I think part of the problem was the O line which has led to problems with the run game. That being said, teams started realizing that you could use 3 & 4 man rushes and break through the line and drop 7 or 8 in coverage. So now Nussmeier is seeing too many of "them" as opposed to us. Sure our guys are getting open downfield, but it is now taking longer to find the seems and gaps, and with his line being so weak he stats doble guessing. To counteract that, he's relying on short passes and screens.....only problem is, that is what the defense wants


KiwiHead his the nail on the ole kiwi head here. I think Nuss is just a really easy guy to gameplan against now that his OLine is hot garbage. Even when he does have a clean pocket, he’s throwing at 7-8 defenders.
You guys really don’t think outside of the echo chamber, do you? Like…you think Brian Kelly and Jimbo Fisher were the “worst” hires of what? All-time? The past ten years?

Hires aren’t made knowing what the results will be. If Jimbo didn’t take the A&M job, guess what, he would have been hired at LSU. Brian Kelly was an awesome hire, on paper. He was 26-3 in his last three seasons at Notre Dame. I mean…how could you think he was complacent? But, it happened.

Scott is the devil we know, and he’s made some good hires. I don’t get the widespread hate. Alleva? I got it. He was a fricking moron. Woodward at least makes hires that make sense.
Here’s an interesting thing…I feel like we’ve been calling for outside runs and screen passes for years now. Like honestly, back in the late Miles days.

I feel like we’ve never done that, actually. I wonder why.
The fricking real indicator for me is how bad special teams has been his whole tenure, particularly kick coverage. What’s worse is once a game we get cute and get it to the goal line and they return it to the 45 or worse like fricking clockwork. Like, how far up your arse is your head to think you have the coverage to do that?
A pretty easy thing to do. Not a top 50 city or anything.
Wait…is there any video of this? I can’t find anything.

When national press, analysts on TV, major networks, sports writers start sounding like WE do? Thats a problem tbe University, the boosters, the “Program” can’t ignore.


I see the logic here, but it doesn’t really hold up. The media is an echo chamber of wish fulfillment, meaning they just want views and clicks and they see a fan base here that’s looking to have their thoughts and feelings validated. Thats easy pickins’.

Not that’s it’s untrue, but it would be silly for anyone to base money decisions on what the national media pundits are saying, and this is coming from someone that’d like to see Kelly fired tomorrow.

Saban was an extremely good cultural fit. The problem is that most people, including you, are too dumb to differentiate between our coach being a good football cultural fit and being able to slide seamlessly into the average neighborhood in Lafitte Parish. He’s not from Louisiana but he was a cool young coach who had fire and hired great assistants and epitomized a brand of football that the Louisiana and Texas kids excelled at. That’s a far cry from some lazy dorky wine connoisseur that hangs out at Baton Rouge Country Club all weekend with Woodward and thinks full contact practices are a bad thing. BK is a terrible cultural fit in the context of being a football coach and that’s a fact


I wish I could upvote this into infinity. Nothing left unsaid here.
I have been a big Kelly fan since he’s been hired. I thought he would bring stability and hire the right guys, and the teams would play with toughness. I remember watching his Notre Dame teams get after it.

I am officially done with him. The program is headed in the wrong direction. Makes terrible hires. Has no clue who this team is and what their deficiencies are. Wants to take the soft approach to his teams, but it just makes them soft. He’s a bad, bad fit.
I’m not worried about the defense. If we had last years offense this year, we’d be talking NC right now.
I’ve had faith in BK up until this week, actually. A lot of the things he’s been dealing with can be explained away pretty effectively. The Matt House debacle was a red flag, but the 2022 defense was good enough, so it’s hard to really know what happened.

If he replaces Nuss for South Carolina, it will restore some faith in him. That’s the most obvious fix to make right now. You have a QB who is no threat to run and almost just as inept at stretching the defense right now.

MVB at the very least, gives you a way to make the defense hesitate with his running ability. After what he showed vs SLU it looks like he may be able to make a defense respect the deep ball as well.

Kelly needs to win this year with this team. If he had Andrew Hatch as his backup QB, I’d say we’re stuck. But he doesn’t. He’s got a potential solution. If he hitches his wagon to Nuss and tanks the rest of the season, he’s going to lose the team. They’re not fricking stupid. No one’s gonna want to stick around for a coach who’s going to waste the draft potential of the receivers and tight ends he brought in just for fricking Nuss.


I honestly believe with a running QB, it would open up the run game. It’s not like we didn’t run it well at times.

Also if Nuss could complete deep balls. We’re just so fricking predictable it’s easy to defend the run. We’ve got a QB who is no threat to run or beat you over the top. The Oline isn’t great but they had good moments. Nuss had a lot of time and instead of running, he’d throw into triple coverage or check it down.

Not to mention our other RB in the depth chart is at Southern because of charges.

Must not be a basketball fan. Most people would probably argue Ben Simmons for that role.

I mean…honestly…how can you respect his opinion? He spends a couple minutes talking about how Nussmeier’s arm isn’t elite.

???????

Has he even watched Nussmeier play? If there’s one thing Nuss has always possessed, it’s elite arm strength. Look at that cross body throw to Parker. It was on display right there in the game. Just silly.
Man, Honky Badger had a play on Saturday where Klubnik was trying to take a draw up the middle. Whit sniffed it out and slipped the guard and blew it up at the los. It was impressive.

There were multiple plays from Perk where I said out loud, “Perk is a monster.” If he keeps it up for an entire season, he’s an AA and we’re saying him and White are a wash impact-wise.
