re: What do the LSU coaches think of Nussmeier’s potential?

Daniels wasn't promised the starting job when he came here. Neither was Myles or Nuss. It worked out fine

You assume he wasn't promised the start, but have no idea. That said it's a totally different situation. Myles had already been the starter for 2 years, but never got to play it out due to injury. Had he not washed out he probably would have started over Jayden, but in the end it was a competition between Jayden and Nuss. So Jayden got exceptionally lucky.

He also wasn't some elite transfer nor was Burrow. If BK was to bring in a Burrow or Jayden next year they wouldn't beat out Nuss because he's not Brennan. Unless they either are promised the start or he puts too much value on experience in which case that's still basically handing the start to any transfer. The chances of getting a transfer who has looked bad at another school to come here and be the backup, but they beat out the actually good presumed starter is exceptionally low. Even the Nuss haters know that won't happen which is why many are begging for a "proven transfer" who would in fact have to be promised the job beforehand.
