Defensive Linneman -- "Show me the Money"
Posted on 5/4/24 at 10:52 am

I wanted LSU to get Walter Nolen, but Lane had different ideas. I have no idea what Ole Miss paid to get him, but I know Lane is all in on getting the right people for a run for the NATTY,
I get it that you do not want to overpay, but how much have we paid for the defensive coaching staff?
So maybe Bo Davis can find the right guy with the want to and physical ability to be "coached up." This seems to be the way it is headed as the portal has closed and the big fish have gotten out of the net.

Players hold all cards this late

I know we don’t want to end up like fsu but we probably need to pay up for dline

Exactly. It’s not either/or

Getting Nolen probably would have solved our defense as long as he stays healthy. He is going to require double teams this fall and will make plays anyway.

Personally I don’t think any one dt that was in the portal would “cure” our defense. Our secondary was hot dog shite. We do have much better coaches so maybe they get more out of the guys we have than the previous staff

Oh no doubt. We have plenty of talent in the secondary. If Baker and company were here last year we would have been 11-1 playing UGA in the title game

Let’s see the tune everyone sings after another year of LSU giving up record yardage on the ground. We all gotta pay up and play the game or be okay with 8-4. It’s hard to win when you’re spending less than your competitors.

I'm glad we don't overpay.
1. That could be a locker room problem
2. It takes away from the elite recruiting we are trying to do now.
3. If we're spending a million plus on a mediocre transfer starter, I shudder to think what Jahkeem Stewart would ask for.
Look, we are not one player away from a real championship run. If we spent money like that, we'd have to break the bank and only get one guy. At this point, I don't care if it's the difference between 1 win and 1 loss. I want sustained success. I don't want to be Ole Miss. Ole Miss is about to lose like 800 thousand players after this season so if they don't make the playoffs, they just blew millions for no reason.
Build your team through the high school ranks. Pay to keep YOUR GUYS on the roster. If you can top off your talent with a reasonable cost pickup in the portal, do it. IMO, we need to drop some money on the ULM defensive tackle. Not for this year, but building into the next 2 years.

Walter Nolan got $750K. OU just paid Damonic Williams double that.
Waiting for the second portal opening was a fail of epic proportions.

If OU paid 1.5 million for Williams, they are dumb.

Great theory and I do agree. But we tried to keep OUR GUYS and it didn't work out. And it cost us any real opportunity(it's not happening with this transfer cycle) to beset those losses because Kelly waited until mid January to fire House and company. Then a few weeks convincing an average recruiter(excellent teacher) to come coach the DL at an over market rate yet won't go over market to get said coach someone to coach up. Meanwhile the average recruiter is gonna struggle to fill a very much needed 5-6 man group(hs and portal) with high quality kids that can help right away. The plan didn't work and now the situation is dire enough it could cost us the next 2 seasons at a minimum. They better start paying somebody other than coaches overpriced salaries.
As it was in the last cycle, it's not the individual battles lost that cause concern or even questions, it's the out of touch approach they take. It's as though they are always playing from behind in the forethought realm. No real plan for the worst case as with Smith/Wingo and the CB room. They keep digging the holes deeper with no rope to get out. Then a torn, overused rope is sent down with hopes we don't fall on our arse, like the CB room. With the DT room we now hope to just reach our feet after the fall. That rope broke.

I wish Fitz would have stuck around. Any warm body would do right now.

What would be easier, paying your guys to stay, a guy who knows this situation, and now makes more money while running it back for another year, or to convince an outside guy who's never had any interest in you ever, to go to your school over 5-6 others in the matter of a couple weeks?

Right. This defense isn't going to be great. They for sure need starters at both dt spots.
But I keep hearing people say "this would be a championship team if we get d tackles".
Those people are going to be in for a rude awakening.

All this shutting on the defense watch them play better then offense

Maybe should have stopped there. The holes/ropes thing kinda went sideways from there.
