That last statement bothers me. Sure there were mistakes and blown coverages at times and fortunately the QB's didn't take advantage of them in the 1st half. Of course Jamarcus made a split decision mistake at the end of the half. But what bothered me the most about the game was the coaching in the 2nd half. I would like for the LSU coaching staff to address the bad coaching instead of telling everyone it was poor execution by the players. Lets watch the tape again and show the coaches "how easy" it could've been to win the game if you had kept calling the plays like you did in the first half or how to adjust to Tenn adjustments.
What he meant was "you can show your team how easy it was to not lose that game." Which, while technically acurate, reflects a fundamental flaw in the coaching philosphy. Having the goal of holding on to win will eventually bite you in the ass. You gota kick em while they're down and take away their hope.
