All Josh is good for is "I told you so" when he's right and then silence when he's wrong, which he's wrong more than he's right. So yeah.

Pate tries to come across as this industry insider. He’s as full of shite as the rest.

If you're being honest with yourself you have to know that his prediction seems fairly accurate. History tends to repeat itself and until BK proves otherwise, this is a solid prediction. Can he flip the script and go 10-2...possibly. Talent seems to be here now so let's hope so.

Since when did Josh Pate become Morpheus?

We’ve got to play our game and ignore what a dude sitting in front of a microphone at his house says

If LSU finishes fourth in the SEC that’s a wrap on CBK. Not saying he’d be fired, but I think that we would have seen his high water mark.

Does someone need a hug?

Sorry your life is affected by the predictions of a former fabric warehouse employee turned podcaster. I wasn’t familiar with your fragile emotional state - that’s on me.

Don’t blame Kelly, if LSU would have scheduled a mediocre team at home instead of number 4 Clemson at their place, 9-3 turns into 10-2 with a 6-2 SEC record which probably gets you into the playoffs. How many times do I need to bring this up?

Are you retarded? Do you think anybody would have gotten 10 mill? This is what the hell I'm talking about. You guys are effing delusional.

Also, there are no top tier candidates that would run to LSU from their perches. Where is your short list?

What's your short list?

This will be your argument every year he is kept. At some point you have to back those words up and draw the line.
If he goes 9-3 and wins a 10th game, do you think somebody, that is actually heavily qualified, would come here knowing they could be fired for winning only 10 games?

What? LSU is a top destination that pays top dollar

Some of you don't think. Again, what is your short list? Now that money is involved, every top job has a chance to bring in top recruits. ND, Michigan, Tennessee, Oregon, etc.

Wait, let me guess. Lane Kiffin and Billy Napier, right?
quote:

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
2022 doesn't count. He was literally brought in December and Ed O being horrible destroyed that recruiting class.

So really you have 5th, 7th, 9th, and one that could finish top 8.

However while you pay attention to the rankings, i pay attention to the players. The OL and DL hauls are amazing. The WR class is loaded. Last year the LB RB haul were amazing along with the OL haul and decent DL haul. Back to back years with top corner and safety prospects.

Also we can't forget the portal additions.

Probably would be. And we'd go after Saban.

I think he will be and has already been told this.

He'll either retire or voluntarily resign with a settlement a la Orgeron. (IF the Tigers don't make it)

There's no reason that WE shouldn't make the CFP.

Everything is "Good to Go" outside of OL and Sloan should be able to scheme around the OL shiteshow a la Brady with Burrow..........

I mean, he's not wrong. I hope he's wrong, but CBK hasn't proven that he can get it done in the SEC yet.

I'm a huge skeptic this year and I really hope I can come eat some crow in December

Sorry buddy, we didn’t pay CBK $100,000,000 so he could go out and spend $18,000,000 to build a roster to finish 4th in the SEC. In case Josh doesn’t know, we are taking receipts.
