Bama coaching staff >>> LSU coaching staff

First off congratulations on the National Championship Bama. Your team came to New Orleans and kicked LSU's arse.

I would have never said this before last night but Bama's coaching staff is much better than LSU's and I say this for a couple of obvious reasons.

First LSU has arguably the best defensive player in the country, and Bednarik winner in Tryann Mathieu. He has made more plays than any other defensive player in the country because the LSU coaches found ways to get him around the ball. (Zone, blitzes, etc.) Last night the defensive scheme did the exact opposite of that. I do no remember seeing him blitz once. He was locked in man to man coverage with Bama's painfully average receivers and the only times he did get around the ball were perfectly thrown corner routes by McCarron. The fact that the SCHEME kept Mathieu out of Bama's backfield in ridiculous IMO, especially when the team needed a spark which usually comes from the defense or special teams. (And it's time for you Bama fans to admit that Maze and Hanks are not very good.)

Second, LSU stopped the best RB in college football until TR's garbage time TD when the game was already in hand. For 3 1/2 quarters he did NOTHING which is very impressive IMO. When you can hold Trent Richardson in check you should be able to stop Bama's offense, but we didn't. While stopping Trent was great the fact that we couldn't even slow McCarron down on his dump offs to the TE's and receivers in the flats was pathetic. LSU didn't get any pressure on McCarron with our front four and it didn't even seem like they were considering blitzing. LSU let McCarron sit back there and pick his throws all night. Bama's line dominated LSU's front four the entire game.

And last was our offense. What can you say about it? It was humiliating to watch last night. There were absolutely NO wrinkles or changes from what we did in the first game. LSU was dominated by Bama's D in the first half. Then came out in the second half and did the exact same thing while continuing to be dominated by Bama's D. The coaches made NO offensive adjustments. It was like watching a person smash their head against a break wall, then stop and think about it for a minute, walk back to the same exact spot on the wall and start smashing their head again while screaming IT HAS TO BREAK EVENTUALLY!!!


Overall this team was not prepared at all last night. The coaches did a horrible job game planning and then an even worse job making adjustments in the game. this loss is 100% on the coaches. You will never again hear me say that Les Miles is better than Nick Saban. Saban and his staff showed that they are in a different class than Miles and his staff last night.


And I know tl;dr.
