You're the fricking head coach, you overpaid, belligerent jackass!

If we weren't doing what needed to be done, then why didn't you make them do what needed to be done?!?!?

"We had the answers. We just didn't use them." That's just complete horseshite!!!!!!

I think I'd rather have Les back than listen to this imbecile for another week. At least we knew Les had some kind of mental deficiency. This guy is supposed to be smart, but he does and says stupid shite all the time.

And that's when the media should have asked Kelly exactly what were the answers Sloan had to the rush 3 drop 8? And also do you think they were good answers?

That’s the “injury” we don’t throw to the left because it’s too much torque on his whatever is hurting abs/oblique.

Looks like Kelly and Nuss are both unprepared for this season.

I would’ve asked coach: “well, if you were prepared, but didn’t run enough of that scheme — shouldn’t you correct the OC issue as Head Coach?”

I want him to explain exactly what he had planned to attack the 3 line 8 drop defense. I want to know what to watch for from this fraud so we can watch it in all our future games, because LaTech exposed our weakness and every team is going to make the fraud show how he plans to attack it. I think he is lying and they had nothing, because they didn't change a thing, and he knows it.

And we did, we had answers. But we needed to do more of it. And at 86% three-down drop 8, you gotta have some other answers. So that's what I didn't like about the game plan is that we needed more answers.



LES MILES YOU GET OUT OF BRIAN KELLYS BODY RIGHT NOW

There's only one answer for that defense - Nuss has to take the free 10-15 yards it gives him. Eventually they have to change. His absolute complete avoidance of any risk of physical contact has cost us multiple games.


People keep saying this. They weren’t dropping 8 guys 20 yards deep. In zone, most of them would be facing the line of scrimmage, and they played a good bit of it Saturday. A guy like Nuss isn’t getting more than 2-5 yards most plays before they close on him.

Now, should he take those yards occasionally? Sure. But don’t fool yourself. He’s not fast enough, especially right now, to get more vs those numbers.

It takes a more mobile QB to rack up yards vs a drop zone, but they really earn their keep breaking out of the pocket and burning man coverage. And that’s the situation where Nuss is also better off running. If he can catch the D in man on a rollout or if the DEs overrun the edge, that’s when he can go get 10-15 while most of the secondary and LBs still have their backs turned.

Somebody needs to ask him how McElroy was able to correctly predict the play they were going to run multiple times.


To be fair, he also called Kiffin’s 4th down play that ended the game. He just had the route going to the other side of the field.

He never even said that much about House. It was “we’ve simplified the defense,” and that came a couple of weeks after it happened.

We won’t get any more than that this year, but if he says they’ve “simplified the offense” and we start seeing some differences, you’ll know what’s happening.

I didn’t see evidence of any answers. Even with a three man defensive front we couldn’t open up holes for the running game and they were still getting to the quarterback.

He’s not going to throw his o-line or o-line coach under the bus to the media. It doesn’t matter how much yall want him to.

Figure that fu king shite out by early 3rd quarter and move under center with multiple backs or onto MVB and get some run part of RPO n play.

His response makes zero sense and just pisses me off even more.

I can go without ever seeing Thomas line up in the back field running the football again.

"Hey coach what can we do to beat their drop 8?"

"I think we should run draw on 2nd and 10 even though it averages less than a yard per carry... maybe it'll work this time... even though they know it's coming"

BK is like Miles and Orgeron had a baby and this is what they made. He's absolutely baffling. He is awful.
