Bo to LSU?

Not making excuses for Bo (I found the situation funny as hell), however this year is as tough as it gets on coaches imo.  The limited contact, uncertainty, players sitting out, etc... all made their jobs a lot harder on defense especially.  Offenses, and passing in particular, didn't miss near as much.  In fact, QB receiver practices had more prep time than ever.  I think all coaches will get some free passes this year when things don't look quite right.

Leach had the same amount of contact with all new schemes on BOTH sides of the ball.

It's not as if Bo forgot how to coach D.

Bo's D's have historically been pretty good against the pass in general.  He's always been lousy preventing the run against good teams and especially big plays.  I was referring to the 620 passing yards by one of the most innovating passing game head coaches in recent history against an inexperienced D in a new system.

Ahhhhh, yeah. Forgot about that one. So... two bad games.

Only forgetting how to coach defense twice isn't bad. Is it?

As long as there aren't any more I'm forgetting, I think we can chalk those up to bad luck.

You're right. I'm sure UCLA didn't put up 500+ yards on us at home. Just a hypothetical that I'm sure a Bo defense would have never allowed.

Interesting quote from leach saying he couldn’t believe the defense didn’t adjust and go from man to zone. How many times did we hear that while he was here. Too stubborn to adjust

Can't even remember how many times I yelled at my TV about Bo not making an adjustment. You need to trust your system, but you also have to stand back and admit when something isn't working right and Bo seemingly couldn't do that.

I remember watching the first game they played Rutgers in Lincoln.  They kept lining up in some formation that must have adjusted who had outside contain.  They kept running naked bootlegs and we had nobody there.  After the first time it happened I turned to my father who is a coach and said "we'll see that 5 more times".  we did and there wasn't an adjustment.  same problem with contain plagued them the whole year.

That was 2014, the same year Minnesota kept running Leidner off the right edge and there was never anyone home. 

Leidner ran for 452 yards that year. Almost one fourth of his season's total came in Lincoln against Bo's defense.
