Small point about BK

Notice how he always says something along the lines of "that's on me" or "we have to coach better"? He puts himself and the staff at the forefront of accountability and responsibility for losses or mistakes (yes, it's a small sample so far with only one season, but that is what we have to go on). Contrast that with NS who talks about "didn't make the plays we needed to", "players did not play to their potential", etc. Rarely have I heard him ever say it's on the coaches. As I said, it's a small point, but with this generation of players and the current environment with NIL/portal, it's a small thing that could go a long way.

LSU FOOTBALL LSU drops regular season finale: My Take

It was ugly tonight against Texas A&M. There’s no sugarcoating it. LSU was outplayed, outcoached and didn’t look like the same team we’ve been watching the last few weeks.

That being said: this group has achieved more than anyone anticipated in Year 1 of Brian Kelly and have looked like a totally different team the back half of the season compared to the Florida State loss. There’s been tremendous accountability, leadership and growth within the team.

BUT, the Tigers should have won this game. There was no one making plays or providing a spark throughout much of the game. Jayden Daniels missed WRs again and was unable to get into the end zone with his legs or by passing, John Emery carried the rock for 3 scores. Daniels also had the fumble turnover which took the momentum out of the Tigers. We also did not see Matt House’s signature second-half adjustments we’ve become accustomed to all season. A lot of things had to go wrong for LSU while everything had to go right for A&M and that’s exactly what happened.

I’m excited to see what BK and this staff and team can do over the next few years. Next up, Georgia.

Postgame with Brian Kelly

-- Kelly: "We weren't our best today."

-- Jayden Daniels has an ankle injury

-- Kelly: “We needed more juice, more fire, and we lacked that today. That’s on me.”

-- Jarrick Bernard-Converse was out due to concussion

-- BK said after the Daniels fumble, LSU never recovered the momentum back.

-- Kelly added that this season has been one of the most enjoyable of his career and that he's proud of all the team accomplished in Year 1. The loss to A&M was a bump in the road, not a step back, he said.

LSU FOOTBALL Monday notes from Brian Kelly's press conference

-- Brian Kelly says Jarrick Bernard-Converse will practice non-contact Tuesday. They’re expecting “he’ll be back for us.”

-- Kelly says Jayden Daniels will get his ankle examined again tomorrow. “He’s got to be able to get up on his toes.”

-- Kelly on the SEC Championship: "Our guys have had the opportunity to play the best and this is another opportunity for us to be challenged."

-- Kelly on what it would mean to win the SEC title… “It would obviously be something we would all feel great about in our first year here at LSU. … it would be such a huge thing for this football program.”

-- Kelly isn’t worried about a potential letdown: “Our guys know they let something slip away and they’re upset about it.”

-- Kelly was asked about deciding what to change and what not to change at LSU when he arrived a year ago: "You don't really touch tradition, but you don't worship it."

-- Kelly was asked about his biggest takeaway from his first season in the SEC: "This past weekend. You have to bring your best each and every week. If you don't, you'll get beat. That, to me, is the takeaway. You cannot play without the energy and the identity of your football team.”
