What Burrow told the team at players-only meeting after McMillan transferred

Burrow took ownership and made his intentions known from the gate at players-only meeting last year amidst tension after McMillan transferred. Natural born leader. Balls of steel.

From article in The Athletic (no link/subscription):
quote:
McMillan was a popular player, and he was the front-runner coming out of spring practice before Burrow joined the team. The quarterback room itself was amicable, with both Burrow and McMillan calling each other friends, but there was some team tension when McMillan transferred midway through August camp and eventually landed at Tulane. A sizeable faction of the team thought McMillan deserved the job, and instead, McMillan and Narcisse both left and Burrow became LSU’s starting quarterback.
Soon came a players-only meeting to sort through team issues. Player after player stood up and expressed their thoughts. LSU players like John Battle and Jacob Phillips said at the time it was about whether they’d divide or stay together.
Then Burrow stood up.
“If anyone has anything against me or anything to say, let’s get it out on the table right now,” multiple people in the room recall Burrow saying, “because I’m here to win and I’m here to lead the team.”
The team was surprised. He hadn’t spoken up much all camp. Former LSU walk-on quarterback Andre Sale was one of those people in the room.
“At that point, everyone was like, ‘He’s ready for this,’” Sale said.
Another nugget:
quote:
His goal growing up was never about playing in the NFL like most young quarterbacks. “My goal had always been to win a national championship being the quarterback of the high-profile team.”

Two transfers in August and the melt was on.

I love to see people stand up and attempt to get everything out in the open. Keeping that shite bottled up will eat up any kind of team or organization from the inside quick like.

It’s crazy thinking how uncertain our QB situation was just a year ago compared to now.

Joe burrow & coach WW are in a heavy competition for my top bromance.

I liked McMillan and he really had improved leaps and bounds from his first few seasons on the team but I still don’t think he could have led that team to as many wins as Burrow did last year. He will do very well for Tulane but I just don’t think he would have been able to put LSU in the championship picture like Burrow.

Where is Narcisse now? Still juco or has he transferred to a rival yet?

Joe Burrow is a bad man. Hes the right guy for this team and coach.

He transferred to UTSA.

I am saddened that our team had members that thought McMillan was even a decent option.

Probably my favorite part. He didn't come in expected the world and flapping his gums. When he finally does speak out it means alot more.
