LSU interest in Mel Tucker and Jimbo strong armed those two schools to over pay for them and put them in a shitty situation for years to come. Both teams are currently a dumpster fire

College Football as a HC (assistants too) is an eighty hour + job a week.

It's really fricking hard to work that much and maintain a high level of excellence.

Not many can do it. When money isn't a motivating factor because you have more than you'll ever need, things can go south.


LSU (we) have no room to talk. Look what happened with Special Ed. He won in 2019, got an extension and mailed it the frick in.

Not sure if they assisted in the demise of other teams, but the fact that 2 former LSU QB's (Johnson & Finley) transferred to 2 SEC West opposition teams and are having a shitty season is pretty karma.

Wasn't Justin Fuente a possibility on year? shite he isn't even coaching anymore. So much for being the hot hire.

I think we would have “been forced to hire” the Michigan state coach if he wanted to come.

Espn personalities would have made sure of that.

It’s not LSU’s fault a coach doesn’t perform.

Idk about that but if you want to talk about demise, Miami was never the same after 40-3. The mystique of "The U" completely vanished that night.

That tunnel "fight" (put it in quotes because fight implies both sides are throwing down, not a 10 on 1 ambush) between Sparty and Michigan reminded me of that game.

LSU never had any interest in Mel Tucker.

I’d suggest LSU started breaking UThug with that 2001 SECCG upset when they were headed to the Rose Bowl & a MNC.

The Tigers finished the break in the 2007 SECCG, the last time UThug has been to that game & effectively ended the tenure of Phat Phil.

They are finally showing signs of life 2 decades later.

What about Miami Florida? Miami has never been the same since the 40-3 Peach Bowl loss
