I didn’t see anything new to speak of. We just did what we always do. LSU just has more talent than Baylor.

The only new wrinkle I saw was the direct snap to the running back. That was pretty nice.

And had the struggles of a 1st year starter. Lots of ups & downs.

Because of injuries. He also had struggles of up & down play.

Another true freshmen

Not every player is ready to play & play consistent as a freshman. Those type of players are rare.

That was complete makeshift line from started the season. It's sad someone should even have to explain that to you.

Yes as a resident of Louisiana and a season ticket holder - I am. Let me get this right - you can’t complain about someone you don’t pay their salary? LMAO. I guess I can’t complain when D. Carr throws a pick six bc I don't pay his salary. My word.


It's one thing to say Carr is a bad quarterback, it's another to constantly complain about his salary.

Just a weird look IMO

If he plays like shite it ain’t. You can’t demand top pay and play average - or demand top pay and coach average. You’re being paid to be #1.

Really? My word you folks are crazy. He demanded top dollar and hasn’t made playoffs yet. It got Jimbo fired and will get Deboer fired. It may get Day fired. 5/6th in SEC ain’t cutting it. He’s got a year or 2, but his words were to judge him in year 3. He ain’t getting $10 million a year be fall out of top 20.

Average at LSU is 8-5, too many resources - it will get your arse fired - this ain’t Ole Miss. Try it at Bama and see what it gets you.

BK isn't even a top 5 paid head coach, not sure what you mean by "top dollar."

He also has one of the better win percentages of any coach in this conference.

Jimbo got 6 years, Kelly likely gets that as well.

I can't recall all of that, I do remember that Riley got paid more just that cycle though.

How did Kelly & his agent demand anything? He already had a job with a nice contract.

quote:

but his words were to judge him in year 3


Which he should have never said being that he was starting 1st year starter at QB, lost two 1st round WRs to the NFL, repleced his DC & had a severe lack of talent on the defensive side of the ball.

He ain’t getting $10 million a year be fall out of top 20.


First off, this is first season outside of the top 20 at LSU. Secondly, who is forking out his buyout this soon?

He’s in the top 7 and was top 2/3 when he signed. Several above him won NC at their schools, which increased their pay to make them pass him. He wins one at LSU and he will be in top 2/3 again. Again, he ain’t paid to go 3-8. He’s paid to win 10 or more and compete for NC. We have yet to compete for one. Will he? Maybe it’s coming.

Saban - $11.41 million

Dabo - $11.1 million

Smart - $13.28 million

Sarkisian - $10. 3 million

The only coaches to win a championship since he was hired are Kirby and Jim Harbaugh...

Kelly wasn't even top 2/3 in the SEC when he signed. Saban, Smart, Sark & made more & Jimbo was just below.

Kirby jumped him, Dabo jumped him and Saban jumped him - all have NC. Total contract worth. Total contract worth
