I am glad he didn't answer it...no need to let our opponents in on his thinking...

I agree about strategy. What I don’t agree with is him deflecting and using terms like “us” and “specific coaches but him”. He is accountable for the offense. Him and him alone. Not all the other coaches. Any generic answer would have been fine. Not once did he say “I” need to… accountability.

Don't disregard Ol' Kinderhook. He may play a significant role in Sloan's gameplan

This is all actually incorrect being that Alex Atkins is the run game coordinator so Sloan was indeed correct by using the term "us".

quote:

LSU hired Alex Atkins as its tight ends coach in February in an attempt to beef up Brian Kelly’s coaching staff this fall. Atkins is the former offensive coordinator at Florida State, and also serves as the Tigers’ run game coordinator.

Atkins has been in the coaching industry since 2007, where he has the most experience coaching the offensive line. A offensive guard himself during his playing career, however, he did coach tight ends at his alma mater, Tennessee–Martin, in 2008. He last served as RGC during his stint at Tulane in 2018.

“Alex is a veteran coach, and you know, anytime that you can add somebody that has had the kind of career that he’s had, and influencing, in particular, as a coordinator and as a run game coordinator, you’re adding another piece to a championship program,” Kelly said after fall camp practice earlier this week. “And so that experience, that success, that confidence, that ability to really focus on a run game just makes us a better football team.”

I'm amazed sometimes at how uninformed some are about their own team.

It wasn’t about atkins dumbass. I was referring to his specific play calling. Unless your uninformed arse reads, then stay out of a conversation. Go listen to Baker addressing the same question and he used “I” learning his personnel. While not a direct answer, it was accountability. Why some of you are dumbasses.

Nice melt you frickin tool. You are too stupid to realize that the offense is a collective of minds involved in preparation & game planning between Sloan, Hankton & Atkins while the defense basically falls on Baker & Baker alone. Dumbass learn the frickin make up of the coaching staff before you make dumbass posts that you wanna bitch after getting called out for.

So none of the other coaches have any accountability to do anything in game to assist Baker? Is that what you’re saying? They have NOTHING to do with preparation of the defense for the opponent or game planning? I say save all those salaries and fire all of them but Baker.

The fact is Baker stated he adapted his play calling to fit his players. Sloan could have stepped up and said the same thing EXCEPT Kelly had to take over for him last season.
Sloan has ZERO accountability of himself and his press conference reflected that.
And for the record, you are absolutely wrong on calling the plays. Play calling is reading the game and adjusting by putting your plan in place to help your team be successful with that plays your coaches taught them. Once in game it is too freaking late to “game plan”. You adjust based on what your team is seeing and what you’re seeing the defense do to you.

Did Sloan say he learned anything about his play calling when he was asked a direct question in his most recent press conference ie how he can improve? NO
Did Baked say anything in his? YES. He didn’t say what he was doing differently but gave the reason why the defense improved.

If you can't tell the difference between the coach's responsibility then that’s your own fault. You typed a bunch of nonsense basically saying just that.

That's because Baker doesn't have other hands in the pot. No one should have to explain the obvious to you.

Sloan has ZERO accountability 


He has zero accountability because he used "us" & "we" at press conference? You are a frickin joke. He was obviously using those terms because Hankton is the passing game coordinator & Atkins is the running game coordinator which makes the preparation, game planning & play calling a team effort. Only an idiot wouldn't be able to understand that.

EXACTLY AND for the record when your pissant arse gets to the level of business I did in my career, MAYBE you’ll understand what it means when asked a direct question and giving a direct answer. Transparency is EVERYTHING for a leader. Otherwise, you’ll be just another cog in the wheel and discussed in the next round of cuts. Teflon works to a certain point. Kelly will fire him if he shits the bed again this season.
He used to”right” over and over to try to FOOL weak minded people as a trick to agree with him. Lambs like you can’t see the difference.

He should avoid press conferences if he can’t do better than that.

Sloan is weak and doesn’t take ownership.

Baker is not.

Sloan in his words NEVER ONCE said he could improve.

Baker did.

How’s that for simplification.

Go listen to the transcripts from last year and this one. Go fricking listen to HIS words versus Baker.
