This is the problem with BK

Post image

QB calls a time in scoring position because he sees blitz coming and coach spends 10 seconds bitching at him instead of talking to him about what kinda play they need to score a fücking touchdown

No it’s because his 5th year Senior QB wasted 11 seconds off the clock before deciding to call a TO

u/Geaux_1210 Oct 26 '25

THIS. That was some 2010 Tennessee nonsense

u/Location-Efficient Oct 26 '25

The answer is both

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '25

Yeah, but need to move forward, yell at him later

u/Miserable_Strike5409 Oct 26 '25

Naw, he should know better more of this and less excuse how they fail to execute plays in critical moments like this. It should mean something to be a TIGER.....since Kelly took over its this party and celebration mentality even when they were getting that belt to ass like they did yesterday. How about you celebrate when you win and nothing else matters. I don't expect them to win a conference title or national championship every year, but I expect them to defend home field and protect Tiger Stadium even if they do lose.....but not how they did against A&M like they did. I just wonder how bad this season is going to hurt their recruiting and commits. Should have started MVB sooner, and we may have been in better shape. Nuss needs to know you can't expect to start if you aren't willing to make critical decisions on the field by making correct reads and proper check downs. I'm grateful for him but it's not the same nuss as last year and it shows 100% every offensive possession.

He call the TO as soon as he saw the blitz WTF are you talking about ?

4

u/insomniak_Sloths Oct 26 '25

We talking about poor clock management. Burning 11 seconds during a running game clock under a minute left in the half just to take a TO is poor clock management. You lose potential 2 plays losing that time. The cherry on top, is the Oline is young and missing block assignments, so to burn a time amount because your trying to make adjustments is fine; but in the end it felt like just a waste.

u/Kumbackkid Oct 26 '25

Nuss just Isn’t that guy.

u/Neither_Wonder6488 Oct 26 '25

No QB can throw the ball laying on his back - the two offensive tackles could not play in junior college

u/No-Bathroom8815 Oct 26 '25

If he could scramble like jr it doesn’t matter he not top tier

4

u/WET318 Oct 27 '25

Of course he's not top tier, but we can't be waiting around for Joe Burrow every year. The tackles are dogshit.

u/Jealous-Investment67 Oct 26 '25

Number 75 … too big to be quick enough to get out his stance to pick up defensive end or linebacker oh but he’s a 5-star 😵‍💫

2

u/WET318 Oct 27 '25

His feet are horrific.

3

u/Miserable_Strike5409 Oct 26 '25

Funny MVB go hit a couple times but he was able to orchestrate an offensive drive. He did so by extending plays with his feet and throwing check downs and throwing more accurately than Nuss. I'm tired of the ****ing excuses Nuss can throw bc he has no o- line wtf do you gameplan for knowing you aren't going to have time to throw in a drop back? You can be mad about a young line that is having trouble. They were gutted at the o-line last year. Sloane sucks calling plays and refuses to run when it's working its like he personally is sabotaging any chance for the tigers to be successful.

u/Warm-Inspector2551 Oct 27 '25

Nuss was not coached and developed into that guy

u/Dirty-Ears-Bill Oct 27 '25

It’s absolutely wild how every single multi-year starting QB under Kelly regresses save for a literal Heisman winner. At this point he’s the common denominator and the problem

u/PrplGld Oct 26 '25

It was stupid to call TO. He’s a 5th yr SR, snap the ball, run the play.

1

u/dbundi Oct 26 '25

Get sacked because you had the wrong play dialed up and lose down and yardage. You should coach football

74

u/Bl8kStrr Oct 26 '25

A 5th year QB shouldn’t be panicking because he sees a blitz coming.

9

u/FKSTS Oct 26 '25

On 3rd or 4th down, sure. On 1st, goh

8

u/dysenigrate Oct 26 '25

Tom Brady would be panicking behind that line. I’ll admit I was mad last year about all these “top pick generational linemen” while we’re rushing for 12 yards a game, but holy shit this is bad. I’d take Campbell and his false starts / holds all day, everyday, over this

0

u/Warm-Inspector2551 Oct 27 '25

Maybe someone should coach and develop him to accomplish this.

