#1 and most importantly, drop the 1/3 Saban, 1/3 Pete Carroll, 1/3 Ole Miss-Kiffin act. It's your program. Don't copy other coaches and certainly don't say it publicly when you do. Feels very inauthentic and lame.

#2 Drop the Ole Miss small school mentality. You don't need to fight for scraps or attention here. LSU football gets plenty on its own. You don't need to whine in your pressers about every perceived slight.

#3 Stop the non-LSU celebrities on the Tiger walk until the team is rolling and worthy of it. When you do that and lose, you just look like a jackass.

#4 Start recruiting more Louisiana players. We've been over this many times. Less than half of our 2027 recruiting class is from Louisiana. Money already makes kids like mercenaries, but at least Louisiana kids generally care about winning at LSU.

#5 Call the game with some sack, but not reckless. Feels like he got in his feelings about the Kentucky game and now wants to prove that he's not a p*ssy. People want to win, they don't really care how you get there. Sometimes living to fight another day is the right call.

I agree that it is important to have as many Louisiana kids on our roster as possible. I'm fine with taking our high 3-star and 4-star guys as they are more likely to develop without transferring out

Imagine passing over Corey Barber Jr or Deuce Geralds bc they’re not from Louisiana

The LA kids are going to transfer anyways if they’re not good enough.

I don’t think he ever said “don’t recruit guys that aren’t from Louisiana”

Y’all got me out here defending Pirate King and I hate defending Pirate King

A 20 min walk has absolutely nothing to do with the play on the field. I get it, though... when things arent going well, its natural to start nitpicking about stuff that dont even matter to the problem on the football field.

...but I agree with everything else. Especially #4. Homegrown Louisiana elite talent is what makes LSU football really unique. That was my main gripe with BK. He got here and started looking everywhere else but in his backyard.

Deuce actually is from LA. Him and Richard Anderson played on the same youth fb team. Still has a tone of family that lives here. He moved to GA with he was 8

I don't remember saying a cross word about Lane this season until the loss to Bama. It's a completely inexcusable and avoidable loss at home.

I can handle having less talent and getting our arse kicked by a good team. We dominated all the statistical categories and pissed down our leg AT HOME.

I think Lane can get the ship righted, but he needs to reevaluate things. Running it back next year with the same mentality is going to lead to the same result.

If you look at the classes from Saban, Miles, Coach O,
they would target and sign the top 15 to 20 Louisiana players and make up the difference with out of state mainly from Florida, a couple of Texas, and Mississippi players mostly. In most years there would be a drought of talent from Louisiana at 1 or 2 positions and those 3 coaches would fill those with out of state players. That formula seemed to work. The landscape has changed but not to a point where well over half the class should have to be from out of state. Just my opinion.

Barber needs a lot more playing time. Hopefully we have plans to retain him and actually use him next year.
