re: Will Campbell discusses Players Meeting with Reporter. Video link from “X” site in comment

Little late for this realization, even if it is true, and not just a bunch of regurgitated coach speak. He has been a major disappointment along with several of our supposed 'star' players.
I don't blame them specifically. I believe a coaches job is to put players in positions to be successful. It should be painfully clear to everyone that that hasn't happened in any phase of our team. Just rededicating the team to try harder is one of the most ridiculous ideas possible to make this team perform. They are poorly coaches to succeed and they are not motivated to succeed and they know that what they are told to do isn't going to succeed. They have a bevy of film that tells them that every time they watch it.
Need new players with talent coached by new coaches that recognize talent and can put talent in position to succeed regardless of the opposition. LSU is severely lacking in that and they prove it week after week. We all know what doing the same thing over and over is called....and that is where we are.

Hard to take leadership seriously from the guys who are committing the same mistakes every game.

Will Campbell discusses Players Meeting

Hopefully he asked in the meeting what the snap count was.

That is fine, now what will they do about it?

We see you don’t know anything about football. They watch film. Mistakes are pointed out.

We had to outbid a team to get Sage Ryan back, but purchasing a very good player like Walter Nolan would not have been good for team unity. How’d that work out?

Way to go Brian Kelly

The simple answer is that Nuss is not a run threat so defenses will continue to crash every single time. Sloan calls Zone Reads with the wrong personnel. Nuss actually sells the Zone Read but defenses never bite on it.

That really is one massive part of it. The offense does not match the players. Instead of adapting based on personnel like Baker had to, Sloan and Kelly decided to run the same offense without the cornerstone of a mobile QB.

I’m sorry but it’s the coach that has to enforce a standard!. If a player isn’t up to that standard then that coach that’s being paid millions needs to do his fricking job to get that player to perform at the highest level

All you have to do is hear one of you criticize Kelly for running the "zone read option" which they don't.Not saying they shouldn't do it a couple of times a game to keep them honest. And I can point to at least 10 instances in FL game where players WERE put in position to make plays and didn't that would have been the difference in the game and there would be no criticism of Nuss. Not saying Kelly hasn't made mistakes but you can't drop passes. Drop interceptions. Step out of bounds on a 20 yd catch and whiff on catchable balls and say it's all coaching. All of those plays had players in position to make the plays and they didn't. That is a fact. Again not saying Kelly is above criticism for some things but if those plays are made we are having a different conversation today.

On the offensive line absolutely its the players not executing.

The DBs and DL issues are players not executing but part of that is coaching because they keep putting DBs out there specifically Safeties that cannot or will not make plays. We cannot make Touchdown saving tackles to save our lives.
