This is on Brian
Brian has been coaching for 30+ years and should have seen this stuff from Sloan or Nuss for 6 months (if not longer).
He has short practices - super efficient. It's smart and for load management and injuries and such, just ask him. He's smarter than you and has coached for 30+ years.
Brian hired Matt House and had plans to retain him. I remember - LSU had to go rehire Baker and others he let go, well, because it was his idea no doubt. Polian was a ST coach and then didn't have 1.
Goes all in for this year (even got a ST coach from LA), but darn, forgot about the offense coaching. It was ok though since he is an OL/OT guru, runs effecient practices, coaches for 30+ years), hires LA, comes to LSU win a championship, 5th yr qb, can run the ball, etc.
100% on Brian's lazy arse

Joe Brady is/was the very best at that. We haven't had any where near that level of coaching since he left.

It’s pathetic a Blue Blood college football team promoted an OC specifically for a player (Underwood)
… even worse that he never even came.

I've heard from people inside the program that Kelly has a heavy hand on what we do on offense....

I really have no idea why LSU couldn’t do that. Goes out and pays Baker millions for being a proven DC.
But, Sloan clearly had offensive issues last year. Why not do the same for offense? Obviously money is always a factor, but I don’t see why they wouldn’t at least get another Baker level coordinator for offense because they have no issue spending boatloads of money on a team that may lose 5 games this year.

There is a theory of running our routes like this. But we can’t execute.
Forcing defenders to make choices in relatively small windows can overwhelm and confuse. But Nuss either can’t read it, can’t throw it, or we can’t execute it correctly.
Again, everything we try to do SHOULD work. Also, again, there is no way we execute in practice, yet we take the sane shut live for a year and a half.

This roster is already wasted. They're not going to magically just fix this offensive line.

Exactly. Route spacing has been one of the most glaring issues all year. Too many concepts bunching guys up in the same window and making it easy for defenders to cover two receivers at once. That’s either poor design or poor teaching, and either way it falls on Sloan. With the talent we’ve got at WR, there’s no excuse for not scheming them open.

Sloan sucks, but he was never demoted at LA tech

Well there is the legal obligation to pay O not to coach.
Just think of how much extra money the program would have to hire a better OC, if we weren’t still paying for the last HC.

On the interception in particular against Ole Miss in the redzone , you had a levels concept. It was either designed poorly or executed poorly. The intended receiver’s route was too deep in my opinion which made the play easier to make for the secondary. We had two receivers within a 5 yard radius which is asking for trouble against 8 in coverage.
Levels plays are perfect against drop coverage, especially zone coverage, to flood an area force defenders to leave someone open. But you are on the money- it has to be executed well. You have to stagger the routes and have enough separation, or you allow fewer defenders to cover everyone because the are too compact.
As for those knocking Sloan for the route trees- he didn’t come up with most of this playbook. A lot of this is still the 22-23 playbook with a few of his additions thrown in. This includes the route trees (which some here complained about when Denbrock was the OC).
The bigger (and negative) difference under Sloan is the sequencing of the these plays, the tailoring of what we use to the skills of the players, and the overall execution. A good playbook can look really bad in the wrong hands.
