Very concerning. I am optimistic on Kiffin and am fine with the job he’s done so far. But this here needs to change. I don’t care what the in state talent wants. If you believe they’re high impact guys, pay up.

There are plenty of good DCs out there. Hell hire the LA tech defensive coordinator he’s given us hell the last two years. Defense is mostly about players and toughness anyway.

I do think his time is up at LSU. When your defense consistently craps the bed in every big game we have then it’s time to mutually part ways.

Would have spent money a lot more wisely had we bought KY’s portal players on offense than the ones we got. How is paying Berry and Durham close to million dollars each going this season? Dillon Jones is making less than half and he’s actually productive.

Nobody in the SEC besides Bama and Georgia looks elite. Auburn Vandy and Arkansas are all horrible. Then there’s a bunch of middle tier SEC teams. Texas has one of the highest rates of 3 and outs on offense in the country with a Manning at QB. Oklahoma can only beat teams when their defense and special teams score because their offense is so anemic. Texas A&M has one of the worst qbs in America. Miss State has an NFL qb playing on a team with a bunch of scrubs. Ole Miss has an elite QB, RB1, and DT but not much else. Florida has elite skill players but a JAG at qb and a bad defense. Missouri, Tennessee, and Kentucky are very good on one side of the ball but average to below average on the other. And LSU has some decent players on offense and defense but a turnover waiting to happen at QB and some massive holes on the roster due to injury and poor evaluations/coaching. We are right in the middle with all these teams. I think Bama could blow us out but we will be in close games with most of the other teams on our schedule. I would hope we can blow out Auburn but we never play well at Jordan Hare similar to Kroger Field.

Well he’s under immense pressure to win and that gets way harder when your best players are injured. Quite literally one more injury at linebacker or corner and the defense will start to take a step back. We are running out of quality depth at those positions. We’d have to start playing freshmen. National media won’t be kind to him if he goes 8-4 or worse this year. They won’t care about the injuries. And a lot of LSU fans probably won’t either.

Yeah hard to see him back by Texas or Bama. Post season football more likely.

He’s not that physical a back…yet. If he takes the coaching and keeps working hard in the weight room, he’ll be fine. But there’s a chance he’s at Ole Miss next year with Frank, if he doesn’t. We are taking 3 running backs in this class so that sort of tells you what they think of the room at the moment.

If they want to treat one of their largest brands this way, then I’m sure another conference would be happy to take us. One of the best stadium experiences and largest social media followings. Combine that with Lane Train media personality and his prolific offense and that’s why we have so much leverage right now. We will continue to get eye balls and clicks and attention and in this economy that’s all that matters.

It’s week 2 and we don’t look dominant yet. But we have the pieces and the coaching staff. Have faith.

Does LSU have a booster willing to stroke a $20 million check for basketball after pouring so much money into football the last several months? Do we have a booster who cares enough to try and make basketball relevant again here? I’m genuinely asking.
