How far do you need to see the Tigers go in 25? I’d like to see at least final four.

We need to make the CFP in 2025 or the buildup to 2026 is gonna be spicy.

This is an important season for BK, no doubt.

The hot seat is squarely to do with the opening game losses IMO. Fans will go ballistic if we start 0-1 for a 6th straight year. Always in a hole even though we’re favored every year.

If he gets that monkey off his back a playoff appearance this season will be enough to keep him off the hot seat

Strange linking Kelly in with those other 4.

Probably only due to the pathological condition of most Tiger fans.

How far do I NEED to see?? Just make the CFP at a minimum or I will begin to lose faith in BK. Assuming we get a first round matchup, 2 playoff wins would be very encouraging for the future

Lincoln Riley’s seat is definitely hotter than BK, but he may not feel as much “pressure” at USC

Let us say he goes 9-4. Are you going to fire hum for going 38-15 in what is possible the junior NFL.

OK that might still have been possible but you have to pay $58 million in buyout plus hire a new coach for probably the same salary and then pony ip 20 million in NIL funds.

And then the next coach might do even worse.

In the era of NIL, trigger happy hiring firing of coaches is a thing of the past. You cannot do multi million dollar buyout and NIL at the same time.

We simply do not have the money.

Note NFL head coaches salaries are comparable to players.

Makes no sense having Kelly with the others on that list. Maybe Lincoln Riley at 5, or Hugh freeze 5 wins in year 2.

How Norvell is still employed is beyond stupifying . Those other 4 guys are safe.

The 13 and 10 win seasons 2 prior. He lays an egg again hes likely gone. Would be 4 horrible yrs in a 6 yr stretch. With a very easy schedule besides 3 games.

Yeah, you should probably stay home. I live an hour away from Clemson, so I'm going, hopefully I'm better luck.

If we don't make the playoff, he should be fired. Will he is an entirely different story, but he should be.

Sure you can.

Or here’s an idea, stop giving ridiculous buyouts

100 I would. He is not being paid to never make the actual postseason.

More of an indication of expectations for LSU in general than a measure of BK's achievement.

You would think gundy has a decent amount of job security. There are also guys like Napier and Riley who could easily be on this list. Maybe sherrone moore.
