You've said this twice. I literally do not understand the point you're trying to make there.

I'm not "throwing out" anything as far as I know.

What the frick are you even doing here, then? Are you Lane Kiffin? Do you have a kid on the team?

I'm sorry, but everyone who is broadly in the fandom has a voice.

I'm not saying that the expectation to win 10 or 11 games and push into the playoffs in year 1 wasn't pie in the sky

It shouldn’t be pie in the sky. We can’t finish as one of the top 12 teams in the nation?

We are going to finish the 12 team CFP playoff without getting in once. A&M and Tennessee did it, and I would consider them worse programs than us

I mean, you're preaching to the choir with me on the second part. I am conceding the point about the "Year 1" issue. It's valid, Indiana and UCLA notwithstanding.

On the other hand, they seem to think that nothing that happens is criticizable or you're an "idiot" or "moron", which I also don't understand.

It was too much to expect that LSU, with a billion dollar brand would make it to a 12-team playoff? It doesn't feel like that was too much to expect.

But, we're just emotionally children, I suppose, to notice that this 8-figure coaching staff gets routinely outcoached in big games, Year 1 or not.

ETA: (My point about "push" was an expectation to, say, win a playoff game, not necessarily to make the 12-team field.)

At a certain point, the boosters will balk if they do not see results.

That is the danger of futzing around with getting outcoached and embarrassed in 2026 - "Year 1" or not. That's the reality. Todd Graves can do anything with his money. Gordon can shift his marketing budget elsewhere. Etc.

Obviously not losing it like you. Obviously not shitting all over the board like you.
Obviously not drawing any self worth from a football game.

I’m not trying to convince you of anything. It isn’t possible you don’t see it for yourself. That’s why you are getting so defensive.

It’s just a fricking football game. Quit acting like it’s life or death and a personal assault to your character that the university of lsu football team lost a GAME.

No. Hundreds of millions have been spent to get outcoached and lose THREE football games. OUTCOACHED, and it is the coaches (both newly fired and newly hired) that account for the bulk of that money. Plus the "upgrades" for the players they picked to come here.

It is not life or death. It is amusing that this much effort has been put into firing Brian Kelly, bringing in Lane Kiffin for, essentially, identical results.

You don't find that the least bit funny?

Internet tough guy wig splitter seems very stupid.
Calls out the wrong numbers. Then gets defensive. Then tells others to log off.

Try to toughen up wig splitter.

Having been around A LOT of LDS folks, this means nothing.

That's like defending charges that Person X has a drinking problem with a statement, "He's Baptist."

Considering his brother played for BYU and his dad was working at BYU and they even relocated to Utah I'd assume they're pretty serious Mormons. Does that mean he is a perfect Mormon? Probably not. Considering everyone has seen his diet and daily routine I would doubt that guy drinks much at all if he even does.
