Unconventional as most always with Joe. But can’t blame an Ohio guy for not knowing deeper tradition. Can’t take any of this seriously as it’s an off the wall question and he just went off the cuff.

He said:
Cannon
Mathieu
Chase
Jefferson
OBJ

Host already included Joe himself. So looks like we’re going to need a bigger mountain for Joe, ha.

Clearly to me you have Cannon & Faulk. The other 2 can go so many different ways, pending criteria and how old you are. If one has to be a coach, then that could get really spicy with our history. I’d probably go Casanova and Dorsey to finish my 4. Burrow only here 2 years makes it hard for me, but damn 2019 is so hard to ignore.

If it's just football, it's Burrow, Daniels, Cannon and then your 4th is going to depend on when you grew up and got into college football. For me it's Faulk.

I just can't leave off Heisman trophy winners, but at the same time it does feel like a slap in the face to those in previous eras who were fully committed to their program for the long haul.

You're gonna get a cease and desist letter from someone's mama.

His attorney and mom said he can't be included on your list.

Agreed on the first three. I think the 4th is one of Stovall, Casanova, or Faulk.

Billy Cannon, Tommy Casanova and Joe Burrow are three that must be there.

Kevin Faulk is a good number 4 because he was a 3x first team all-SEC like Casanova, but Tommy was also a 2x All-American back when we rarely had players recognized nationally.

For an LSU Mr Rushmore, it has to be for what they did while at LSU. Joe’s 2019 season is enough for him to get in.

Nobody ever mentions Charles Alexander. He ran for a ton of yards back before LSU had discovered the merits of having a passing game. Which meant, of course, that defenses could focus on stopping LSU's running game.

No one in CFB history has ever done what Tyrann Mathieu did.

There is no LSU Sports Mount Rushmore without the Pistol at the top.

Burrow, Cannon, Casanova, Dorsey

but yeah, Faulk, Mathieu, Peterson and Jayden right there... then Alexander and Stovall. Next up would be be Bert Jones, Reed, Chase, Fourentte, Nabers, Hilliard, Lavalais, Tinsley, Doc Fenton, Delpit and Mo Claiborne to round out the top 21.

Based on "greatest career as an LSU Tiger" not "greatest football player who went to LSU"

NFL careers are a essentially a tiebreaker at most. Think 40% individual dominance and awards, 25% team/championship impact, 20% career body of work and records, 10% era adjusted historical significance and 5% LSU iconic moments.

All I know is Dorsey is not on the list. Great player but people like to put him on there to not be obvious. Marcus Spears/Lavalais could be on there if you do dorsey
