LSU's Brian Kelly was on the SEC Coaches Teleconference Wednesday morning and was asked if they have considered making a change at quarterback with Garrett Nussmeier's recent struggles over the last two games.

Kelly made it clear they are sticking with Nussmeier but knows they need to get some things fixed.

Can someone please ask him why we didn’t try to get a better center in the portal?

Or better RBs, guards, safeties, at least depth at linebacker, etc., LSU needs at least 1 (in some cases more than 1) of everything.

He keeps reminding us about his 30 years of coaching experience. I wish we could tell by the product he had field that head coach was very experienced!

Not giving Collins any snaps during garbage time is very telling of this coaching staff

Collins looks like garbage. Thats why you don’t see him

You haven't even seen him to judge that. He looked decent in practice when Nuss was throwing ints everywhere. That's all we have to go on.

"Can we make things easier from a coaching standpoint? Getting back to basic fundamentals will help Garrett and us get where we want to go."

Vanilla as it is coach. Why did you go there if the easier route was better?

My 0 years of coaching experience also tells me that an overwhelmed QB needs to simplify the offense to get back on track. Great insight Brian

At this point in the season Nuss is not going to improve his footwork. It’s not going to happen. He looks the exact same as he did against USC.

Lsu needs a qb that is more mobile. Would guess nuss goes pro or transfers after this season.

I'm not sure what his draft stock will be after this season.

idlewatcher6 months
Yup. He was riding high after the first couple games. He very well may need to come back for another year to improve his stock

God i hope he goes pro. He can get a 3rd round grade. We need mobility at the position. Let's say we don't use Underwood yet, there are plenty one year rentals with mobility that i would love to have. My favorite would be John Mateer from Washington St.

Can't the backups put on those 3D headsets and get into that VR room and get better on their own...w/o being on the practice time clock, so to speak?

Ain't that why JD made such a leap in year 2?

Why don't we look at importing some Sumo wrestlers from Japan for the OL/DL? They're big and have quick feet. Seriously.

Why not add some plays for Collins, or even "0" Z Thomas, counters, mix it up a little to open up the running game. If its just Nuss again sitting back there in drop back, nothing changes. CBK is turning into another Les, hardheaded. Open up the playbook and quit being tentative...

I'm not the "put the backup in" kind of guy but Nuss has struggled in a lot more than the last 2 games.
We should've lost to SC and Ole Miss

Yall have no clue what yall are talking about in reality. And it shows.

Every year LSU and Alabama had bye weeks before each other. Do you know what Miles and Saban both worked on during those weeks? The basic fundamentals of football. That was the biggest part of Saban’s whole “The Process” that they teach. There is never a time not to go back to the basics in reality.

A lot of negative comments regarding what Kelly said, but what exactly do you expect him to say? He not going to down talk his QB to the media! For Kelly that would be recruiting suicide. He said they did thier due diligence when deciding who would be the starting QB. That's just code for Hurley isn't ready. I'm sure BK has been harping fundamentals and footwork to Nuss all year. This might be news to us, but this is nothing new to Nuss. I don't have a problem with what he said. Praise in public, scold in private. One of the building blocks of a great leader.

Can he at least take him out for a play or two when he throws an egregious pick to make a point?

After the nuss int in the end zone would have been a great time to at least give Collins a shot to see what he could do. At that point LSU was still in the game. Apparently Collins is seen as good enough to run one series, so nuss can at least air the tires on his bus back up because they were flatter than a pancake. Not even one series just to see if Collins could provide a spark? 10 million dollar coach geez!
