Fightin, it may have just been one bad game. Give the man a chance.

We gave up 45 points last year to UGA and over 430 yards to them.

It happens some games.

The D can't get much worse

You can even look at 2003. We gave up 411 yards of total offense to Georgia the first time we played them. Seems to me we came out of that season ok...

There is absolutely ZERO excuse to giving up over 500 yards with the talent this LSU team has.

What about being young and somewhat inexperienced and having to learn a whole new system. Talent isn't everything.

Apparently Saban failed in his goal of eliminating the "catastrophe syndrome" from the program. There seems to be a strong infestation...

Be patient, the Tigers will rule

You don't risk a possible championship season by installing a completely new system. You modify your system to fit what the players already know.

That may be the dumbest thing I ever heard! So our staff should watch film of Saban on the sidelines too I guess to see how he reacts to stuff, so they can be like him?!

Our staff needs freedom to do what they have to do man!

A new system is tough, but you can't say it SHOULDN't happen. Tiger Woods put in a new swing after winning 9 tournaments in a season

Don't take my word for it: read for yourself what Bo had to say recently:

LSU's Pelini Already Correcting Things

We have all the ingredients for this guy to become more and more successful. Should his corrections lead this defensive team to getting a solid understanding of his defense and excelling on the field, I fear some "fans" will have nothing left to question.

Why? Because he's a very experienced defensive coach with a extensive pro and college background. If he can build on that success at LSU, he will likely be a top notch head coach somewhere sooner rather than later. If that happens, then obviously he will have had great defensive success while here at LSU. After all, his goal is to accomplish such success and he will do everything he can to do so.

Les Miles was big enough to retain Jimbo Fisher in part because he saw a talented offense that had the ability to flourish under a philosophy that was put in place before he arrived.

It's quite pleasing that at the same time he had the wisdom to go out and hire a top notch defensive coordinator to compliment Fisher. I truly wish this coaching staff the best, and the more I read quotes like the one above, the more I keep thinking that this could be a very special season for LSU!!!

Seasons like this---ones with real promise and championship potential---don't come often to these parts. I'll be damned if I sit back quietly as the tigers win games each and every Saturday. I'll be yelling at the top of my lungs cheering them on!!!!

Great Post!!! I agree 100%

I said it before and I say it again, it was one game and the first game of the season. I was disappointed in the D, like everyone else. They know they have to improve, they will work on it, and I think it can be improved.

I don't believe anyone can give a good eval of Miles/Pellini till after several games, like 3 or 4.

Give the men a chance. It's been said, we beat #15 on the road, they had a warm up game, we didn't, we had hurricane distraction, they didn't. Great win for the Tigers.

Give the men a chance, rally round the team and coaches, and support our Fightin Tigers!!! Never give up on anyone too quickly. How quickly would you like others to give up on you? Would you like a fair opportunity to show what you can do?

Give the men a chance. Everyone knows we need to improve, we have two weeks to work on it, Pellini has credentials, I think the pass D WILL IMPROVE against Tenn.

I want to see another game. (I REALLY WANT TO SEE THE TENN. GAME!). Then we'll have a better idea about the D.

Name me one defensive coordinator who ever did this. Just one.

When somebody is brought in from the outside it is with the understanding that they will install their own defense. Nobody but Nick or one of his disciples is going to be comforatble with Saban's defense.
