That’s not what happened. The coach came to several of the players and suggested it. They decided mutually it was best for them to do so.

Grew up in Baton Rouge, went to Wake. Kid is good. Not sure where Brennan is but Newman can start for a lot of good teams and will. He is a stud and has first round potential.

Agree. Not sure when he will transfer but depending on spring ball I wouldn’t be mad if he came here

Not sure why those on the Brennan train get so defensive about the idea of a transfer coming in to make Brennan compete. Competition in all aspects of life only makes you better. If Brennan is as good as some of you think then he should be able to win the job no matter who is challenging him.
For the record, he hasn't earned shite. Not once in his limited playing time has he taken hits or had to make big plays at critical times. All of you nimrods look at his high school stats or how he throws so proclaim him to be great. Those things have nothing to do with be an elite qb. You have to be able to perform when everything is going against you and so far he has not been tested so who knows what will happen. All I know is if the coaches think we have the talent to compete for the west next year they better bring in a grad transfer just in case Brennan falters or gets hurt.

Are you people smoking crack? He looked mediocre at best against Michigan State in the Pinstripe Bowl. Wake lost! Why do you want to waste scholarships?

His top two at least receivers are hurt and depth at Wake does not exist. Kid is good. I have watched him for two years. Wake is not SEC football but he can play.

King is not nearly an accurate enough passer.
No idea about Newman. Come on over and compete.

Yes because a Draft eligible Joe Burrow last year was a sure fire first rounder!!! you realize guys can improve.. and this guy played very well at fricking Wake Forest. he would dominate with our skill players. man the IQ on this board is extremely low.

transfer QB school?
That title belongs to OU.
...I think the idea of bringing in a Transfer QB would mean that he would expect to start, e.g., Joe Burrow. And, since we already have an expected starter who has definitely earned the opportunity, it makes things weird to bring in a top Transfer. I imagine the coaches see Parrish as the first backup and having two freshmen coming in, one who has a ton of upside (M Johnson), there just isn’t a need for a Transfer. If we bring in a Transfer, I think it would indicate that the staff does not believe that Miles is the guy.

Brennan has earned it.
This line of thinking is crazy to me.
Nobody can "earn" playing time without actually being the best player at a position. Certainly, nobody can "earn" not bringing other players in to compete for the position.
The real question is whether or not Brennan gives LSU the best opportunity to be successful. If the answer is yes, you don't consider a transfer. If the answer is no, then ABSOLUTELY, you consider all options.
If your point is that Brennan gives us the best chance vs. all other options, I personally agree with you. However, if the coaching staff sees someone they think will be better, they should absolutely pull the trigger.

I think that sitting for three years and learning behind the Transfer brought in for when he definitely was not ready, contributing as the primary back up, and keeping a good attitude about it all, means that he has earned the opportunity to start. This all assumes the coaches have not seen something that makes them think he just isn’t starting quality. Besides that, I think that’s what people (including me) mean by, “he’s earned it.” If you mean he has to start and win games to earn the “starting” job, that’s kind of cart before the horse.
You recruit multiple freshman to develop and compete but bringing in a Transfer usually means it’s to start at QB (or provide depth; and it’s known that he’d be the backup). The transfers (good ones) are usually transferring to start, not compete, agree or not.
I agree, it’s better for the program to bring in top talent to compete. And anything is possible once they are on the field. But, these guys leave their program to start somewhere else.

So, are you saying that if the staff saw a transfer available that it thought gave LSU a better chance of winning, it should pass on said transfer because Brennan "sat for 3 years and learned" and "because Brennan is starting quality"?
I couldn't disagree with you more.

I'm sick of hearing all of the "QB Slick Rick has entered the transfer portal...we should go after him." I know we got Joe that way but I don't think that should be the standard for long-term winning. If Brennan can't get it done, we have other QB's on the roster. Or, we could just be like OU with QB's since that's worked out so well.

False. He was the backup to Joe fricking Burrow. He earned that spot. Which is why he was the one to play when Joe came out.
