One recruiting/portal class isn't more important than head coach

Guys, get your heads out your asses. 95% of the players from this year's recruiting class and portal won't be here in 3 years. The head coach will.

Getting the right coach > saving 25 recruits that can just leave after next year anyway

What if we miss on the class and coach?
That is a possibility here.

We aren’t doing anything notable next year with or without Kiffin.

And if he tries to drag this out into the playoffs as other coaches get poached, then what

Correct. Plus, I don't see how much impact it's really going to have at this point.

Getting the right coach is far more important. Can we please have an elite coach to sustain consistency at LSU?

Lane is in the top 6 coaches for wins over the past 5 wins.

I’m fine with waiting if the ink is dry. If he doesn’t sign by the end of the weekend you have to move on to other coaches.

Bro we aren’t losing or gaining any recruits whether he comes or not. Austin Thomas has handled portal additions the last couple of years. It’s not like Lane is going to coach the meaningless bowl game. People need to grow a pair.

It is when the coach isn't likely to be here longer than one contract at best.

You get Kiffin now, you can definitely put together a championship team

Kelly took over a 35 man team and won the SEC west his first year

Underwood should have shown us that with Sloan.

If we end up paying someone like Sumrall $10 million a year it won’t matter anyway. We are screwed. The names on the market are terrible. It’s a bad coaching cycle to look for a coach.

What if the class isn't all that affected?

And what other coach are you worried about losing at this point? Sumrall?

You might as well do all you can to get Kiffin.

Yeah man it won’t affect anything. Cause the Sloan offense and Kiffin offenses are so similar

1000%! Our next head coach is way more important. People need to chill the frick out. Lane is coming. Let him do his thing

Which is why we are willing to wait through a playoff run. Next year is probably rebuilding anyway.

Which is why you appease the guy you put everything into at this point.

I don't understand the idea of pulling out now. Not for whoever else is available.

I for one wouldn't have a problem with lane coaching till the end for ole miss. I dont really agree with how the schedule sets up. That needs to change

What I dont want is lsu getting left at the alter. It would have to be agreed upon some way legally. Dont see ole miss agreeing to that
