I don’t know anything about Lopez, but I upvoted for the “worse than a one-legged Max Johnson” metaphor


It’s not a metaphor; they were on the same team and Johnson was better despite coming off major leg reconstruction and, you know, being Max Johnson.

We need a good QB to jump in the portal. LSU needs to start tampering some heavy hitters!

Who was Matt Corral before Kiffin? Heisman candidate
Jaxson Dart was a throw away from Texas - Heisman candidate
Trinidad Chambliss was literally unknown

He doesn’t need a big name qb. He needs a qb who fits

I'd take Clark. Outside Leavitt no sexy names on that list. Need someone with Clark though because you don't know if he can make the next level jump yet. Guys like KNight have potential but we need as sure a thing as we can get with our brutal schedule. We can't take development starters as our starting QB unless you plan on having a 4-5 loss season.


I'm willing to give a staff that located a kid from Ferris State- who then led them to a playoff semi-final- all the benefit of the doubt.

One that I would like to see get coached up by Kiffin is Kennesaw State QB Amari Odom.

Jaxson Dart was a high profile QB that went to USC, not Texas.

Lane Kiffin did not come to LSU to bargain-basement shop like he did at ole Miss. A few project players are fine, but this whole idea that they can just “scout” and “coach up” lower level players is ridiculous.

LSU has two Heisman QBs in 5 years, a boat load of money and a coach that has an extremely QB-friendly system. QB’s should be beating the door down to play at LSU right now.

Gio Lopez


HELL no. I watched some UNC games for the BB circus, and Lopez was worse than a one-legged Max Johnson
Agree with that. Dude sucks

When you've been at a school for just over a month, you don't really control that. You get what you can. Hopefully this is the last time we're left without a QB because it sucks but let the man cook. He found a QB off of Twitter and made him work. He can roll with anybody in the portal and it'll be okay.

I’m not complaining or saying he is doing poorly.

But sure you can when you are buying players.

Eta: and to be more clear, Kiffin made it to lsu so quickly because of the recruiting timeline; so that is a bullshite excuse. He hasn’t missed anything by only being at LSU a month.

No, but nobody on the roster was "his" player either. We're in an emergency situation with two groups. We won't see that again.

They haven’t lost much on defense, as by design from keeping Blake baker and the staff mostly intact.

We are talking about 1 QB; there is only one ball. The timeline of his hiring presents no detriment to finding a QB. Or shouldn’t, at least. Zero.

But you don't have a QB on the roster, so you're worse off.

They were always going to have to find a QB. Not sure what your point is

Needing a QB and literally not having one aren't the same.

Again, not sure your point. You originally said only being here a month is a detriment, and it’s not. He’s been in place since the portal opened and left ole Miss to do exactly that

Someone on X posted that this guy may be on Lane’s radar.
