BK has fixed the offense and possibly regressed the defense but that part is also fixable. He’ll handle house and do what’s needed. Even with the challenges, LSU has shown flashes of what an elite team could look like. Downvote away

I won’t downvote you. But we could only go up from 2020-2021…

Now we are going down from last year.

If he can’t recruit and land kids in portal then he won’t be going in a better direction.

I believe in Nuss but I think we are going to see just how much Jayden meant to this offense next season.

I still think BK wins a national championship at LSU. Maybe 2.

The truth is we’ve lost 3 games on the road to top 10 teams. We need to win these next 3 though. No excuses to not finish 9-3

The recruiting losses in state are concerning.

He has a good record in hiring DC’s. Obviously this is not one of those instances (House), but I think he’ll get it fixed.

You judge direction by recruiting momentum. I don’t think the prognosis is great.

Defensive staff needs to be gutted, and hopefully the recruiting issue is really just a problem with House + not something deeper like a budget issue.

If it were me I wouldn’t even wait for the end of the season — All your preseason goals are off the table after this weekend.

I am proud of the team and their efforts. They continue to make progress from being under previous leadership.

Coaches need to step up and figure out landscape for pulling in top defensive freshman and transfers the next two years.

We went from nationally ranked #5 SEC West champs to probably being unranked at the end of the season. You think we’re “headed in the right direction”? What planet are you people from?

I would agree with you, but recruiting doesn't suggest that he's done anything other than catch lightning in a bottle with JD5 and we are 2 years away from offensive stats reminiscent of 2011 with next year being a much less productive offense but still decent because of the oline

Recruiting losses are much more concerning than the on field play

If you can’t land the top DL instate, you’re going to have the exact same defense next year

The offense is in good shape, even going forward despite what some of the idiots here think. But the defense didn’t possibly regress. That is irrefutable at this point.

I get the reason for hiring House at the time (previous SEC success as a DC, a scheme that looks to be a good fit vs modern offenses), but it isn’t working. They are 100% going backwards now. More than a few players look checked out and if a bye week didn’t have any impact, then it’s beyond fixing.

I agree with you that Kelly will likely move on now. His three DC hires before House were all great successes, so hopefully he gets back to that and we get back on track. But there’s no guarantee even the right hire fixes this defense in one season.

Guess you haven't seen our roster for next year, our defense will more than likely be worse if that's even possible and we lose our talent on the offense.

Compared to 20 and 21, clearly, but is that now the standard? If we do not win the SEC in the next 3 years then BK will probably be a mega fail.

Have you seen Nuss in action this year? The offense will need fixing next year whether or not the defense improves. Nuss in practice is much better than Nuss in a game.
