LSU was not an attractive destination following tPear’s departure. We expected NCAA sanctions limiting the kind of coaches willing to join LSU


That’s why they gave out a 7 year contract…

It is a massive issue that lsu and its donors are funneling more money into women’s basketball, baseball, and even gymnastics than men’s basketball


You go get a basketball coach who will stand on his head and scream for more resources. That’s what Wade, Mulkey and Johnson do to get the resources they need.

It CAN be but it has to be competitive. Like if another school will offer the $$$ w less strings attached you’re just hurting your own ability to recruit/sign players….


Everyone seems to not understand this with sports contracts. The players/coaches are simply pair what the market will pay them. “Prove it” deals only get accepted when nobody else is willing to pay a player/coach.

Have always liked Durham but he seemed to lack vision at times last year. A new RB coach will help him develop.


An arguably more concerning thing is he didn’t have the same speed and burst. Not sure if it’s just lingering injuries, needs to trim some weight or what, but he wasn’t the same athlete as his freshman year.
It’s at the Johnny Jones “hope they get beat by 20 a night to ensure something happens” point of this tenure.
We have found out that the NCAA can do nothing and has no authority. That’s about it.

Time to short Costco
Im glad we haven’t blown money just to do it it so far. In an ideal world, you do exactly what ole miss has been doing under Kiffin, but you have the additional funds to secure more depth and a couple more impact guys. Kiffin kind of took shots at us for having the most expensive DB room in CFB and he was apparently in on all of those transfers before getting priced out. Just think if he had the money to land Delane and Haulcey.

This, and we’ve been playing SWAC teams for 2 months. The first 2 teams we play with a pulse make them look like they’ve never played basketball together.

It's clear you haven't paid any attention to basketball this season. LSU's best player and starting PG isn't playing today. Also, Reed, who was a solid portion of the 6-man rotation, is out for the season.


Year zero again
Maybe a distraction, but OM is going to have no issue of taking credit for winning a championship, if they do. Most of the national media will not be crediting Lane, they will be crediting Pete. It’s like when schools take credit for developing a NFL player 2 coaching staffs ago.

And he interacts with them during the game - almost like feeding them advice.


That’s the craziest part. Headset on with Bk turning to him constantly. Do they just like complaining to him or was he actually giving input? Pretty sure he’s never coached in his life. A little different than giving Andrew luck a headset at Stanford.
Dude has to be elite in interviews. He went from Georgia, to LSU to Ohio state and everyone couldn’t wait to see him go.

Green is replaceable


He’s very much not “replaceable”. You could argue he’s a luxury, but he’s the biggest mismatch on the field, so that’s not something you just let walk without doing everything you can to keep him.
Wasn’t Cregg really good with developing but kinda sucked with recruiting? If he’s an analyst, he doesn’t really recruit, so this is a big win for OL coaching.

re: Your thoughts on MVB now?

He was supposed to redshirt and develop, but that was burned with Nuss’ quitting. Maybe he’s willing to actually take the redshirt next season. I would think his decision is going to be based on who we get in the portal and how much eligibility they have.
If you are truly wanting it to act as a retirement fund, it would be a terrible idea. If you just want property, then it’s a great idea.

Im wondering if he chose to stay and thats one reason Wilson has him on the bench


He’s done this multiple times this year and did it to Durham last season. You could go back any year he didn’t have an unquestioned starter in the backfield and find that his rotations are horrible.

Lester is about to come in here to tell you Durham was a way better back than Berry this year.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re going clean slate to ensure they can instill a different culture/work ethic at OL. They underperformed so much that a full reset may be the best option for a turnaround of that position.


I have a hard time seeing this. If it’s mutual, it’s probably more likely that they told some of these players what they were going to offer in NIL and that there would be a competition for their role. I don’t see them telling guys like Adams and Curne to just kick rocks. At worse, I think those guys could be a solid starting RT/RG combo.

I’m curious to know what made Brad Davis so desirable to play for. He really did land a ton of highly rated recruits and retained most of the valuable guys, but he doesn’t seem like he’s a big personality or a really likeable guy. I know a lowly ranked recruit who transferred out because he couldn’t stand him, but he’s clearly in the minority.