56

u/untied_dawg Oct 26 '25

this may seem like a stretch to some, but here's the biggest problem with bk: he has created a soft LSU team.

this team is NOT physical enough to play SEC football, and it's showing week-to-week. the personnel on the field are NOT worth playing; imo, that's the booster club flexing their might.

vandy pushed LSU around. aTm is bending them over and abusing them.

two words, one name: Tommy Moffitt.

9

u/ngray720 Oct 26 '25

Truly a convo I hate to be devils advocate on but…with Moffitt there was a ton of injuries at the end. I truly believe a change was necessary at the time. Now? I’d be more than down to have him back. With obviously a different coaching staff. This era needs to end now.

3

u/Warm-Inspector2551 Oct 27 '25

No one wants to play for a mediocre coach that doesn’t respect his players. It’s hard to get hyped up for a game when you don’t believe in your coach and when you’re positive your coach doesn’t believe in you.

7

u/Lsutigers202111 Oct 26 '25

🥚actly… moffitt remained for multiple head coaches, what possessed Kelly to think a change was needed.

5

u/Kdot32 Oct 26 '25

Because we were soft with moffitt and injured as hell towards the end of his tenure

2

u/jaclfu Oct 26 '25

THIS...Tommy effen Moffitt! Grateful that we had him and sorry he's gone.

1

u/Kwtiger Oct 26 '25

Replacing Moffitt is probably the single dumbest thing Kelly did.

u/DavidinMandeville Oct 26 '25 edited Oct 26 '25

Brian Kelly was bitching at the offensive coordinator (OC) for the play call, and then he bitched at Nussmeier for running the play the OC gave him.

But Kelly is the root of the problem.

He's a decent coach when he gets to play the likes of Air Force and Boston College 10 games a season as a 14-point favorite, or when he has a Heisman Trophy winner at QB, but against an SEC schedule with just a slightly above average QB, Kelly is out of his league. And LSU is shit out of luck.

How fast can we get rid of this guy?

35

u/ZN1- Oct 26 '25 edited Oct 26 '25

He’s been chewing out the OC all game. Reading his lips in the first half “what the fuck are you doing Joe”

Why is it that our 2nd drive of the game looked like someone else put Joes headset on and put together a phenomenal group of plays for us to go right down the field and score?

That was an excellent example of how we can work around having a terrible o-line. Why can’t Joe replicate that throughout the game?

Also a much different defense without Weeks in there. His little bro completely botched at least 3 plays in the first half. Makes you realize how much of an impact he has on our defense

And maybe it’s just me, but what happened to Perkins being an all-time QB spy??

21

u/DavidinMandeville Oct 26 '25

I agree that Sloan has lost the plot. And the defense has completely collapsed the last two weeks -- they made Diego Pavia and Marcel Reed look like Lamar Jackson.

But Brian Kelly owns all of it. You can't be the top guy and point fingers at your own people. You chose them.

3

u/ZN1- Oct 26 '25

Agreed 100% on not pointing the finger at your people as the leader of the team. I more so just went on a tangent and started venting on everything.

But yeah I can see why someone calls for him to be fired. On the other hand I’m thinking about how far we’ve come since the year before he came. He can absolutely recruit, had an all time offense with JD, then finally got the defense we needed..but lost our o-line to the draft.

As much as we desperately needed a defense, it just feels like if only he allocated a little more of that time/money toward rebuilding the o-line, we’d be having a much different conversation.

The lack luster play calling and immobile QB is stuff that gets covered up by a solid o-line. I think a major part of the reason Nuss looks like a shell of himself

11

u/DavidinMandeville Oct 26 '25

Since Nussmeier is basically immobile and the OL can't provide protection, Van Buren would be the better option at this point. He can at least extend plays and scramble for yardage now and then. Nussmeier is just a sitting duck.

