At some point if guys aren't able to grasp the concepts you are throwing at them and play at full speed and don't show signs of improving enough at it you have to scale back.
People can say whatever they want about "Saban doesn't do that" but Saban also doesn't generally play seasons where his entire front center of the defense are 19 years old. You'd much rather have guys confidently doing simple things at max speed than trying to process difficult things at 75% speed. And we've been getting the latter, and LSU absolutely took full advantage of it.
This has become a recurring problem.

Yeah, I said this a while back about this DC in one of our game threads.
If they aren't understanding then simplify things so the kids can at least play full speed.
Hardest thing about changing teams and coorndinators for me was the significant changes in lingo and philosophy. I always struggled.

No you have to force the opposing OC to scale back. Look at how our DBs- clearly the most veteran group on the team- played. With a few exceptions in the 3rd & 4th quarter they played the same coverages/schemes that were picked apart this season and last.
To win o D in this era you have to reduce what opposing OCs are willing to call. If you have easy to read coverages or you are not taking away one aspect of the opponent's gameplan you are screwing yourself. It's no coincidence that LSU ran basically what they ran on their first drive when Bama closed the gap in the 4th quarter.
