What is CBK's game strategy? Is he known to make game-time adjustments?

One of the most frustrating things about Les Miles football was his inability to recognize when he needed to make game-time adjustments. Heck, he may have recognized it but just never prepared his team to make game-time adjustments so Les Miles team had nothing to adjust to. Talent and grit won all of Les' games. With a little more smarts for game-time adjustments he would probably still be at LSU with a couple more national championships.
Aranda appeared to be really good at making second half game-time adjustments. Well, at least they appeared like adjustments. It seemed that for big games Aranda always had the approach to play a base defense in the first half. It was frustrating at times because good opposition was able to capitalize during the first half of these games. But that approach usually lulled the opposition coaching staff into not making offensive halftime adjustments. Then in the second half Arnada would open up the defense with more D-line stunts, safety blitzes, stuff the opposing offense had never seen and it was pretty successful approach. In short Aranda was reserve in the first half and aggressive in the second half.
Continuing to look back at 2019, Joe Burrow with Coach E. and Brady were king of game-time adjustments. What they did against Clemson in the National Championship game after Clemson was having early defensive success was NFL level. After iso-ing Chase with the Clemson corner and having success, Clemson couldn't counter or did not know where or how to counter which broke their defense and the rest is history.
IMO if you can recognize were you need to make game-time adjustments, are prepared to make those adjustment, you are light years ahead of most college football teams. Again, LSU 2019 is a premier example of a college football team that could make adjustments on the fly. In fact Nick Saban couldn't keep up with Joe Burrow's wits on the field versus Alabama. Burrow beat Saban.
That 2019 LSU team set the college standard for game-time adjustments.
Will we ever see something at LSU again at that level? I'm sure CBK makes game-time adjustments, I'm just trying to understand what to expect from his teams in terms of game-time adjustments.

With how many games he has won at multiple stops, I would imagine he’s very good as making game-time adjustments.
This first year will probably be rough by LSU standards (7 wins) but it will start taking off in year 2

I know you are an Ole Miss guy and that is one thing I respect about Lane Kiffin. He has a really good ability to make game-time adjustments. Also he is really good at game planning in terms of getting defenses into tendencies then countering against those tendencies. I think Lane's biggest challenge is getting his team to recognize defenses and execute his concepts real time.

I don't see this as a 7 win team at all. I think we'll surprise a lot of people if our O-line plays to their potential and our LB corps get coached up. DL will be a strength and I don't see a ton of drop off with our DB's. Bernard-Converse was a huge get. I think whoever we trot out at QB will shine with plenty of weapons to throw to. Expecting a lot from Emery this year. He ran hard as hell in the spring game. I've got us going 9-3 in the regular season with a bowl win giving us a 10 win season in Kelly's first year. 10-2 wouldn't shock me. Any better than that and I'll be a little surprised

I don't see it, this team has less talent than a lot of the teams Ed and Les trotted out, far less depth as well.
Having very little depth will absolutely lose us some games this year.
I'm happy if we go 8-4.

Less talented than the JV squad they trotted out there last year?? Lol
Now I don’t see that
Now I don’t see that

That team absolutely had more depth for most of the first half of the year.

Less talent? Than last year? Cmon now. I agree with less depth, not talent. We'll be fine without Sting and Rick's. Just watch.
I think we'll steal a game and make it to 9-3. If we come out and beat the living shite out of Florida State I'll feel a lot better about the season. Wish we'd schedule a weak 0 game.

One thing Kelly will have at LSU that he had limited at ND is skill position players. You think he ever had a guy like Boutte at ND? They’ve had decent to good players on the outside. But never game changers like that. And he’ll have them in spades down here. Add that kind of talent with his coaching, it’s a dangerous combination

Like Ed, Kelly intends to surround himself with elite assistant coaches.
Unlike Ed, Kelly can actually succeed at doing that as he is a respected commodity.
Also unlike Ed, Kelly himself knows a little bit about the intricacies of the game.

When Ed said that Joe Burrow was the smartest man in the room concerning him, Coach E, and Brady in offensive game planning meetings, I believed him and still believe him.

Well, that's pretty fricking bold.

Throwing to Chase wasn't an "adjustment"
We simply stopped getting starting position inside the 10 where we could be less conservative.

Don't forget if they focus on Boutte, Bech will make them pay.
