re: I am riding with BK on the Nuss Bus...we have no choice...

I have absolutely no problem with BU doing what he did...go chase your money to your state flagship and get paid...cause no matter what happens unless he wins two nattys while hes there it'll be an under-performance compared to the 10-12.5M he just got paid. I highly doubt the natty comment with Moore as coach, to me this spells R. Sheppard wasted talent type situation.

We've seen too much recent success with second year QBs and a returning OC. Let it ride on the Nuss Bus. Nobody is getting rid of BK with his buyout for another 2-3 years barring a massive implosion to 6-6 or something.

We lack serious potential at skill positions outside of Caden. Bring in the class we have together. And another good transfer WR possibly. See where it goes.

I believe Nuss will improve next year...hopefully, he commits to being better in the offseason, like Burrow and Daniels did after their first years in the program.

I'm with you. Nuss has the opposite issue of Daniels and his in-season reaction to throwing picks has been more stifling to him than Daniels being overly cautious with the ball.

I will also say they he has looked off on his deep throws in particular since about the 4th game or so. It has made me wonder if there is some physical issue not being talked about.

I believe the entire team will be better...we had growing pains with two new coordinators, and I expect things to improve.

I agree with this

quote:

Hopefully BK does some soul-searching and an honest assessment of coaching performance this year and fix what can be fixed.

---

I think he already knows some of the things he needs to work on but maybe feels midseason is a difficult time to fix some of those things. At least I hope that is the case.

In his third year at Michigan, Jim Harbaugh went 8-5. In his fifth year, he went 9-4 (with a blow out loss to Ohio State at home).

Nick Saban went 8-5 in his third year at LSU and won the Natty the next season. then went 9-3

Yesterday got me fired up for the program...please don't write it off yet...

I'm a sunshine pumper so

I was referring to Nuss. Not BK

Nuss needs to condition on the off seasom, try to pick up a step or two and get stronger to take hits. He will need to run more to improve his game and the teams chance to have a great year.

I know. If Nuss doesn't come back, BK will be in a world of shite this time next year with LSU fans demanding his head on a platter. We could then only hope the buyout will still be too high. But if the team really tanks, 1999 style, I don't think any buyout would be too high.

8-4 is a whole universe better than 4-8.

This sounds great but Nuss has been in the program for years and has had time to learn the offense and still shite the bed

Doesn't matter how long he's been at LSU, he wasn't seeing the field because he was behind a heisman winner. And practice is no where near the same as live game time. In practice there's no consequences for bad throws. Neither Burrow nor Daniels were great in their 1st yr of starting at LSU, and Daniels was a 4 yr starter! While Burrow hadn't had real game time, just like Nuss, Burrow vastly improved his 2nd yr starting, which is think Nuss will do the same. He definitely has the potential to do, he can make everything throw on the field

That turd Underwood played us the entire time to get more money out of Michigan. Glad we didn't pay him. I hope he is a big bust.

This is the only thing I disagree with. He’s a kid. I think he wanted to be a Tiger, but he probably had pressure from his family, extended family, teachers and classmates, pastor, etc. When you are 17 and someone offers you $12 mil, you lose whatever sense of reality you had, which is already skewed at a young age.

If you wanna blame anybody, blame the system, Portnoy, and influencers.

As for him being a bust…I don’t care either way. He’s not going to a rival of LSU. The amount of 5-star QBs that stay at the school with which they signed and succeeded at a high level isn’t crazy high.

I'd go even further and say people need to chill on believing the media and finebaum narratives. Lsu finishing 9 and 4 this year isn't the end of the world and the recruiting class should have never been the focus OVER what he does in the portal in a couple of weeks.

Upgrade the defense and secure a good O line and you're going to be very very competitive next year.

Look at this JuJu to colorado narrative. The truth is juju was the second best qb recruit going to usc this year not 2nd best in ncaa according to 247.
