Possibly, but I will still go with 9-3. This is a talented team, but a new OL and un-proven defense will be the reasons. If both of these prove to be as good as advertised, then 10-2 is a real possibility. We will know a lot more come late Saturday evening.

Kelly could go 0-12 and not get fired. 50 mil buyout is a preposterous number.

Agreed. There's a zero percent chance he's getting fired in the next few years.

I listen to Pate a good bit, and he's really high on Florida and Oklahoma, so not surprised by this at all. He tends to hone in on a couple teams and give himself a bit of tunnel vision. I still enjoy his show anyway

Fired… retired… whatever it’s called. Would be his last season at LSU.

He said last week Mateer is the best QB in the SEC and it’s not even close

@Clemson
USCe
@Ole Miss
TexasA&M
Florida
@Bama
@Oklahoma

Losing 3 or 4 games really isn’t that far fetched.

Scott is terrible negotiating head football coach contracts.

I listened to his show this morning. His reasoning is that he doesn’t fully trust our run game and o-line. We also have a very difficult schedule early in the season, so the o-line doesn’t have time to gel.

He’s said he loves our defense and thinks we might have the best defensive staff in the country and Austin Thomas is probably the best “GM” in the country.

He also thinks if we beat Clemson and the o-line/run game look ok we’re immediately a national title contender.

His overall assessment of the team has seemed perfectly reasonable to me every time I listen.

This. CBK is Mr. 9-3. Losing one more game he shouldn't ain’t far fetched at all.

Pate isn’t as high on LSU as LSU fans are…omgggg

I don’t even listen to his show but I swear that dude glazed LSU the entire time until he moved to On3. Then suddenly Alabama came into the fold.

I would think he just makes the rounds saying provocative takes to get clicks. But hey maybe our OL doesn’t see the light?

BK should be fired at 8-4 bc never year will be even harder



In this era of football no one is paying that buyout.

They will just dump more money into NIL and etc instead

The switch up on this site for Josh Pate depending on the day is comical.

He compliments LSU? He's the smartest guy in sports media. He doesn't think LSU is going to do great? He's a hack, the worst ever, blah blah.

His stats vs P4 opponents are abysmal lol. He is not better then Nuss, lagway, sellers or arch. This is exactly what I mean by his preseason takes are outlandish

I think if it happens, you see them pursue the highest end dual thread QB they can with 2 or more years left of eligibility.

You see a moderate spending year otherwise, and then a large large large spending year the next year.

Then after that you're getting in to one year left before a buyout becomes real talk.
