New Mexico is ranked 23rd. LSU ranked 24th. NM whole NIL for sports $3.5 million. Let that sink in.

Not one person has said lane is above criticism


Not it so many words but in practical terms there have been plenty of posts that heavily insinuate it and demean folks who are too stupid to understand the realities and idiots for not being able to see he took over a hopeless situation that can't be resolved in a year - I'm paraphrasing of course, maybe with slight embellishment, but not much.

quote:

throwing a full on tantrum because we aren’t contending in year 1 isn’t really reasonable either.

Yeah, I think throwing a tantrum is a bit embellished too. Lane has earned some criticism, and even one thinks he hasn't, it comes with being a head coach in the SEC.

quote:

Also blindly comparing records and saying the team is basically the exact same as it was a year ago is lazy and dumb. The team is really not far off from being a contender, it’s just missing a few critical pieces.


I'm not sure who said this - but I would agree with you on this. And for that very reason I think it's fine to be disappointed about the season and to say so. Again, Lane will be here for the foreseeable future and have plenty of time to prove his worth.

It takes the right quarterback.


Depending on who you ask, Sam was the no. 1 or 2 ranked available QB. Now as I caution everyone, that did not mean he was the no. 1 or 2 QB in the country, in fact PFF ranked him as no. 14 to start the season. They ranked him No. 11 before Saturday's game FWIW.

I would imagine if they had PFF ratings back when Burrow and JD transferred neither would have been rated that high. Let's hope Same has a similar level of improvement his second year as those two, because it's trending heavily to him being back next year.

Stop with this. He can get credit for year 2 and being innovative in grabbing 26 and 27 year-olds from the portal, but in year 1 he played 1 ranked team in the regular season(Ohio St.) and got blasted. The remaining regular season schedule had a combined record of 26-62 (not including the Div II school). Even adding Ohio St. into that record it would be 33-64 combined record of all D1 teams they played in his first year, so no his first year doesn't mean shite. Their best win was 5-4 Michigan that year.


you're asking this board to use nuance and that's not possible here

They just want to point this one out and say "well he did it! Lane should too!"

Don’t know what to tell you if you don’t want to acknowledge the information and just sulk about the loss. Kiffin made bad decisions in this game, Baker cost us the other 2.



I acknowledged the info with the correct info. I’m not sulking at all. It doesn’t bother me one bit whether we win or lose, my life goes on. I’m just pointing out the fact that the CFB landscape is not the same anymore. There is no roster building. LSU spent a ton of money to compete for a title in year 1. That’s a fact

It’s incorrect that the admin expected LSU to compete for a title this year?

Agree with you 100%. Thanks for being a beacon of rationality.

The amount of stupid posters that downvote you….limits my time here. I use to love this place.

I’m not a smart enough guy to lose the remainder of little intelligence I have left.

Do you think I was genuinely asking you that question or was it maybe rhetorical?

I’ll ask genuinely this time since you don’t understand. Based on everything that happened in the offseason with this program, do you think the admin expected to compete for a championship this year?

I never claimed I was in the admin. I am just asking you because you and others seem to think that wasn’t the case and that he needs time to build a roster first

You told me your wife is and now you’re asking me to answer for others. All you’ve done since I laid out the facts of the situation is try to setup these little trick boxes that serve zero purpose other than a gotcha. You say you’re not sulking and you’re right, that was a huge underestimation of what you’re doing.
