I feel like Alabamas receivers have to do a better job of getting separation.
Waiting for one of these receivers to stick out above the rest.I don't see it.
They all have been good but who's gonna make that crazy catch or break that run after a catch like Williams,Waddle,Smith,etc.
Who can we lean on?
Coach BoB does suck but there is no way the receivers shouldn't be getting open with the time Bryce is creating by scrambling and moving around in the pocket.

We've had receivers open, Bryce has been a little off at times and can hold the ball too long. Gibbs is our gamebreaker guy this year. McClellan too if BoB would get him more involved. Our OL has done a good job in pass pro this year but they need to do a better job run blocking.
Maybe Harrell or Aaron Anderson can breakout. Brooks seems to be the go to guy in clutch situations.

Our WRs could be better but if they aren't getting open running the same generic routes then it's on BoB to do a better job with route creativity and creating mismatches for our WRs like Kiffin/Sark did so well.

We all neck and neck with issues, to down play yours as it’s as simple as a tweek is a bit disingenuous, regardless of your analysis y’all can still waltz into the sec chip, and from there it’s up to y’all, all these teams fate is in their hands, and very capable of winning it

That seems like a fun coach to play for.
Most of these dudes not going pro so you might as well enjoy playing for somebody.
Because I rather have our issues with Saban, Bryce, Gibbs and Will Anderson than any of those other teams issues
Will No show, got 50 put on his head Anderson against the only competition he has played this year.
.
I think it's more of a healthy dose of skepticism for every coach who may have a good track record somewhere else but not in the SEC west, just look at bielema, who did well at wisconsin, burnt out at arkansas, but then refound success at illinois, etc
i mean shyt, LSU has been sandbagging our own talent for years if not decades...we ran leonard fournette like a bowling ball on every play without switching up the scheme or play calling into his injury where he had to sit out for half of his last year before we played bama....we had those off years around 2017 when our wide outs can't catch for shyt even when the ball is thrown at their hands....our athletes mostly fukk around and play with natural instincts like Tyrann Mathieu or from high school development in CFB just to make those astounding highlight reels in the NFL -- like, where was OBJ's notable catch at LSU before he got famous for doing that at the Giants?
we had fukking joe alleva as AD who came here after he left as Duke's AD during their lacrosse scandal and it's not like he has an eye for coaches, attributed for recruiting any notable coach, or recruited coach K, who's been there since the 80s. when scott woodward came over from TA&M, the rumors were swirling that LSU was going to hire Jimbo Fisher, who scott woodward already lured away from FSU, and jimbo's teams are chaotic as it gets when it came to beating bama last year, as the first nick saban ex-assistant coach to do so, and then flopping hard this year. we still have those random jimbo fisher bandwagoners, les miles sympathizers, and coach o defenders in the LSU fanbase mostly guided by blind faith. it almost feel like we let in too many casual fans (given that we are the main team in the state to root for outside of the saints), we are too soft on our CFB expectations (given the talent pool of NFL players from this region), and we gauge coaches based on likeability or viral soundbites than their ability to develop, coach, and win games.
in 2019, we had causal LSU fans who randomly associated joe brady as the brains of the 2019 offense (even tho he did install it from the saint's playbook) when it was actually steve ensminger calling the offense and joe brady being the 3rd down specialist. [I still feel like TIMING of that freak airplane death of steve's daughter in law before the CFB playoffs was some type of bad omen for steve to retire early...like, don't we have autopilot and instruments to avoid all that in 2019, similar to what happened to kobe in 2020?; otherwise, Steve would have been OC for longer before it all collapsed at LSU after most of the coaches got hired away to other jobs]. dave aranda was LSU's assistant head coach/DC and he ran most of the show and was able to take baylor into a 12-2 season last year as HC. not too many people could really understand coach o's accent so i doubt he was doing much of the coaching/designing play schemes but he was one hell of a motivator and recruiter getting all those QB's to sign with us before they eventually transferred away.
yes, brian kelly won at everywhere he's been but it was at D2 in grand valley state, lesser conferences in central michigan or cincinnati, or notre dame where they cherry pick their cupcake opponents and by not completely joining the ACC to avoid clemson in the ACC championship game only to lose to them or bama in their playoff appearance. Fans in other conferences do this shyt all the time: compare apples and oranges directly by how much of a margin and by what stat line they managed to defeat weaker opponents in lesser conferences...we might get season-ending injuries by playing top rivals every week down here and other conferences' players are still fresh by the time the bowl games are announced. not having a direct line of comparison for which coach (OC/DC/AHC/HC) or athletes on the field should be mainly attributed to a successful season just makes it even harder to evaluate coaches.

^i know you heard the shyt that other fans have to say about brian kelly. notre dame cancelled their yearly rivalry with michigan under BK because BK lost to the spread offense 3 years in a row back when michigan was still mediocre against everyone else. If anything, LSU does have too many locked-in yearly rivalry games ever since TA&M joined the SEC and BK could start figuring out how to open up the scheduling rotation to play the other SEC teams (that we see once every 5 years like Tennessee and not even during their down years that bama took advantage of), especially after OU and Texas joins.
In the SEC, it's already established by Nick Saban and coaches before him that the recruiting battles are fierce towards using player talents to win games...Dabo, Kirby, and Jimbo learned from the best when hoarding 5 star recruits and not really using them to their potential until they are super seniors or when they eventually transfer out just out of spite to deprive their rival team with a lesser recruiting class in comparison to make their own team more successful. The first thing BK did right was hiring back Frank Wilson as AHC towards restoring the recruiting pipelines within louisiana. There's a couple of other black coaches who also hold the keys towards in-state recruiting that we can hire onto the staff but Frank is a good cornerstone and hopefully we have the staff to further develop these players. Southern hospitality is good but some of this respect has to be earned towards football wins, production on the field, and player development to further erase the healthy amount of skepticism that any fanbase should have when a new coach or coaching staff is announced.
