LSU will look to salvage its season against No. 2 Alabama on Nov. 14, but coach Ed Orgeron said beating the Tigers' SEC West rivals isn't the primary focus of the bye week.
"We've got to fix us first," he said.
The defense has been a particular sore spot, giving up 33.6 points per game, which ranks 12th in the SEC. In previous weeks, Orgeron said the defense needed to be simplified in order to perform better. But coming off the loss to Auburn, his tone had changed.
"We've simplified as much as we can simplify, to be honest with you," he said.
With that said, Orgeron did his best to project confidence as he spoke to reporters during his regular weekly news conference. He said the players haven't lost their motivation and the coaching staff remains united.
"I feel positive about what's going on," he said.
In fact, Orgeron went so far as to reference last season's championship team.
"We're not that far away," he said. "We've got to get better coaching. We've got to get better players. This is LSU and we're going to do that."

Is this code for the NCAA is looking over our shoulder so we aren't sneaking through stolen children hospital funds to players anymore which was a rather complex process?

Well... maybe you've simplified too much then. "We've made the defense so simple even a brain damaged goldfish could do it" doesn't exactly put your players in a good light.
Maybe the words he is looking for is our players aren't where they need to be because we've not trained them to be there.

Ed O is not the answer for LSU. I loved the early Miles era games between Alabama and LSU because they always promised a good slobber knocker, even perhaps in his later years.
History has shown coaches thrown into high pressure roles from mediocre schools that have a short burst of success early on often fail in the long term. I don’t know what LSU fans were expecting from an Ole Miss hire but this is what you get when you settle.

Sounds like the coaches who could teach these knuckleheads are gone and isn't anyone there that knows what the hell to do. O certainly can't help out other than rah rah speech everyone into a coma.

Sounds like a direct quote from Bielema, but with tears.

Didn't realize Saban or Miles were the coach of LSU in 2018

I feel positive that LSU fans are feeling about the same way about Orgeron that Auburn fans felt about Gene Chizik aka that Orgeron had a lot less to do with LSU winning that NC than did the players on that team and the coaches who are gone now.

Who signed the players and hired the coaches?
Exactly. Pipe down sweetie.
