Man... hearing the crown jewel of your class say “Roll Tide” is as sickening as it gets.

dellis337•75 months

My feelings exactly!!! It turned my stomach!

“They win championships. I want to be a part of that winning culture.

BowDownToLSU•75 months

Can't really fault him for this logic

Spelt it rong•75 months

I'd like to back into championships, too.

headline should read "Alleva and O miss out on sure thing"

beantown•75 months

Idk if it’s worse to see us fall into irrelevance slowly or just all at once.

verble2•75 months

Worst coaching hire in the history of college football!

blueboy•75 months

Every fricking year. 11th hour Bama bag man strikes again. MAIS, HE CAN RECRUIT DEM DOH!!!

tjohn deaux•75 months

Honestly I'm not surprised. Saban is a DB kind of coach.

SouthernInsanity•75 months

Take the easy route. Don't build something when you can just fall in with the rest.

Datbayoubengal•75 months

What is he going to build at LSU? We hired a joke at HC who continues to hire old people past their prime (retirement checks anybody?). But everyone important wanted the marble mouth Cajun as the HC. That hire was a microcosm of how Louisiana has been ran into the ground.

datbayou, you're an idiot

voodooidotwo•75 months

Last second check book type of deal

Ruebacca•75 months

I'm not jumping on the Rome is Burning and We Suck train, but we had no corners in this class, which we definitely needed with early departures to the NFL and losing on Surtain, Jr. and Goodrich doesn't just signal a poor class for this year but what does that say to future 4 and 5 star DBs and other recruits. Disturbing to say the least. We needed strong competitors like that just for the credibility, not to mention likely production. SMH

MC123•75 months

coach O got to geaux!

PhilemonThomas•75 months

Front runner with no chest. Tiger Bait!

bayouboy318•75 months

I don't blame him. LSU has yet to get over the quarterback hurdle and Ogeron's future is in question. He wants to win a championship and Bama has proven to get there over and over again. The kid would rather a title than develop by the best defense coordinator and cornerbacks coach in the country. In my mind, he's tigerbait and there's no need in talking about him.

BayouTiga•75 months

Get use to it peeps. Until LSU can win against Bama and at least win the west, this will continue. Just sayin..............

At least the TD Food and Drink Board is top notch.

BowDownToLSU•75 months

Damn this must feel like dooms day for the coaching staff

Load Toad•75 months

Bright side is LSU loses 2 or 3 top recruits every year to LSU. This year it's only 1.

Datbayoubengal•75 months

Yeah, but considering the mediocre recruiting year by LSU standards, this is way worst. We likely finish with the worst recruiting class for LSU in over a decade.

Fenwick86•75 months

"Their program spits out players into the NFL who never reach their full potential. I want to be a part of that."

Barbellthor•75 months

They do reach their potential. Just not at LSU.

airfernando•75 months

Tom Brady didn't reach his full potential in college. Joe Flacco. JJ Watt. Peyton Manning. And the list goes on and on.

TigerIT•75 months

I feel like someone's reading comprehension is just not quite there
