LSU needs a change on defense now, not at the end of the season. An interim DC would be better that what they now have.

This message brought to you by Charmin, the official toilet paper of the LSU defense.

Play the right personnel, for starters. Apply performance measures to the players — if you miss an assignment or tackle, you’re on the bench. No position is safe because of seniority.

If that doesn’t work, get a new DC who can scheme with the personnel we have or recruit.

This is a horrible horrible horrible inexcusable statistic and a complete reflection of the coaching staff. So glad we hired a coach that brought that soft arse shite he was known for at ND. We were warned.
