Injuries happen. I get it.

But LSU now has a culture that seems unique to our team in that players seem to opt out at an alarming clip compared to other programs.

Too many underclassmen that are borderline high draft picks opting out.

New regime needs to figure out a way to get our guys to buy in to the program and play for the Purple and Gold and not just use the program for some tape provider to get to the league

You hit nail on head...

Buy in to program

Right now, and seems to be unique to LSU, it is a culture of me.

That said, if I am staring at a $10 million NFL contract next year and playing for nothing, I am not buying in.

The program has to earn the player's respect. LSU seemingly does not have anything close to respect by the players.

Yanking pro-day privileges would be a start.

I think NFLSU helps recruiting. It kills retainment.

pick one

This has gotten bad lately. I've always stated that if you went to college or not, you had to be 4 years removed from high school to go pro. I know it's never been a popular opinion but IF college was a place to get an education, they should make it a 4 year stop, no opting out for pros. Just my opinion. But NCAA let the pros screw them on this matter. They should have stuck to their guns years ago.

The whole program needs a reset. I would say the whole state but we all know that will never happen in Louisiana

A complete program wipe needs to happen. Not a Miles to Orgeron type hangover staff. Get rid of everyone and start fresh and change the culture. Strength and conditioning too, everyone. It needs to happen.