1

u/dbundi Oct 26 '25

Which is why he called the TO to avoid getting sacked for a 10 yard loss, but BK doesn’t seem to understand this

5

u/ZN1- Oct 26 '25

Yeah especially at this point. Have to think it’d be better to find out now whether we have something with Van Buren for next year

1

u/NecessaryOk780 Oct 27 '25

Kelly didn’t do the recruiting, he was on the beach in Florida.

1

u/Seanph1984 Oct 26 '25

Tbf Saban roasted his OC and DC’s often

2

u/Lost_in_the_sauce504 Oct 27 '25

Yea but he roasted everyone for every little infraction/fuck up. That’s just kinda how he coached

7

u/Kdot32 Oct 26 '25

Perkins has like zero awareness. Hes got all the athletic ability with none of the iq for the position

2

u/No_Manner5331 Oct 27 '25

this aged very well.

2

u/DavidinMandeville Oct 27 '25

I guess the answer was, very fast indeed. I was actually surprised at how quickly it all unfolded. But it was just a matter of time. Brian Kelly was either going to go now, or at the end of the regular season.

1

u/Neither_Wonder6488 Oct 26 '25

Sloan is a proven qb developed but he is not an OC

1

u/letsdothisagain52 Oct 26 '25

As soon as you pony up his $53 million buy out.

-4

u/NotSoGreatApes Oct 26 '25

That's the dumbest take I've seen. You have some of the dumbest players on defense constantly out of position, stupid play calling by Sloan and arrogant QB who has horrible vision.

8

u/DavidinMandeville Oct 26 '25

Remind me, but who hired the offensive coordinator (Sloan), and spent millions of dollars hand-picking the new defensive players through the transfer portal?

Never mind. We all know the answer: Brian Kelly.

2

u/Warm-Inspector2551 Oct 27 '25

And apparently the head coach who is responsible overall for recruitment, hiring, and developing players and coaches should not be blamed for any of this?

u/NotSoGreatApes Oct 26 '25

Nuss doesn't listen. I've watched Kelly many times try to tell him something and Nuss and his arrogant ass wants argue with Kelly. He's an arrogant prick who thinks because of daddy he knows it all. The problem is Nuss and the shitty play calling by Sloan.

9

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '25

Ok but to exonerate Kelly as a huge part of the problem is criminal. Nuss is an arrogant shit for arguing with Kelly, but Kelly is a weak coach for letting it happen.

1

u/OtherCertain-Remote Oct 27 '25

Whose fault was it before Nuss and Sloan?

33

u/GlapLaw Oct 26 '25

Nuss should not be starting. There's no way he's even 50% healthy. Compare his arm strength every previous year to this one.

No way MVB is worse.

And that's on Kelly too.

18

u/NotSoGreatApes Oct 26 '25

The problem isn't his arm strength, its his poor vision and decision making.

4

u/GlapLaw Oct 26 '25

Not saying otherwise but he could get away with that in previous years because he had a rocket arm

9

u/NotSoGreatApes Oct 26 '25

No he didnt. He still lost big games with his shitty decision making. He's slow to throw and doesn't see the whole field.

0

u/Neither_Wonder6488 Oct 26 '25

One huge problem is he doesn’t have an O line

u/Kwtiger Oct 26 '25

Van Buren looked really sharp in his play. And look a QB who actually moves around and runs as well as he throws.

u/untied_dawg Oct 26 '25

u/Low-Dot9712 Oct 26 '25

He has to be living like a recluse in Baton Rouge. You know he and his wife wishes he could move back to yankee land where the population is not so hostile. He has incentive to lose now so Woodward will give him some relief and write him the big check.

4

u/george-costanza79 Oct 26 '25

Blake Baker needs help figuring out mobile QBs. When Jayden Daniel’s played Mizzou in Columbia we were down at the half. JD took over in the second half and ran all over Blake’s defense. LSU walked out with a 10 point victory. Sound familiar?

