Did Kiffin actually say this last night? “Sometimes you have years where you get the breaks & they go your way. Sometimes you don't. Unfortunately for our fans, it just happened in the first year in the game (vs. UK) and in some injury situations"


I’m tired of the excuses the guy makes. Injuries are part of the sport. Kentucky had a ton of injuries going into our game. MSUs star QB likely isn’t playing this week. Additionally, what is he referring to Kentucky breaks? The breaks didn’t go our way because he coached not to lose. I know the officiating was one sided, but LSU should have been in a spot to not let thy impact the game if we are where we want to be as a team. Bama beat them by 28. In starting to worry about his built in excuses. It’s not the mindset I want my coach to have. I truly am starting to doubt that he has what it takes to elevate us to the type program Kirby Smart built.

I also have heard many people talk about how he preached patience. I think this is yet another built in excuse. We have given him every resource/money/coach he needs to win immediately. It’s not a good look imo even if he is technically correct

Looking, very briefly, at your post history - it's quite obvious that you're a troll (likely a fan of another team, prolly Bama), or you have a very unhappy life.

Would you like to tell us which?

Nearly 100% of these post are coming from posters with very low post counts.

Time to drain the swamp?

A guy who has posted 95k times tell me I have an unhappy life. I just tell it like it is. you know I’m probably right hence your crazy reaction . That mindset is a problem imo. No one wants to hear excuses from a head coach.

How is he wrong?

Leavitt has had an incredibly unlucky season with turnovers (most of which arent on him).

Some of our best players have gone down with extended injuries (Green, Whit, Spears) plus our QB dealing with an injury he mostly just played through taking away one of his best abilities for a couple games.

Kentucky's injuries were to a bunch of backups, not elite level starting players like Green/Whit/Spears. It's pretty nuts to have some of your best players go out for most of the year like that early on in the season. Reliford would have been nice to have in the EDGE room as well as dont really rotate guys much there outside the Top 3. Phillip Wright looks like a boss early on at WR and then goes down himself.

We've had some pretty rough injuries very early on in the season we've had to navigate, and unlike other SEC teams, our TRO/court ordered players dont get to play like they do at say Ole Miss.

I mean objectively this team has been pretty unlucky and it's not crazy to say it.

9/16: 25 total roster changes
43/34: 77 total roster changes

One of those totals represents what Georgia did to build their roster this season.
The other reflects LSU’s.

Care to guess which is which.
One reflects a consistent, stable program whose culture and process has been in place for years.
The other is a total rebuild of a roster- both starting and depth because the previous staff made horrible talent evaluations, horrible coaching decisions and built no consistent process nor culture.

I don’t care how many dollars signs you hang on it or how much a fan base screams for immediate success. What makes a successful college football program can’t be bought or built in a year.

I’m not saying this year. I’m saying I have reservations that we will consistently be at their level in 3 years based on the excuses the guy is making. I never hear smart make excuses like this

Excuses or explanations?
Same answers but different perspective.

And you are a gas lighter.

...or you, apparently.

Since you are so unhappy, maybe you should stick to your own schools site?

Then we have a different understanding of the word “immediately”.
