and no doubt, many of you will encourage to continue that trend, but with that said, I have a question. How many on this board would want to return to where we were at the beginning of last season with BK? All the of "I'm done with Kiffin" talk is ludicrous!

Saturday made me want to throw-up! I work in Tuscaloosa almost in the shadow of Bryant-Denny and I will guarantee you that there is no one on this board that despises the Tide any more than I do and I hated losing to them and mostly because of how we lost. In the red zone half of the game and walking away with almost nothing, the FG attempt from 57 yards, and the 4th and 10 call that is still unfathomable to me. But........we lead the conference in total offense and total defense (6th and 19th nationally). Leavitt, who seems to always be this board's prime target, leads the conference in passing yardage and completion percentage. Dillion Jones is the 4th leading rusher in the conference, Jackson Harris is the 2nd receiver, Princewill Umanmielen is 2nd in sacks with Jordan Ross not too far down the line. Would any of these guys be at LSU without CLK?

I will say that I don't care for the "Diva/Tik Tok" side of Kiffin but that is just part of the package and I truly believe that he is among the premier coaches in the nation and given time, the Tigers will hoist the national championship trophy again!

Nothing takes the sting of three losses away, but in my opinion, LSU is light years ahead of where we were just a little over a year ago and I still proudly display my Purple and Gold in a sea of Crimson and White!

Winning changes everything. Beat Texas and fans will be more positive.

Beat Texas and the Tennessee game is also basically for a playoff spot

It really is ridiculous. I am disappointed as much as anyone, but I am tired of the fire everyone and give up talk.

I was just hoping to win some big games this season. I still have my first-class ticket on the Lane train

He needs to beat team worth a damn this season. I guess ultimately it doesn’t matter because he’s not going anywhere, but that would help fan sentiment.

Now that's some glass-half full hopium!

Love the enthusiasm but it's more than just Kiffin. It's the entire shite-show of the game day experience, five star vulgarity with STTDB, and the destruction of whatever tradition we had. GONE.

Frick those fire extinguishers, basketball goals, WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FRICK IS THAT? We used to make side splitting jokes about that and now we think it's cool?

I expected Bama to win bc until i see lsu beat bama more than once every 8 years...bama winning is the norm.

kiffin will be fine. he needs time. in this day of nil and what cignetti did at IU...everyone wants it now and rightfully so. lsu spent 200M+ to basically get the same record as what BK got fired for.

The summer after Saban retired, I was passing through Tuscaloosa and decided to stop off and walk around the perimeter of the stadium. I was thinking after the 15 year dynasty, all that money pouring in, the mecca of college football would be in pristine condition. But it was disappointing. The streets, sidewalks, and landscaping looked like it needed some TLC. And I always say that about the outside of Tiger Stadium, but I think theirs was worse.

Its year 1. 9-3 was my expectation and there was clearly some hope that was generated but its still just year 1 no one should be saying they are out on Kiffin thats laughable.

Bottom line is he needs to beat a team with a pulse. Beating mediocre to decent teams soundly is definitely a welcomed improvement, but we are paying him to beat the better teams on our schedule (which we haven't done).

I have been very disappointed with our complete lack of creativity in the red zone and it has been an ongoing issue that hasn't improved against the better teams. I remain optimistic, but if we lose to Texas and/or Tennessee, this season won't be much different than last season other than much improved stats and larger margin of victories against mediocre to decent teams.

Nobody is thrilled with 7-5, but I'll take 7-5 this year with a brighter looking future down the road as opposed to what Ole Miss is looking at in their future.

Nobody with an IQ above 95 is calling for anybody to be fired. But when I fck something up at work, my boss chews my arse. Lane needs his arse chewed. He got outcoached. It happens. Next season will be better...but he has fckd up twice this season (KY and Bama). He is much better than Kelly's grouchy old arse, but he deserves every bit of the vitriol for Saturday.

7-5 would be a monumental disaster. If we were to follow that disaster ending on Saturday with a home finale loss to a less-than-impressive Texas, and then another loss at Tennessee, we wouldn't have won even one game that we could hang our hat on down the stretch. I don't see what the positive outlook would be if we lose 3 of our last 4 games with everything on the line and end up 7-5 again. I think we will win at least one of the next two, but if we don't, the mood/outlook will not be positive.

He got outcoached in all 3 losses (most vs Bama, least vs Ole Miss).

And he's not facing Saban. Or Kirby. Or Ryan Day. Or Dan Effing Lanning.

With all due respect, based on what?

Hopium?

Again, based on what? 7-5 is equivalent to Kelly's worst season here (7-6, last year and he didn't coach until the end).

I mean, do I think he will be better than Kelly? Probably. But he's going to have to show that.

Lane Kiffin has never achieved anything as a head coach except draw negative attention and quit/get fired.

This. Him shooting himself in the foot cost us those 3 games. He needs to accept the responsibility, and I don't think he has. I understand he has the "Playing to win" mentality, but sometimes playing to win means punting the ball, or taking the 3 points in the redzone.
