team and now the worst defensive performance. Hard to fathom how both can occur so quickly especially with how much these coaches are now being paid.

I would think he tears into them during practice.

An you would be right. Have you seen him on the sidelines?

Whatever drills Kelly is having players on defense perform during the week isn’t working. That is an undeniable fact.

And I corrected my post by adding that it’s the worst “defensive” performance. Sorry for not making that part clear.

Well, at least I didn’t pretend to be a coach as others have. Like former players have told me, this is fixable and coachable. Also Kelly had transfers last year on defense so why are these transfers so bad tackling?

Pretend to be a coach? If you were saying your ABC's I'm sure you'd have to pretend your way through that.

Now you’re just trying to be an arse, which you seem to enjoy. It gets you off, I guess. LOL

Brian is an egotistical nitwit. He’s waiting for someone to walk through the door and fix it.
