re: Does BK give Sloan a talking to

It’s as if they had every remaining play scripted at halftime and they couldn’t stray from the script.
This is also BK's style
He has a gameplan, and he doesn't adjust much, if at all.
If his perfect gameplan doesn't work, he blames the players then adds but I'm the coach so I guess it's my fault

I think it was just a zone with no read

Ok so who would you have hired? Don’t say Saban…

So we’re already making excuses for this season.
Last year it was the defense as a whole. This year it’s not the offensive players it’s the offensive situational play calling.
At what point do we say ok BK this is on you. He’s proven to have potential to be a great coach then at times shits the bed.
For example: his coaching in the 22 Auburn game was great. Same season his coaching in the A&M game was unacceptable. It goes back to him letting his foot off the gas and assuming we’ll take care of an opponent.
Biggest win to date is still that Bama 22 game. I would throw 23 Arkansas in there as well.

somebody needs to give BK a talking to

The same rant that told me during the first quarter of the ND/aTm game that Denbrock sucked, and that it was actually Sloan making the offense happen last year, is now telling me that Sloan doesn't know what he's doing.

Honestly all things considered there weren’t a ton of great options out there. He was and is the guy for the job. We need stability. Not another flash in the pan like O.
Napier would not have worked. Jimbo would have ran the program into the ground. Matt Rhule might have been good but it would have taken longer than we’d like. Aranda would be a fan favorite but again don’t think he has the fire to go week in and out as a HC here.

Two sides to this coin. You don't want to micromanage like O did. But how for the love of all things can you not be like "why TF are we running up the middle right now? throw the F'n ball!"

Then I don’t understand all the bitching about BK
Posted on 9/4/24 at 8:50 am to tigerfoot
Nuss could have kept the ball a few times for nice gains and first downs....

No excuse for Lacy not in 2nd half game plan

they were vital to promote to Co-Offensive Coordinators due to Underwood, recruiting and continuance, and our QB and WR development. You just don’t replace coaches like these.
I understand that is why they were hired IMO that doesn’t make it the right hire . If they don’t improve as the season goes along and we crap the bed and go 8-4 then there are no guarantees this class stays together. My point to my post was Kelly needs to have a more sense of urgency and should have recognized what USC was doing and made the change It’s kind of simple. If they stack the box pass and if not call more runs. Recognizing that after the game like he said in his presser does no good.

BK, with his highly overrated O-line wanted to impose his will with the running game in the 2nd half, and failed.
LSU had 12 rushing attempts in the first half. 13 in the second half. So it's wrong that BK wanted "to impose his will with the running game in the 2nd half" given LSU had almost the same amount of rushing attempts in each half. But even if it is true, it was working in the 3rd quarter...which was LSU's best quarter rushing. The had 68 yards on 7 carries.
As far as the running game is concerned, after a deeper look, two things went wrong. (1) The TEs were awful at blocking (remember when everyone said Markway leaving wasn't a big deal?). Taylor is, at very best, adequate. Pimpton was getting destroyed...on the off chance he hit someone. (2) Nussmeier never pulled the ball on a zone read. That allowed USC's ends/edge to crash, unblocked, without any concern whatsoever the QB may beat them around the edge.
LSU did not play poorly overall. It's simply that USC made more key plays when they had to. LSU didn't. Two play in particular. On the drive after LSU got a 4th down stop in the 4Q LSU rushed to the line for a 3 & 1. I don't love that approach, but the play failed because neither TE blocked anyone. The second was with 2:00 to go on 2nd & 8 Nussmeier threw his worst pass of the night when he missed Anderson on rollout. Anderson likely picks up the 1st down with a good pass. That then would have forced USC to use its last TO and allowed LSU to drain the clock under a minute where, worst case scenario, the get a tying FG, but leave USC with little time for a drive in regulation. On 3rd down Nussmeier then sends Lacy in motion...then stops him...then confusion ensues...leading to an incomplete pass and penalty.
Juxtapose that with USC. LSU jumps offside. USC takes the free play and hits a TD pass. On the final drive the USC WR beats Ryan and makes a one handed catch, knowing he's about to get hammered. That set them up for the GW TD. LSU made two mistakes (Burns offsides; Ryan doesn't jam the WR) and USC made them pay.
LSU had chances to make winning plays. They didn't make enough of them. USC did.

What were the % of total plays?
I imagine we ran bit more total plays in 1H.

It's very likely no zone reads were ever called, with Nuss at QB.
Now, the perfect time to run that would have been the hurry up 3rd and 1, but we just ran an inside Zone, no read (or RPO to a wide-open Lacy)

That's the problem with our run scheme, and has been under BK, even when we had Daniels. Too much shotgun telegraphing our plays and not enough variance.

People bitched about Saban. That’s what they do. Hell even Bama fans had times when they were thinking Saban needs to step down.
I still believe that if Les and O can win titles here then so can BK. Just look at how close he got ND and how often they were in the mix with a 4 team CFP. That’s a pressure cooker job much like LSU but LSU has way better access to talent. So… connect the dots.
BK will be fine. The only red flag I would say is his age. He’s getting up there so he doesn’t have forever like he did at ND

Nuss made an audible on the first touchdown play
And how do you know this? I mean , we may see a pre-snap shift or reset, but how do we know if the shifts were part of the original call? And hollering stuff at the LOS can be just window dressing or distraction, same as shifts…???

I don’t know why people are pretending that Brian Kelly is a NC caliber coach. He’s never sniffed a NC. We paid all that money for a name
The way I see it, BK was an expensive but low risk coach. He won’t win a NC, but a bad HC hire, a high risk/high reward guy, could have set this program back way further than Orgeron did. Florida won’t recover ANY time soon.
BK at least made us a decently respectable football school again. Woodward was in a tight spot. BK isn’t an amazing coach but he’s a big name for a reason, he does win, and Woody had to go after the big name.
But JFC it does not take a 10 million dollar coach to not have a second half like Sunday. I know I’m a broken record but arm chair coaches have no business being more aware than the actual coaches.

What kind of multi million dollar coach doesn’t realize the run isn’t working.
The thing is, the run actually worked pretty well in the second half outside 1 drive.
First Drive.
1st: 3 yard run
2nd 4 yard run
3rd: 2 yard pass
2 rushes setting up 3rd and short isn’t a failure.
Second Drive Emery ran for 29, 10 and 3 yards and Jackson ran for 3. Ended with a TD.
3rd Drive: Emery ran 2 times for 6 and 4 yards. Drive ended on 2 incomplete passes.
4th Drice. Emery ran twice and lost 5 and lost 1. This is the only drive that failed because of the run game.
Last Drive: 9 play drive. 3 runs. and we ended the drive again on 2 incomplete passes.
We weren’t out there running running running and killing every drive because we wouldn’t pass.

LSU ran the ball for a 4.5 average per carry
Posted on 9/4/24 at 9:17 am to TN Tygah
The revelation of getting our best WRs involved in the 2nd half was mentioned by my wife and kids who were barely watching the game. Yet our millionaire coaches couldn’t figure that out as they ran for no gain time and time again. That makes me not trust them.