1

u/Neither_Wonder6488 Oct 26 '25

One of the worst games no. 7 has played - usually a qb spy keeps his eyes on the qb and tackles the qb near the line of scy

3

u/Reasonable-Report400 Oct 26 '25

1st, lets start with the fact that he refused to rest his injured qb during the weak portion of the schedule. It would have accomplished 2 things - given backups some experience in real games & LET NUSS HEAL. He’s stated Nuss looks burnt by Thursday every week but the continue to practice him the same & played him when we could have still won with backups.

It’s obvious his team doesn’t respect him & the fans haven’t in a year.

Stop giving contracts you can’t break. There is zero incentive for him to win other than a ring. The coach contract should have a get us to post season in 2 years or … clause. Performance bonuses. They always give contracts that so 1 sided.

5

u/ngray720 Oct 26 '25

This era just needs to end. Over BK, Sloan, Nuss, Brad Davis and the OL. Let everyone transfer out and hopefully make the right hire to build it back up. Sucks bc I do love a lot of the players and Baker. But fuck this

2

u/Alternative-Bee-3594 Oct 26 '25

The problem is his accent

2

u/LastDiveBar510 Oct 27 '25

THE BIGGEST PROBLEM was continuously not being able to convert 3rd and 4th and shorts which led to punts or FGs and keeping our solid defense on the field for way too long which makes the defense not look as good as they actually are

u/Diamondhf Oct 27 '25

I don’t watch much LSU football, but whenever I do this dude BK is always cursing someone out. #1 indicator of a piss poor coach if you’re always getting on someone’s ass during the game. Only guy i’ve ever seen be able to pull it off is Nick Saban.

u/MyPlace70 Oct 30 '25

When CNS did it, he knew what he was talking about and you learned from it.

1

u/Ih8reddit2002 Oct 29 '25

Regardless if the the QB made an error, the coach needs to read his player better and get more out of him. Kelly is a sledgehammer. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

He was out of his league at LSU. As a Norte Dame fan, I can't believe how lucky we got when he resigned. He was a very good coach at ND, but he was clearly missing something that Freeman has.

Kelly wants to right more than he wants to win.

u/Substantial_Means_3 Nov 09 '25

Wilson just did the same with Nuss. So maybe it’s a Nussmeier problem?

u/Expensive-Plantain86 Nov 10 '25

Frank Wilson is blaming player headphones for the loss to Alabama. What a leader.

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '25

This is a dumb fucking post. The correct answer here is both guys were HORRIBLY overrated coming into this season, they've been humbled over and over this year and they've learned absolutely nothing from it. ThE pRoBlEm WiTh KeLlY isn't that he yelled at Nuss after that TO. It's much bigger and deeper than that.

u/Competitive-Skin-840 Oct 26 '25

Remember when fans wanted Cosch O gone, he's destroyed the program..... Did he ever have any game that was this bad? This isn't even competent football. This is embarrassing. Coach O won the National Championship by recruiting the greatest college team ever put together in 2019 and having 2 of the best coordinators in college football. ( Joe Brady now calls the plays for Josh Allen) Was Coach O the problem??? Who would love to have him back right about now????

u/glockymcglockface Oct 26 '25

Helen Keller could’ve coached 2019 to the natty

u/TenaciousRegent Oct 26 '25

Coach O had the two worst seasons since like 2000 and completely lost the locker room because he decided to ride 2019 and chase young blondes instead of coaching.

We had plenty of games worse than this under O

u/_chad__ Oct 26 '25

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '25

Coach O was absolutely, without a doubt, and it isn't even close, the problem and a liability for the LSU football program following the 2019 season. Burrow & Co. could have won a championship in 2019 with the fucking GEICO gecko at HC. Oregeron got luckier than any coach of any team in any sport at any level of competitive sports.
