Playoffs is a realistic expectation but we have a tough schedule



We didn’t fire BK, hire Lane and give him every resource to buy the best roster in college football not to make the playoffs.

Tiger fans are showing plenty of patience now and in fall camp to get this roster to gel, but when Clemson arrives expecting at least performances as good as OM was last year. Patience goes out the window once the games are live, that just comes with the territory.

Lane’s constant posting on social media is an endearing trait now. He misses the playoffs? He’s going to start getting a lot of criticism for living on social media.

In his absence, the team will improve exponentially.

We don't expect Lane to go undefeated in his first year! We will be totally content with 15-1 and a Natty.

This place is not known for patience, so temper your expectations. The first loss will be followed by what $40M should do for us.

It will be interesting to see if we handle it better than A&M did with the most expensive nil team of the day from a few years ago.

What I like about the Rousse regime is we are firing coaches again.

Dumping BK and McMahon was long overdue. I hope Torina gets fired soon as well along with any other LSU coaches not winning.

Sounds like that's probably a question you don't need answered. As it most likely won't apply to you.

No honeymoon period in BR. The money spent on Lane, his staff and the roster, anything less than the playoffs is a failure.

LSU isn't the only school paying a shite ton of money for a roster. BK left a disaster it's reasonable for it to take more than one year to fix everything

Hey 1947, are you a Coutee, LeBeouf, Landreneau, Deshotel, or Miller? Grew up myself near you in Eunice.

We will have a reasonably high ceiling including playoffs, but it's still the SEC and our schedule is pretty tough.

There is no way to tell how this team will gel with so much roster turnover. Further, Leavitt isn't getting any reps in the system. Fortunately Kiffin managed roster turnover at Ole Miss well so he knows what he is doing. Additionally, we finally have a complete, skilled coaching staff unlike Kelly's many slugs It's going to be a work in progress with a few bumps.
