Kelly was a bad hire. In over his head. Can’t win big games.
Sloan is a mediocre OC, too conservative.
Nuss is the wrong QB for Kelly
D is better, but long way to go.
LSU will do no better than 8-4 maybe 9-3 with BK here.
The season is practically over, we should settle for watching others in the playoffs.
The sky is falling after the first game of the season.
And
Saban is coming back to LSU.

Miss anything?

Dishing out perpetual misery and doom.
Maybe the page should be re-titled “Tiger Melt”


Anyone have fun with College Football here?

I’d love to have Saban, and wanted him when les was “going to Michigan.” Everything you said is accurate except Saban, sadly.

Yeah I’m not 100% done with this team but I’m 85% done with Kelly. I just don’t like him. But I’ll like him if he’d win. He cost me a lot of money on that Vegas trip so it’s now personal to me. I despise a conservative football game. Foot on the gas 24/7

Calling it to be 8-4 or 9-3 is not ‘doom and gloom’. It’s a good season, not great. We are missing several pieces in order to be great. Being realistic is not being negative.

It’s a prediction, just like 14-0 is.

Just like any other prediction, it could be wrong. But this team doesn’t look much different in certain areas than the team from last year. We are 1 or 2 years away from being great.

Hate it when a football coach makes you take a trip to Vegas and spend a lot of money. Should be a law against that.

I bet Landry will do that. In all seriousness we had a great time. I just think the longer he goes the further we will will slide. He’s not a Nick Saban. He’s more of a Gerry Dinardo.

Jury still out for me. He’s a solid coach who should be able to do really well here at LSU. Had to overcome a lot but in year 3 I think expectations are such that we see a more significant step forward.

Road bumps with replacing both coordinators which should be expected to set progress back a little initially. Also gotta learn how to operate in a live environment with all these new pieces. Probably a little uncertain and playing a little conservatively in the first game. They should get in a groove.

Tough to come out of the gate against USC but I would prefer that the Tigers meet those challenges rather than avoid them by playing cupcakes.

Injuries are unfortunate and heartbreaking but part of the game. I expect this team will continue to grow and improve. Lots of talent to work with even if you have to shift some of the pieces around.

There’s only one Saban but I don’t believe Kelly is closer to Dinardo. I remain optimistic that he’s going to have a successful program here.

Either way, I’m not joining the doom and gloom crowd out there. It’s the best time of the year! Why would people wait this long for college football and then start bitching week 1? This is supposed to be fun. A bad week of football beats the hell out of nothing but NASCAR and Golf on TV.

Geaux Tigers!
