I recall how many Ranters were down on Greg Studrawa, but he continued to coach the OL on good teams after leaving LSU.

Davis has plenty of experience and will probably resurface as an OL coach for some major college football program.
I care. I hope to see some guys play that hopefully can contribute next season, provided they do not transfer away from LSU.

Perhaps I did not agree with the majority of Tiger fans, but was hoping Echols would return. I thought a new line coach would help him.

I realize he could still leave the portal and return to LSU, but I doubt that will happen.

So best of luck to him now, wherever he plays next season.

This is the kind of coaching decision that I believe will ultimately catch up to a coach and help expedite his ouster.

That should be good news to those eagerly waiting to see McMahon gone as LSU head coach.
And Denver looks like a team that can contend for titles the next few seasons.
Yes, Willingham should pursue the Michigan job.

It is extremely difficult for a true freshman OL to come in, start and block effectively against SEC competition. Not everyone is such a quick study as Will Campbell was.

He’s an excellent prospect whose best football is in front of him. And as a few above posters noted, his natural position is guard and he was mainly playing tackle this season.

He will benefit from his experience of this past year and it’s a shame LSU can’t benefit from that for the 2026 season.
Looking at some of these posts, you would think a coach never left a football program before.
I hope the opening post is right.

However, I would really like to see both Durham and Berry playing for LSU in 2026.

To the returning players and to the new coaching staff, it is not.

It represents a chance for the new players to show them what they can do. And if gives them some precious extra practice sessions.

It gives the new coaching staff an initial evaluation of those players.
Does this really matter now? It can't be undone.
I like the sarcasm displayed by the OP.

They need to get a closer look at him before the conference schedule begins.
Reading about a few of you describe the severity of shingles either you or someone you know had makes me feel like I lucked out.

I only had it on the back left side and the shirt covered it up, back in 2017.

But it took me two months to get over it. It was painful when I had it, but fortunately, recovered from the effects and really don't notice any effects.

I am going to get the Shingrix vaccine. I am really glad they updated it, as the one before it was from my research, not very effective.
Laird Greens and other Laird products seem to do pretty well for me.
Many here said they felt Arch was overrated.

They may be right.

We'll see what happens at UT next season.
How many times in the past has this board said a coach would not ever get a coaching job again? Even Kansas hired Miles back.

If Kelly wants to coach again, he will.
I do agree that there were massive offensive line holes, but isn't much of that because the coaching by Brad Davis left an awful lot to be desired?

Do you think that with a better offensive line coach, a few of these guys can be much improved next season?
Does he compare to Clowney who is currently with Dallas. He seemed like an awesome talent coming out of high school and did pretty well in college, but like so many others, had injury woes in the NFL.
He did a decent job acting in the movie Towering Inferno.

Hopefully not.

It appears Kiffin will have a few QB's to choose from.

Hopefully, the QB he gets will be as successful as Chambliss was.
