re: What are our standards for a coach?

the results of Indiana football is my desire. Man that is one thing I never thought I would say.

I don't think we'll ever reach that level of consistency again.

There was a sweet spot in there where LSU was recruiting really well and keeping a lot of Louisiana kids, it helped that Saban hadn't really started rolling at Alabama.

Now we have Texas, Texas A&M, and other schools outbidding us, and we can't stack talent like we used to.

This leads to LSU having lower end top 10 talent and only putting together a really good team every 5 years or so.

You simply cant compare the few back to back years where we won wilh Miles. Saban had 5 losses and 3 losses bracketing 2003. O had a good run up to 2019.

But I dont think any program will see year to year dominance, I dont think you can depend on HS recruiting no matter who you are.

There are so many factors that go into that prior success. Our defenses back then were absolutely dominant, like Bama’s, but rule changes have basically eliminated the dominant, punishing style, defenses of the past. We split 50/50 zone and man to man when back then it was heavily man to man. Everything today revolves around the QB and timing a great QB with the pieces around him. We won championships with Mauck and Flynn. People would be losing their minds if either of those two were starting based on their stats. Burrow had 8 other NFL players on that offense and they were mostly 4th and 5th year guys, except for Chase I believe. Also, LA recruiting is not putting out as many highly rated big uglies like we used to which was the foundation of those dominant teams. I really believe any coach that can sustain 9 wins each year with an 8 game SEC schedule is successful. The best way to do that is to have a lot of 21, 22, and 23 year old grown arse men on the field, especially on the lines. Build a program that develops players and you will see sustained success.

Saban? Nope.

All I want is a coach that doesn’t say, “We have the most talented team ‘Ive ever coached,” in preseason. Then 6 games into a 12-game season he says, “we have a lot of things that we need to work on”.

And we are 2.5 pt dog to Vandy???!! They must be wearing snow parkas in hell right now.

Anybody that purchases anything from AllevaAramark inside PIMger Stadium are really living in Fantasy Land if they think anything will ever be fixed.

Bring a bag of peanuts and a bottle of water with you If you can't survive longer that 3-4 hours without food, maybe stay at home to satiate your food addiction.

Focus on the LSU Tigers and yell loudly for them. (Not obsessing on AllevaAramark garbage)

BTW, If I'm the AD, I'm selling water, soft/sports drinks and peanuts. That's It! It's a fricking football game, not a restaurant.

win every game by at least 30

That joke really triggered you huh?

How about a coach that can field an offense with a pulse that’s not in the bottom half of college football. Also it would be nice when we get a decent offense our defense is also not terrible. So an actual complete team that’s decent on both sides of the ball. For a cool 10 million a year Kelly hasn’t been able to manage that.

Saban will return and retire a Tiger. Have to do it this year tho.

Saban has figured out what Kelly hasn’t. This era of college football is extremely difficult and has passed him by. He left at the right time. Kelly doesn’t have what it takes to put together a complete team in this shifting landscape.
