LK has never won anything, just like some of the other gambles that would have been a stein or Cheney hire. I just wished we would have looked for / talked to all to find the best available, not just the cool name.


It was all predicated upon potential.

“Ooh, look what he’s done at Ole Miss. Just think what he could do here.”

The problem with potential is that it remains nothing but potential until it’s fully realized.

This is always the dumbest fricking game to play.

And frankly, I’m still fine with the Kiffin hire. But he needs to get fricking serious and get serious really quickly.

And lost to Auburn.

I keep trying to impress upon people that the talent gap in CFB has never been as compressed as it is now.

The transfer portal and NIL have brought the “floor” for most programs way up.

Seriously. If two years from now we're seeing the same shite I'll be first in line to call for his head, but to be this trigger happy just shows how soft these figs are. People who haven't accomplished shite in their lives trying to find a way to be in control lmao


Kiffin has shite numbers against ranked teams his entire career.

He has over a decade of underperforming, yet LSU gave him $100m to do what he has never done ever before. Hell of an experiment

They did get beat by Auburn. A real head scratcher. They will advance in the playoffs and maybe win the whole thing. So much better than LSU

So LsU should have hired Smart, Cignetti, Day or Dabo? Those are the only coaches who have done what LSU is hiring a coach to do.

Everyone would be “an experiment” by your criteria.

Anyone that thought we’d win a national championship in the first year is fricking mental. It just doesn’t happen.

Did LSU play overly well tonight no but I do think the future is bright.

Is it feasible to tie coach compensation to performance? Base salary of $4m; bonus to win SEC; bonus to make playoffs, progress in playoffs, win natty?

Plus he’s an arrogant little prick. I’d take Kiffin over him.

Yes. 2 out of 12 is much less of an outlier than 2 out of 130+.

You’re a genius.
