re: When did our fanbase become so soft?

I wish LSU had a fanbase that was as rabid as Alabama or Georgia where 1 loss means the season was a failure. Those are fanbases that don’t tolerate anything less than what Saban built and then Kirby.
LSU donors bought out Orgeron and Kelly. They didn’t tolerate mediocrity.
Saban, and presumably Kirby, are generational coaches. Alabama was stuck in neutral for the better part of 25 years after Bear, and Georgia even longer post-Dooley. Know your history. It doesn’t matter what you tolerate as a fan.

And Bama fans wanted DeBoer fired and most still do. What’s your point?
I know after Indiana beat them 38-3 nobody wanted him back. And they still don’t support him. The only thing giving him a little leeway right now is the freshman QB giving the appearance of hope for the future
Only psychos wanted him fired after the first season.
If Kiffin makes it to playoffs next year only to get torched, I’d start to get worried.
Also of course you didn’t mention my point about Smart

You meant to ask when did our program become so soft.
Posted on 11/8/26 at 10:25 pm to TexasTiger08
I question if any of these people are fans or just posers.

Paying what it took to get Mulkey is an example of that.
Buying out Orgeron to get a better coach wirh a better resume in Kelly I agree was a move to get better. A move to not tolerate mediocrity’s.
Buying out Kelly to get a guy with a worse resume and more money was simply the swamp wasting money. It’s a faux “see we tried” moment. “We threw money” at the problem,
And keeping McMahon for as long as LSU did is basically saying they don’t care about LSU basketball.
Getting the football equivalent of Mulkey would have been a not tolerating mediocrity move. LSU didn’t do that. Trying something different (such as putting the money on the field and less in the coaching staff) was something they could have tried to get out of the mediocrity. They didn’t try that either. The swamp hired a retread that’s been fired a couple times

Then I shall ask:
How much money did you pony up for a buyout for Kelly or McMahon? Who was your choice to replace Kelly?

If Mulkey is his benchmark the only coach is Kirby and even he isn’t as qualified as Mulkey

No it’s not. Go spend way less money, and go find the next Cignetti. At the very least you’ll be setting yourself up to have a much higher paid roster if you aren’t spending so much on the staff. Even Hester and Flynn think it’s a joke that LSU has 80 coaches. Drain the fn swamp.
LSU did the worst thing they could have done. They paid a ton of money stay in the exact same place. They didn’t try to do anything different.
And I think a Mulkey comp would be getting Urban.

I don’t know but there is definitely a bunch of pussies on this board.

You don’t think Urban Meyer is a championship level coach? I’ve heard the praise and respect he has for Tiger Stadium.
I’d have much rather spent the money to get him, or spent a tiny amount and tried to find the smartest undiscovered coach, than just hire another retread but pay him like he’s the top in the game.

Urban hasn’t coached college football in 8 years
But yeah he’d definitely be better than Kiffin
Your second option is profoundly high risk
But yeah that’s definitely a better idea than hiring Kiffin

Bama fans aren’t happy with their coach either. Just because you go over to the SECr and read a handful of posts from Bama posters laughing at LSU after another loss to them in BR….understand this. They know they can’t run the ball and the entire culture is their team is softer than it was with Saban
Don’t be fooled because they’re gloating today. I promise, they’re terrified about not being able to run the football

I think he'll get it turned around, but seeing other teams turn it around w/ new coaches and rosters that cost a whole lot less, and supposedly w/ a lot less talent, has got a lot of us wondering what the frick is going on. Not too hard to understand the frustration.
This team has shown repeatedly they cannot beat good teams. We all thought the prior two games were definite signs that everything was improving. It was fools gold, and that's probably the biggest drag of all of this; reality. The team is just average.

Caring about winning doesn’t make you soft, and it doesn’t make you weak. Caring about winning makes you more competitive and ultimately better. Happily tolerating failure does not.
There are some players on the LSU Football team that I wish cared more about winning.
Headline in today’s The Athletic:
“LSU isn’t paying Lane Kiffin $13M a year to come close and lose big games”
That’s definitely not what we are paying him for, but that is definitely what he is doing. And it needs to stop.

How many times you gonna post that headline
Look we all care about winning. Everyone here(except the trolls) wants championships.
But I’m not giving up on LSU and Kiffin 9 games into his first season. There have been multiple posts of people giving up season tickets, not supporting the program, etc. That’s pretty damn soft
The salary stuff doesn’t mean much to me and the stuff the media says about Kiffin means absolutely zilch to me.
