LSU fans say good ridence to Pelini!

Many LSU fans down here have said tha Pelini didn't blitz enough and force turnovers. They said he relied on having superior athletes.

ehhhh, as an lsu fan, we could do worse... we could do better though. at times his d was imaculate other times it was absoulutly mind numbing. its not the "mcfadden ran all over us" thing, because thats just mcfadden, you can game plan perfectly, have all the talent in the world on d, do everything right... and d-mac will still burn you. its more we didn't blitz against arky on a 4th and 12 in overtime, consequently they got the first down and went on to win the game. same thing against kentucky, who had zero running game and a sloooooowwww qb but we didn't blitz all game long, when you don't blitz someone like woodson you're going to be picked apart.

i still don't understand this hire and thats not sour grapes like alot of people want to think, its more you are "nebraska" you should be able to do alot better than bo pelini. anywho, good luck.
Perhaps Bo's thoughts were "elsewhere" getting ready for the new job :) I mean with all the "Pelini sightings" you'd think he was up here every week haha

 
The only explanation for Harp's hatred toward Pelini has got to be the fact he is leaving. This guy has spent the last week doing nothing but flaming on this board. His whole bases of hatred seemingly comes from one play. Which by all accounts was the right call, his players just didnt execute.

If you dislike Pelini so much, why waste your time talking about how bad he is and trying to convince otherwise? If LSU picked up Coz or BC, i wouldnt waste my time on Tigerpoop.com telling you how terrible the choice was. I would sit back and laugh to myself.

can't wait to see you back this one up!
You havent????? I got into it with you on friday and the thread was shut down by mods. You have been a member since 11/30 which is 4 days, and have 23 posts most of which are telling us how bad a hire Pelini is. Why waste your time? It doesnt make any sense. Why are you so intent on trying to convince us otherwise? You obviously are not going to, the only reason to continue is hopefully you convince all of huskernation to hate Pelini before he signs his contract and then comes sniveling back to LSU.
you consider that "flaming" :rollin

seriously, having a discussion that stemed for "why isn't nebraska seeking things better than someone's dc"

is flamming? wow, can't wait to hear you're definition of "debate" also, if i was "flaming" why didn't my post get deleted immediatly or why didn't i get banned.

and whats this sniviling comment? who's sniviling in this scenario, huskernation or bo?

How about parity? If your defense is facing an offense that is just as talented and is playing its A game, this offense is going to make its share of plays. LSU is in the most brutal conference in the country. LSU could have all the talent in the world. But that doesn't mean LSU will dominate in several games if there are a number of teams in the SEC that have all the talent in the world. You are not going to have a team like the '95 Huskers who is going to steamroll everybody. I'm afraid their are a number of LSU fans, like many Husker fans, who expect perfection. It's not going to happen. Even though Florida won the NC last year, I just don't see one team in the SEC that has real separation from several other teams. The SEC is too darn good.

 
its more we didn't blitz against arky on a 4th and 12 in overtime, consequently they got the first down and went on to win the game.
This one cracks me up. I really don't think that blitzing on a 4th and 12 is the right answer most of the time. This is just a hindsight is 20/20 thing. If they would have blitzed and been burned deep, the same LSU fans would be complaining that he blitzed and should have put in a nickel package. chuckleshuffle

well, it 4th and 12. arky has an inexperienced young qb, they have to score a td to get another ot...

you have a severly banged up secondary that has been less than awesome all season long...how does "not blitzing" sound good?
Not blitzing sounds good, because a blitz is high risk, and that situation does not call for a high risk/high reward option. If it works, you know you are going to stop them. If it doesn't, then you're putting even more pressure on your severely banged up secondary which is now undermanned to stop the receivers because you have blitzed, and are probably going to give up the first down. You just need to stop the offense from gaining more than 11 yards, so why not put in a base package, or even a nickel package, because you are relatively sure they are going to pass. The fans calling for a blitz in that situation are assuming that a blitz would be successful. If that were always true, then I guess you should have been blitzing every play.

Yeah, LSU didn't blitz on that play, and it didn't work out. That doesn't mean it was the wrong call. If you play poker, you may know that in some situations you have a 95% chance of winning if you bet. Occasionally you bet in that situation and lose, because the 5% chance of losing hits. That doesn't mean you made the wrong decision, it just means you were unlucky.

Good call...maybe you should be the new DC for the Tigers haha

 
NP I'm not discounting what you're saying there, but a lot of those stats from USC and OSU could be the result of playing lesser talent in the Pac-10 and Big 10.

I was thinking the same thing after i posted this but so i went and looked at some other SEC teams stats, and if you were to simply look at the individual stats of Auburn and Georgia you would think that they have more talent than LSU but Auburn is sittin at 8th in total defense and Georgia is 19th.

For Auburn's individual stats, sacks they have T-50, T-227, and T-233. In Tackles for loss they have T-17, T-246, and T-271. In INT's they have 2 guys T-55th and T-194.

For Georgia's individual stats, sacks they have T-43, T-63, T-144, T-150. In Tackles for loss they have T-45, T-115, T-184 and T-271. In INT's they have T-46 and T-212.

So even when you look at individual stats of other teams from the SEC it still would seem like LSU isnt way better than Geogia or Auburn.

 
LSU's defense has made plays much more consistently than the offense. At the end of the game, when everything is on the line, it has usually been the defense that has been asked to step up. If LSU's offense wasn't constantly turning the ball over on their side of the field, Pelini's defense would have much better statistics.

NOPE! nice try, if i was you i'd have gone with generic answer #3 also, but if there is one thing this team has done exceptionally well, its "have an outstanding turn over-ratio." 3 fumbles all year long... none of which were "in lsu territory" and only 2 int's that directly resulted in scores.

LSU does have a great turnover ration and there offense does not turn the ball over much at all, LSU is ranked 11th in the nation in fewest turnovers lost with only 15. However the defense is doing much better in this department, LSU's defense is ranked 4th in the nation in takeaways with 33. So the defense should be given more credit for "having an outstanding turn over-ratio".

I am by no means an LSU fan, and it would seem harp really likes his LSU tigers, but everything you are saying about Bo Pelini and defense is all just your opinion. So you think you could find some stats that back up this opinion of yours or are you really that bad a of fan that you are getting upset with the #3 D in the nation. If you had to go through what husker fans went through this year you would commit suicide.

 
Please don't feed the trolls.
allow me to translate... ehhhheeemmm:

"please don't expose me to anything but blind, rabid, homerism. individual thought makes me gag"
Yeah, I don't agree with you; I think you're over-emphasizing a single bad defensive game (AR) and ignoring the faults of the offense (against Kentucky) in the two losses (but I think we can all agree that if the kicker hadn't missed so many damned field goals in those two games, this wouldn't really even be a discussion), however, I think that that was a fabulous response to an extraordinary post. See? we can all be friends!

let me translate.....EHHHEEEEMMMM:

"I have my own personal opinion and no matter how many facts or statistics that prove my opinion wrong i will not change it"

Once again i ask you to give me some stats that back up your reasons for considering Bo Pelini a bad coach, instead of simply your "individual thought".
