re: Miles Brennan, the bowl game, and the portal

Once someone divorces themselves from a disastrous clusterfrick (what the frick is with these giant arse fonts, Chicken?) it is usually difficult for someone to step back in. I would imagine Brennan feels let down, cheated from "what could have been" and just simply needs to move his life forward, and right now, Kelly doesn't even have a staff to look at and for Brennan to see and say to himself, "I could ball out in this situation".

Nuss is going to be 100% better as a sophomore redshirt freshman QB setting the world on fire. If Brennan comes back, he's the leader for the role, but with questions about his health. Also, Nussmeier might leave if Brennan comes back. OU might need a slinger if Williams leaves, as an example of a school that would be interested in Nuss. Brennan probably sees this and he is so unselfish and loves LSU so much that he knows it's better for LSU for him to give up his dream of being the starter at LSU rather than push the issue.
