re: Will Coach O wanting a 4-3 so bad cost him His job?

-4 with 2 edge is base for regular/rushing formations

in nickel, which is the majority of the time, you'll have 2 edge and 2 interior DL, so there is no magical confusion

coverage is the issue, not the line

Still disagree with you 100%, the advantage of the 3-4 is the QB does not know 100% who is the 4th rusher, that is the DC's trump card in that he as options of who to send at QB and then play a different coverage with other 3 LB's and in the formation with the Rams, you have the safety down at about 10 yards at well, could send Him and drop all 4 LB's to cover the TE's and H-backs.

In nickel, you might take out one of the LB's and replace with Safety or CB but still have the same advantage, the 3 LB's on the field, 1 will rush the other 2 will cover, more multiples.

We agree to disagree.

No. Being completely inept as a head coach is what will cost him job

Don't know what the obsession was with going back to a 4-3 when our roster wasn't built for it

Have you seen our LBers? Our roster is not built for a 3-4 either.

Does it really matter 4-3 or 3-4. Someone said earlier that the defense was built for a 3-4. So what then was the problem in 2020? Guys have had a lot of time to figure out scheme and assignments. They lack on the field leadership like a devin white calling D play adjustments.

All true, 2020 LSU had the personnel to run 3-4 before they all started transferring in the spring. Even taking into account the adjustments to the crossing routes (might be personnel related as well), I think, just my opinion, harder to recruit to run a 4-3 these days, harder to find 8 guys for a 2 deep 4 man front that can play the run and pass rush equally well. But that is just me, I have always liked a 3-4 better than 4-3.

Yes
