re: 2 seasons into the CBK era… I’m still a little amazed…

Just curious, two years ago who would you have hired instead of BK??

Him continuing that “pattern” the last 2 years is a good sign if you really think about it though. He’s shown that despite being at rock bottom pretty much, he’s still able to pull off his normal, usual type of coaching job/season… so just wait or imagine, what he can do whenever he has a normal typical LSU roster/talent…
I mean, idk about you, but when we fired O and were looking for a new coach, I definitely didn’t imagine we’d be able to find someone who’d come in and immediately have us winning double digit games as well as the SEC west in his 1st 15 months at the helm… I figured that even if we had hired some absolute grand slam unimaginable unthinkable coach, even then it’d still be like at least 3 or 4 years before we saw double digit dubs again… 5 to beat Bama and win our division.

BK is currently 3-5 (38%) vs top 25 & 2-4 (33%) vs top 10 @ LSU.

tbh, the fact that he has even won a few of those games is remarkable. Especially when you consider the fact that most of the losses he’s had have been on the road. If you know anything abt the sport, you know playing on the road in the SEC is probably the hardest thing to do. Try doing it with the roster he’s had to work with…

The team had top 25 talent when he took the job. Stop with the 39 scholly excuse. That’s on Woody for firing O in early October. It’s the norm now to turn over a third or more of your roster each year with the transfer portal. He’s missed on more portal/recruits than he’s hit.

His best win was getting JD5. Yet BK has managed to only go 9-3 with JD5 and the best WR duo in the country. Remember Nabers and Jr were part of muh 39.

If two years ago I told you over the next two years:

-we’d have two 10 win seasons
-the most prolific offense in CFB comparable in ways to 2019
-a biletnikoff finalist/winner
-a heisman finalist/winner
-best bama one of those years
-play for the sec title one of those years

If you told me that then I would have told you that that is a historic choke job not to win another National Championship with what you listed.

Thanks BK and Matt House

Lincoln has more playoff appearances at age 40 than BK has at 62.

He’s also had 3 Heisman winners, and one Heisman runner up… know what he doesn’t have tho? He doesn’t have a single playoff win despite all of that… that tells you everything you need to know about him and his fraudulence

I’m not agreeing with you on anything. The only Riley I wouldn’t be too mad about seeing in Purple and Gold one day would be Lincoln’s brother, Garrett. He’s going to end up being the most successful Riley when it’s all said and done. Just watch. Lincoln’s a fraud.
He’s hasn’t won a single playoff game despite the abundance of talented players he’s had. Every time he’s made the playoffs, he’s been literally out coached and embarrassed. Even by fricken coach O He was lucky to have coached in the big12 during a time period when Texas was down, real down, and there was no other tough competition. He cashed in on his name and got himself paid before the SEC or Texas could expose him and make his name worthless… now USC is paying the price and is stuck having to eat the soggy biscuit.

He may not win a title.

But the culture reversal was needed and LSU will benefit.

That’s at ND, most years at LSU, he can simply recruit defensive talent in Louisiana and still field a top 25 defense. I think that was another reason he came to LSU, he knew it was a helluva lot easier to recruit elite talent here.


At the same time, you have to compete against the best talent in the country. He’s put two really good offensive teams together back to back, now keep that going and get the defense back to LSU standards and he’ll be in the playoffs.


First thing I’d do is take those tough first games off of the schedule until you have this thing rolling and can field an elite offense, defense and special teams. We can’t forget about special teams. It makes a huge impact on games, especially the big ones.

I’m not sure I’d ever schedule a top 25 team to play us with the schedule we going to have from here on. Not until all the other teams start doing the same thing. What they do is penalize teams that schedule those games. It’s rewarded to schedule McNeese State and beat them 70-0.
