Kiffin is showing us that nostalgia can get you left behind.

This is a life and business lesson. No need in not giving your 6-4 DB who was promised #5 and who is currently on the team to placate a guy who can't win ball games for you anymore. Kiffin is the anti-Brian Kelly and he better be!

BK promised the kid 5.
BK also may have said something inconsistent to DJ.
We all know LSU does not retire numbers. LSU retires jerseys. There is no reason to believe that 5 was on the shelf forever and it should not be. 9 should not be on the shelf forever or at least u til a different decision was made which should be after Joe Burrow is 50.

I’m all for giving these kids whatever number they want. If they want 5 or 9 give them the number. They aren’t retired.

Just give them whatever number they want it's just a fricking number who cares Jesus Christ you can actually have more than one of the same number on the same team at the same time so it's dumb to sit there and think that you deserve your number retired because you did this or that. All numbers should be available all the time it's fricking dumb and petty and arrogant.

And under current policy, we can have multiple players recognized in our stadium ring of honor with the same jersey number.
Bert Jones will be the first #7. There will be others honored with the same number.
A portion of the LSU policy reads
They were really on top of counting Bert’s years of completed intercollegiate competition weren’t they?

It wasn’t anyone currently at LSU that promised JD. It was Woodward, O or Kelly. The guy that allegedly told JD that had zero say in anything and isn’t even at LSU anymore.

Big part of BKs problem is,lose trust lose the team.Dont make promises you can’t keep.

What a clusterfrick this whole Brian Kelly LSU thing was.
The jersey bylaws were right there. And they have been there.
Kinda lost in this is the DJ “wore this jersey his whole life” like bruh put on 3 and ball if jerseys don’t mean shite. Wait I thought jerseys don’t mean shite? I’m confused lol

They don't. The fact DJ's negotiation included a jersey # is pretty ridiculous thing to mandate when deciding where you play college football to potentially set you up for life.
Young people's priorities are not in the right place. It might be a byproduct of adults giving these young people everything they want and always saying yes to them.

Man, the amount of drama over jersey numbers in our Bantam Football league is crazy, we have parents of 6 year old wanting to buy a jersey for their kid so he can have a certain number like it means jack squat, kid is 6 and never took a hit yet and you wanna fork over money for a jersey to have a specific number???
The things that matter in football now is asinine, I mean God forbid a player don't get a F7 helmet and thry get a "bucket" thry just have mom poke out $350 for a helmet that they will only fit one season.

The disdain I have for BK is off the charts.

Dude was (and is) such a fricking chode. I’m shamed that I ever tried to buy into him for a minute.

I think it would’ve been fine for JD to say he was displeased with the situation, although it’s weird.
But the letter and now the Heisman, people aren’t taking that series.

from top to bottom --- this is not the same LSU that promised him anything. JD5 tyfys, but the reality is there's nobody in the FO, AD, or HC that were affiliated with the regimen that promised you such things
Posted on 8/15/26 at 9:30 am to burke985
Exactly. It's the last name above the number that matters. When I think of Peterson, Fournette, Honey Badger, etc I don't think of #7. I think of their play and love for LSU.
