Don’t we have the #2 LB in the country also? (He’s from Texas, switched his commit to Tigers; don’t make me have to go look up his name….

Charles Ross from Houston - Northshore

I mean the transfer portal is available.
So he may have inherited a worse situation than both those guys it's easier to build a roster to win in year one this era than those guys era.
You can go get a top 20 QB in the portal in this era that is able to play in year one. In those guys era you had what you had for at least 2 years.
ED O found that out until 2019.

At least with Miles and Orgeron the players fought like hell.

Pre-2020...not after...

Miles pissed away some of the more talented teams we've ever had because he was too stubborn to change. A lot of those teams were undisciplined and didn't execute either against you guessed it, Alabama.

Kelly is at least proactive in addressing his teams flaws in the offseason, which is something Miles had no interest in doing.

He also doesn't dig in his ear with that moronic expression on the sidelines while he is getting outcoached.

I still kind of like O but Kelly never would've let his hand off the wheel to go chase tail at the expense of the program.

He also doesn't get up to the mic at a press conference and mumble with a cajun accent or just sit up there and say "We uhh.....we uhh......played a quality opponent"

Kelly has his problems to be sure. Even Saban consistently had problems on special teams while he was here and at Bama.

But Kelly is much more articulate than both Miles and O, which is a refreshing change of pace.

I think we are missing the flare Ed Orgeron brought to the table.

What we are missing is the "Joe Brady offense",".....fishing holes.....","we are going to fix it" etc.

I miss the time when the head coach was a shining example of how young gentlemen should behave around the ladies.

I always say a program should hire a coach whose intellect resembles that of the fan base.

That is why Ed was so good on the job. I love those 5-5, 6-7 type seasons. The ups, the down, winning on freakish 55 yard field goals in the middle of fog only possible after an opposing team player with a mensa grade IQ threw a shoe in order to draw an undportsmanlike penalty.

Remember how we battled Kansas State with 35 men on the roster. We became an equal opportunity program that day, allowing a wide receiver to start at QB.

Remember when our coach used to call out opposing fan bases ( 'sissy blue shirt' )

Remember when we earned our first defeat to a sun belt team.

Remember when our superstar OC and our superstar HC almost came to blows.


......I miss all that.
Now we do not see those 5-5, 6-7 seasons any more. Now we see 10-4, 10-3 seasons with Heisman QBs............. ??

Oh really?

He sure addressed DT, CB and Safety

Orgeron flat out sort of quit on the program . When all the staff moved on to better jobs , he could have gone to admin and said “ Wow , I need some help getting new guys !” I think LSU would offer help and advice . But , I am sorry to say , he didn’t do that . I was pulling for Ed . He was colorful .

Whose fault is that? Who hired those inept coaches?

that’s not what I asked you didn’t answer the question

He's won 72% of his games, which has been better than winning 50%.
