Coaching News and Rumors

Something to keep an eye on . LSU may be making a push for Bo Davis. We can win the bidding war but it is his alma mater.

Darn it. He deserves it
but wish we could keep him

The whole defensive staff has been gutted. We'll see how attracrive that is to him.

Maybe that would make it attractive since he could build his own staff

He would be a DL coach. Not a coordinator. He has never espoused any interest in a coordinator role.

Bo Davis --- keep him!

So it would lateral but gets him back at his school.
in your opinion would he move laterally?

Back up a 2nd truck to his front door. The culture we see here now is partly (greatly?) because of him. Excellent coach.

He has been a DL coach his entire career. They all have been lateral moves. From bama here then back to bama and most recently from Jacksonville.

I have to wonder what role if any Nansen will have in scheming the defense. Hopefully an active role.

To state the obvious, our pass D left plenty to be desired. I was particularly underwhelmed by our lack of creativity in the Sugar Bowl. Based on what I watched, and a number of subsequent analyses I have seen, it seems as though PK didn’t or was unable to think outside the box. Blitzing Hill up the congested middle against a stellar OL is probably not going to work, and it didn’t. Telegraphing a star blitz when there is a TE right there to block Barron didn’t work either. Did we disguise anything? (I’m asking because I don’t know.)

What might work — or might have worked — are unconventional schemes and blitz packages. If the OL is unable to determine where the pressure is coming from, they may struggle to handle it.

Like I said, hopefully Nansen’s role will be bigger than it appears on the surface.

Nansen should look for a top level LB in the portal. Our starters’ quality at LB is good, but our proven quality LB depth remains thinner than a Tokyo runway model.

What about the Hawaiian who hits like a wave of lava but has moves faster than hula girl’s hips?

He should pan out. But we need more proven depth.

Your post gets to the heart of the defense issues that I saw as our biggest problem in the Sugar Bowl—Our blitzes were as predictable and ineffective as I’ve seen. They didn’t get close;never knocked him down.
Some creativity would be welcome.
