But Jumbo said this never happened, they've never paid players. They did it all on their own through social media.

I don’t think you realize how easy it is to get doctor’s notes for school/ work purposes. First, the doctor doesn’t write the note, his secretary does, and has the doc sign them all at once (if they even sign them— many don’t).

As someone in education, a doctor’s note is as easy to come by as toilet paper.

Jr & Sr years of HS my girlfriend worked in the Office an hour a day.
She got me the pads and I could write the Asst Principal's signature well enough to get free lunch or $5 from a friend anytime somebody needed a pass.
Ahhh, the glory of wasted youth...

I really thought we had no shot with Perkins and he was in it for the money solely. Turns out he was the one that wanted LSU and Matthews was the paid mercenary. Welcome HP!

Yall get off 1977s nuts. If you dont like what he brings then dont click on his fricking thread. Some of yall are so quick do jump on somebody because every single thing they talk about isnt 100% right. 1977,Vol, TBL all bring info that has been right and wrong, so what.

What the frick do you bring to the board?

I guess you weren't following on the CCB when he had all this lock down, "inside" info. The guy has no credibility at this point. But it's an open forum so he can posts what he wants as long as admin's allow it.

I’d be much more pissed if this was a CB. We landed the top 2 safeties in last years class (Ryan & Davis) plus Langlois. We have Ward, Burns and Toles and we picked up 2 others in the portal (Brooks & Foucha).

Let him go sit 10 deep on the aggy depth chart. If he wants to get paid, redshirt and transfer to LSU next year, I’m perfectly fine with that.

Besides, stealing Harold Perkins from them was a much bigger grab.

If true.... Great decision. Must consider, what happens next year if another program offers him more money? He will haul arse. Not worth the time, energy, or frustration.

Good call by coach. At the end of the day, it's a safety. Had it been a punter ... well that's different.

1) How the absolute frick are people still believing this dude? He has been dead arse wrong--objectively, demonstrably wrong--about virtually every single thing he has said all offseason. And these are not things that are like "oh well it was subject to change". This dude said Lincoln Riley was a done deal. This dude said our OC was a young guy and a done deal. Etc Etc. Etc. on down the line. He doesn't have info.


2) I am dumbfounded by people saying that it was a good decision not to match. There is literally no downside to matching and taking an elite player into your class. It's not your money. There's no salary cap. If this story is true (and i would bet a LOT that it isn't. Why tf would a coach just turn down an elite player?), then this was a terrible move.

No I didn’t. This was my last OC topic on the coaching changes board.

Dembrock will be OC:

quote:

I know what I said about Brennan and how he was not the biggest fan of a Denbrock system. Well he will be able to adjust. Brennan likes what Kelly told him in general. As well as Kelly will be in the QB room everyday. In terms of money, Denbrock won’t break the bank, and it will be solid. DC hire will be the grand slam in terms of coach, and money. You should see Danny Lewis (a Cincy commit) offered by LSU soon to confirm this.

Time will tell

If he's Speedy Noil then great
If he's Laron Landry then it sucks

To me I would have to see the details.

If I'm Jacoby snd I have lsu at X and A&M come win at 2X

I'm at least calling lsu and asking for more.

Don't bash him too much. Kid may play for us in a year
