And then Tommy Moffitt trained Texas A&M came into tiger Stadium and ended Brian Kelly’s career?

Andy Staples made this point on his podcast today and I never really realized it before. That is pretty mind blowing when you think about it.

This board likes to say Moffitt was stale, which is the LSU fans way of coping. But the did is and always has been one of the best in the business.

BK firing Moffitt and letting Raymond walk told me all I needed to know about him.

...and A&M has been way more physical than LSU over the past 2 seasons

Yeah but everyone blamed Moffitt for LSU being soft in 2020-2021.

ETA: it is possible that he did “grow stale” or the “game passed him by” after 2019 (I don’t think so) and getting fired by Brian Kelly & the opportunity for revenge at A&M lit a fire under him.

Either way glad it worked out, but I still hate the idea of Moffitt saying “gig em”

Woody should have to be in debt the rest of his life for BK’s and McLosers buyout

Both of these things can be true:

Moffittt's stuff got stale here, even before 2019.

LSU firing him seemed to give him new life at Texas A&M

Yeah, it sucks that he's given Texas A&M an identity. But LSU had become soft with him here, and there's no guarantee things would have turned around had he stayed. Sometimes, people need a change of scenery to be rejuvenated after a down period.

CBK pretty much let go almost everyone already at LSU when he took over.

I haven’t read this thread, but the greatest thing to happen to LSU since 2019 was the Texas A&M loss.

And I wasn’t at the game. I fell asleep before halftime kinda drunk on my couch and saw the final score afterward.

The best thing that could’ve ever happened to us, but we never knew it at the time.
