Do you have $50,000,000 to show him the door?

Im super high on LSU and we could easily lose 3 games against this schedule. I think a lot rides on the opener. If you win, you give yourself a lot of wiggle room in SEC play. Lose and you have to play damn near perfect the rest of the way.

What? LSU is a top destination that pays top dollar

Also, the recruiring would be completely blown up and all that Kelly has brought in to make a Louisiana centric staff, would be blown up too.


You act like Kelly has killed it in recruiting anyway. The next coach can keep whatever staff he wants to and they can make the decision to stay or go. You don't know any of that to be true

Kelly's recruiting

2022- 12th
2023- 5th
2024- 7th
2025- 9th (ON3) 10th(247)
2026- Currently 8th with 18 commits

That's pretty sanguine given the schedule and the inexperience in several positions.

@ Clemson, Florida, @ Ole Miss, S. Carolina, Aggies, @ Vandy, @ Bama, @ Oklahoma ... who thinks that will be easy?

Why "Yikes"? A guy with a youtube channel thinks we'll go 9-3. I say we go 10-2. So what? It's just another opinion...albeit an opinion from a guy more famous than me but definitely not worthy of a Yikes.
________

Have you watched his shows during the season? He is pretty good at breaking down plays and analyzing why certain plays work or not.

I don't know if his prediction will pan out, but give him some cred.

9-3 is a reasonable guess. I am guessing 10-2 same as you. The difference between 11-1 and 8-4 can be a few plays in a few key games. If Nuss has 12 pics (last year's number) we could be at 4 losses and 1 loss if he cuts that in half.

Josh Pate is NOT an LSU advocate. Never has been.

He’s been steadfast in his analysis about LSU saying we are the biggest wild card for him this season. He could see anything from 6-6 to 11-1.

It's just simple math. If we lose to Clemson week 1, to finish 10-2 we'd need to go 10-1 the rest of the way with the following opponents -

Texas A&M
South Carolina
Florida
At Bama
At OU
At Ole Miss

Very unlikely.

Is that really a hot take?

The SEC is a gauntlet.

You're starting the season on the road against a top 5 team. How many times has LSU football won a true road game against a top 5 opponent?

Bama 2019
Bama 2011
Arkansas 2006

anything else come to mind this century?

I agree but I don’t think he’ll be run off this year no matter what.

Kelly is going to be here through 2027 unless he starts missing bowl games. I don’t think that’s a controversial take to anyone who’s plugged into LSU athletics.

Hopefully, he is just tired of getting burned in us like he has the last two years. Still not a good sign, but he did say we could end up beating Clemson and going on a roll. I think he is just down on CBK.

This is put up or shut up time for CBK.


i mean Im really high on this team and Kelly but is it really that much of a stretch for us to lose to clemson and bama on the road and then to OU on the road?

lets say texas and UGA go 11-1 and Bama 11-2

is it really that big of a stretch?

Well, he’s slightly more optimistic than many on here looking at an 8-4 finish being more likely.
