re: Will the Athletic Dept finally come up with a policy for retiring numbers?

Tell that to our last two Heisman winners

They clearly don’t know anything about it

Can they read?

Also false. Jersey is not retired. Only retired jerseys are Cannon, Cassanova, Stovall, and Alexander. Bert Jones joins this year. That's it.

---

I didn't mean JD's specific jersey. I was definitely not clear with my verbiage. What I meant was "when a jersey is retired, the jersey itself is retired, but the number isn't."

while I'm at it this is clearly no wonder why LSU didn't win a National Championship under Jayden Daniels. Selfish worried about other people crap

---

Not winning a national championship had nothing to do with Jayden. He did everything possible that year. It was the defense that didn’t do their part. That offense was on par with the 2019 offense.

quote:

---

Joe’s comments last night show that he believed the same thing Jayden did, that their numbers wouldn’t be issued again

Clearly, whether the AD has an official policy or not, it was never communicated to our Heisman QBs

---

Both are trained to watch game film and to read playbooks.

If it was important to them they would have verified the policy available to them on the website. They can read, can’t they?

Does Jayden Daniels think Bryan Kelly’s word was etched in stone?

Burrow seems to acknowledge that he knows it’s just words. Why didn’t Jayden get it in writing…like they teach in college and like his mommy probably knows.

Yes, ignore entitled, soft pussies. Always the best policy.

Correct

Incorrect

Because rewarding bad behavior only invites more

I'd prefer they come up with a policy to not promise recruits things like a jersey number.

I'd prefer we try to get the best possible players on the team.

DJ Pickett was a consensus 5 star, very highly rated guy. After Underwood flipped, it was Pickett, not Harlem Berry, who was the highest rated guy we signed.
He came in, started, and performed well enough to make Freshman All-American. And note, he did that with Delane at the other corner, so teams came at him more often than you'd expect. And he faced guys like Pavia (2nd in the Heisman), Simpson (1st rd pick), Chambliss (preseason All American based on last year's performance) etc.
We fought hard to get him, his final list also included Oregon (been in the last 2 playoffs) and Miami (made the CFP finals). Was also chased by UGA and quite a few others.

He asked if he could keep #5, during his recruiting process- not after the fact. We said yes. Who knows how much that went into his final decision, but you never know. I doubt Oregon or Miami would hesitate to give it to him.

And now, after not getting the number he'd asked to get, his team went 7-6, coach got fired, new guy (Kiffin) coming in and having to recruit people to stay. Again, Oregon or Miami would take him in a heartbeat. Apparently the question of the number came up, or we'd never have this even happen. Kiffin had to decide whether to "respect" a former QB he didn't recruit or coach, who's now in the NFL, or a starting corner on his team that he wanted to retain.

I don't post here much, but I do notice that in general you have some of the worst takes. If you're a troll, I guess the joke's on me.
