Of course it will

Both sides are incentivized to figure it out. So it will be.

I didn't say that he has to have a say, I actually feel like I said the opposite father down, but he is a Heisman winner, so the number should at least be shelved for a few seasons. I don't blame LSU or Pickett for this at all though. LSU was in a tough spot.


The problem is Pickett was promised the number BEFORE Daniels won the Heisman. It was shelved for 1 season.

Daniels should come out right now and say this got blown way out of bounds. The person that did this has been fired. That he loves LSU and LSU is a big reason that he has made it to where he is currently. In addition he should make a donation to LSU in the amount of $555,555 in each of the next 3 years.
Now he won't fire mom but this is the literally shooting himself in the foot and he may never recover. Going to cost him lots of endorsement $$ and was just the worst possible thing he could have done. He will not be my fantasy QB this year. lol

Not really. LSU has no real reason to compromise and 99% of the negative attention is on Daniels right now.

There’s no official policy LSU needs to follow. Numbers aren’t retired, jerseys are. Daniels was given some “assurances” by the previous staff, but so was Pickett.

LSU has a material reason to want to be able to market a Heisman winner and current NFL star

He went more about me and less about team and that is a disaster he cannot recover from especially at LSU!!!!!

My point was to retire the Jersey of say #7, or even #18 multiple times with the number not being retired, just the named jersey. Retire Daniels Jersey #5 while having the option to later retire Picket #5. .

He could just own and say he hoped number would be retired but his reaction was wrong

He’s turned himself into a laughing stock all over social media. Seen a ton of corporate accounts make jokes like this today

Has Jayden ever said Geaux Tigers since leaving? This dude, as far as I can tell, has been anything but an ambassador for LSU in any way. He had a great year here. That’s it. Dude had no interest in immersing himself into the culture, university or fandom.


Yeah this is some revisionist history right here. This is the first time there’s been any friction between JD and LSU. He’s been back for several games, been in the facility in the offseason, helped recruit when the coaches have asked, and has only spoken glowingly of his time here. This shite is hard to come back from though and definitely shows a lack of gratitude on JDs part. Hopefully JD drops it and apologizes to DJ and the program, he’s a cornerstone of our modern history and shouldn’t be forgotten over something this dumb, even if he asked for it.

Still wish he simply said, "DJ go ball out."

That's what I would have expected from him.

Instead he says his camp and LSU have issues.

JD(Placeholder) doesn't get an out. He's a moron and should be treated as such forever.


I do find it funny that we lost a fig of JD5 to gain a beast in DJ5.
