Amused Lurker

And people wonder why BK shut it down. He got tired of dealing with Woody’s protected guys. You’ve been saying it.

No. You’re stating unequivocally that the program is bigger than any one person.

This is the only explanation as to why Denbrock left suddenly and the year 2 drop off on D prior to that. Year 1 was a great coaching job by Kelly, House, and Denbrock given the roster and talent although we did sacrifice special teams because we used Polian to build the roster and just didn't have enough players to field a separate special team's squad.

Woody’s guy.

NIL isn’t pay for play. It’s marketing based. So I doubt it unless the sponsor cancels the marketing deal which can’t be tied to pay for play.

Poorest States by Median Household Income (2024 ACS)
Here are the 10 lowest-ranking states:
1. Mississippi — ~$59,127 (the lowest in the nation)
2. West Virginia
3. Louisiana
4. Arkansas
5. New Mexico
6. Alabama
7. Kentucky
8. Oklahoma
9. South Carolina
10. Tennessee

It will be a good measure of the "class" of LSU fans. No matter what you think of Kelly, to boo an LSU player on senior day would be indicative.

Many people hate NIL and transfer portal mentality from players, but how fans treat a player is the mirror of that from a player's perspective. Loyalty goes both ways, and other players will see it.

Same with Nuss. He might be the last of the fifth year Sr. QBs at LSU.

Or as a recruiting trip for the son? Everybody jumps to conclusions…..

I think this is what he’s referencing.


Frank Wilson is the current interim head coach of the LSU Tigers football team as of November 16, 2025.
Background and LSU Connection
• He is a New Orleans native and LSU alumnus.
• Wilson previously served as LSU’s running backs coach and recruiting coordinator from 2010–2015 under Les Miles and Ed Orgeron, earning a reputation as one of the top recruiters in college football (e.g., National Recruiter of the Year honors).
• He left LSU in 2016 to become head coach at UTSA (2016–2019), then coached at McNeese State (2020–2021).
• Brian Kelly rehired him in December 2021 as associate head coach and running backs coach.
• Following Brian Kelly’s firing on October 26, 2025 (after a 34–14 record over ~4 seasons), LSU named Wilson interim head coach for the remainder of the 2025 season.
2022 Sexual Harassment Allegations
In March 2022, former LSU associate athletic director Sharon Lewis amended a federal retaliation/Title IX lawsuit against the university (originally filed in 2021, primarily over mishandling of complaints against former coach Les Miles). The amendment included allegations that Wilson, during his first LSU stint (2010–2015):
• In 2013, entered her office, closed the door, exposed his erect penis, and asked her to touch it.
• On a separate occasion, kissed another female employee without consent.
• Sexually harassed female students and staff from 2012–2016.
Lewis claimed she reported the incidents to LSU administrators (Miriam Segar and Verge Ausberry), but no action was taken. Wilson was not named as a defendant.
LSU’s response at the time: The university stated it was “unaware of any prior allegations against Frank Wilson” and found “no evidence that any such allegations were ever reported to LSU officials” or surfaced in a 2021 independent Title IX review (Husch Blackwell report).
Brian Kelly’s response: Kelly called the allegations “egregious” and “unfounded,” saying they did not affect Wilson’s status and that LSU stood firmly behind him.
Outcome of the broader lawsuit: Lewis’s claims against LSU went to trial, but in 2025 the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals upheld a jury verdict in LSU’s favor, finding insufficient evidence of retaliation (e.g., her 2022 termination was tied to departmental restructuring under Kelly, and decision-makers were unaware of her prior complaints).
No criminal charges were filed against Wilson, and he has denied the allegations (calling them “egregious and not true”). He has remained on staff continuously since 2021 and was elevated to interim head coach in 2025.


It really makes you wonder if Kelly was brought in a as a “squeaky clean” coach to clean house and return to the pre-Sharon Lewis structure? They put the band back together…..

You don’t know what the coaches told him.

So he has total control of the program?
