Research the law firm representing Kelly. That firm is one of the most prestigious law firms in the US. Best of the best. They know exactly what they are doing.

1) Coaching at ND is very different from coaching a P conference or more specifically an SEC team. At ND you play 3-4 ranked teams per year the rest of the games are against mediocre teams. Gives you the opportunity to jump out ahead most games and rest then begin resting your starters so have less injuries down the road.

2) In the SEC as well as the other P conferences a number of the games against untrained opponents are rivalry games which boosts the competition level. Not generally the case with an independent.

BK’s tenure at ND failed to prepare him for 1 & 2.

3) Early on BK stated he was against using the portal. But all one has to do is tune into any game and within 10-15 minutes they’ll hear the broadcast team talking about one of the playmakers for that particular game having training this season for somewhere. The portal is an integral part of college football whether we like or not. If a team is going to be successful the HC better know how to maximize the portal and have donors lined up to support his decisions.

4) When given the backing to move mountains in the portal you better damn well be capable of using them effectively. BK was pretty given everything including the kitchen sink for the portal this past off season. We know what those retrace been.

5) it’s unrealistic to believe the HC can run every single aspect of the game personally. So the HC needs a top quality staff who are great at managing whatever aspect of the game that is their responsibility. Talent is not the problem. LSU doesn’t hand out jerseys to journeymen players. If they can’t get it done then the plan sucked.

6) It took 3.5 seasons for BK to realize it wasn’t the players fault. Unfortunately the decision maker’s patience ended before he had that epiphany.

You weren’t saying that last year when you were sucking his hog while LSU was averaging a school record 8.4 yards per play. You’re a victim of the moment. An emotional wreck. Worry about what you can control, which is your feminine energy.

So you’ve never been wrong or realized something you hoped would work out didn’t? Or you simply don’t have the balls to admit such.

I was hopeful things would turn around. But they didn’t. Instead the hole keeps getting deeper.

At the moment we don’t have any recruits just verbal commitments. I’ll be much happier when they actually enroll. A lot can happen between then and now. Let’s hope this train wreck of a season don’t dissuade them from coming.

Underwood is only a verbal commitment. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s already considering going elsewhere. Why would he want to come to this dumpster fire?

Either or is fine with me. Kinda depends on the score.

Let me see if I have this correct….

1) The sun, the moon, the stars, the northern lights, Pluto and Youranus as well as all of the other planets and God knows what else has to line up.

2) We somehow win out (I’m hopeful but not holding my breath).

This leads to LSU getting the number 2 seed to the SECCG.

We show up in Atlanta and once more get our asses handed to us because we can’t tackle. We don’t jam receivers on the line which would give our line more time to pressure the QB. We can’t open a hole so our RB can rush the ball creating a dual threat that would force the defense to commit to defending both the run and the pass. We have a QB who is afraid to take a hit so he panics every time he’s in the pocket.

I’ll be happy if we simply win out then go to a mid tier bowl we can win and start working on fixing what’s broken so we do better next year.

Not at all. Use incentives to make him the highest paid. If he performs he makes measurably more than any coach. If not then he’s paid for what he does produce. If LSU ends up in the middle of the pack then he’s paid about half of what the coach who wins the title game is paid.

55-49

Jump Ole Miss???

For that to happen PSU has to not just beat Ole Miss, they will need to dominate them. A close game probably won’t move LSU above Ole Miss because of the debacle on 9/30. So I’m not sure I’d take that bet.

On the other hand, PSU will take the field and be ready to play. Ole Miss is not so predictable. If they don’t bring their A game PSU make Ole Miss look like old piss. If that happens then it’s possible LSU would jump them. But only is LSU has an excellent day.

I’ve seen some dumb ideas, but this has to rank near if not at the top of that list.

In order for a PUBLIC university to manage those funds they must have some sort of control of them. For them to control those funds they would in some way have to become at least quasi-public funds.

Once that money enters that area, every elected member of a state’s legislature is going to try to exercise some sort of control. There will be those who will attempt to tap them to shore up some budget shortfall. Others will try to use them to create some new entitlement. They will also be used as leverage to get someone to vote a certain way or they will vote against dispersing the funds.

On the other hand, it would be as Edwin Edwards once said “sweeter than a full pardon” for private schools like Notre Dame who aren’t beholden to elected officials.

Run, run away very fast.
