They’re posi-tigers. They feast and thrive upon mediocrity. They abhorred the 2019 season and do not claim the man known as Burrow. Their motto is “next year is our year”. They are a cancer and a scourge upon LSU Football. They held us back from having winning seasons. They were born during the McClendon days. They coerced the BOS in getting Stovall hired after the Rein tragedy. They refused to pay Arnsparger to stay, and gave us Archer. They were content to lose to Nebraska in an Orange Bowl and Two Sugars. They had the ear of the BOS to bring us Hallman. They wanted DiNardo to stay because they too were “crazy bout a Ford Truck”. They did their best to run Saban Off to bring us the poster child of status quo Leslie Dumbass Miles. Now their claws are sunk into Brian Kelly. They are the facilitators of mediocrity.

No one would defend a 6-6 2025 season unless Nuss went down. Thinking Kelly shouldn't be fired after winning the west in year 1, winning 10 games and finishing 12th in the country in year 2, and possible 9 wins and top 25 in year 3.

2025 - #1 portal class, #7 HS recruiting class
2024 - #43 portal class, #7 HS recruiting class
2023 - #4 portal class, #5 HS recruiting class
2022 - #3 portal class, #12 HS recruiting class

The 2022 class had 16 players, and the vast majority left and almost everybody else is off the team. The portal guys for that year gave us a SEC West title year one, and 10 wins in year two, but they are gone too. Been gone.

The 2023 team is almost non-existent, as 63% of that class has transferred. And of the top 10, only 3 are still here (only 6 of the top 20). Of the remaining players from that class, 80% have done almost nothing. Chester has a year and Stamps has 2 years.


If you want to talk starting vets, guys that have played, like really really played, AT LSU, for AT LEAST A YEAR, this is your list

Offense
Nuss, Durham, Anderson, Hilton, Chester

Defense
Perkins, Whit and West Weeks, McKinley, Breaux, Stamps, Gilbert

You have guys who have touched grass in Mubenga, Adams, Bordelon, Parker, Green, Guillory, Washington, Carpenter, Woodland, and several other defensive freshman, but that is not true 6+ game starting experience. I even hesistated to put guys like West Weeks and Hilton in the top group, but West accumulated enough over two years here and WVU, and Hilton has at least played in many games for 4 years.

Essentially we have 12 truly experienced guys coming back plus portal guys with much starting experience. Guys like Tyree Adams, Mubenga, Green, Guillory, and Woodland (maybe Carpenter) will be relied on heavily, the rest will be for depth.

LSU will need more help with last year's freshman and this year's freshman to fill out the backups AND the starters even.

Oh yeah it's the resident Ed O apologist and Kelly hater. The fact that you are on the recruiting board and in those threads and still saying shite like this proves you just have an agenda against Kelly.

Nearly all of the excuses you're giving are on Kelly he doesn't get a pass because he doesn't evaluate, retain, and develop players from his recruiting/portal classes well.

The point of the OP is that the talent level is there and that's no longer an excuse, which it's not. If there's issues with talent development or evaluation, again that falls on Kelly and the assistants he hired.

If he can't rebuild a playoff competitive roster in four full recruiting cycles of HS & portal, it's never going to happen. There are schools with much less resources and history that are in the playoffs this year.

or they were being picked off by agents. He is as good or better developer of talent as any coach in LSUs history. Go look at his teams where he has had his upperclassmen.

This is a PORTAL AND NIL DAY frickING IDIOT. ALL CAMR ABOUT SINCE 2021 and until this summer LSU wasn’t playing on an equal field with funding from TAF to traditions.

YOU WERE frickING OWNED

No! Go sleep it off!

It doesn't matter hehas an iron clad 10 yr 100 mil contract. He will retire a Tiger head coach.

Why would anyone disagree? Those were BK's words. "Judge me in my third year".

What statement has he made that was credible"
We are going to put a hurt on Fla State, was his first guarantee.
