Way to easy to blame Kelly. Hard core reality, lack of money is the real problem.

Underwood is the big news. However, we couldn’t pay enough for two DT’s. We lost your potential starting center to the transfer portal in Martinez, we lost Heard to Tennessee. We lost Ondre Evans to UGA Trey Harris is at ole Miss instead of lsu.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter who the coach is if you don’t have the players.

Well, that's depressing. That sounds like a big problem.

If LSU doesn't have the money to buy players, maybe LSU should come up with $60 million to buyout Kelly to fix that problem.

We have the third-highest NIL collective behind only Ohio St and Texas, money isn't the problem.

It's how we're allocating it.

We were 3rd this year in NIL money, more than Michigan, Bama, UGA, etc.

Educate yourself.

Then we need a HC like a Lane Kiffin who could do more with less

You believe that? Ole Miss spent less money for Nolan, Harris, etc? Ohio state spent less money for Caleb downs, buskins, the qb etc?

I have common sense my friend. We just had an election cycle where people reported the future president is hitler. It must be true!

You can’t prove it’s not. The evidence is that the top players are going to the schools paying the most. Michigan is 5-5 and doesn’t pass the ball. I’m sure it was moore’s vast coaching knowledge that won out.

Maybe find a better coach at around the 5-7M a year mark and you would have more for the players?

Nah...

He's the fricking coach. It's his job to sell it to the money men to pay for it and he's a failure at that as well. What the hell does he do to earn 10 million a year.

Damn, you're ignorant.

Ole MIss spent millions and millions in the portal last year, and Kiffin did not beat Kelly this year.

You want to hire a coach to replace a coach he did not beat this year, and spend $60 million to fire the coach you're replacing.

BK doesn’t fundraise. He doesn’t rub elbows with boosters and convince them to give money. He doesn’t do any of it

This started before BK, he was hired because the other guy who met with everyone and accessible to anyone could get it done either.

Our defensive talent has been subpar since 2020. 4 different d.c.’s over that time. It’s lack of players obviously. What changed to where we struggle to get talented players? NIL

Money is only part of the issue. You watch the games and see us bumbling around on offense committing stupid penalties and running the same plays with zero success over and over again?

If the money is relatively equal, would you play for this staff right now?

so Michigan decided to get in to the NIUL game this year? why are they 5-5 after winning a national title with all the money they are willing to spend?

We lost a guyu that is getting 12 million and you think that proves we can't compete with our NIL? No other major programs were recruiting the top QB in the country other than LSU and Michigan...since they weren't in the final 2 does that mean LSU and Michigan are the top NIL teams?
