Particularly if he quits dropping passes.
Really.

I think there will be little difference. The oline will still have problems, receivers will still drop some catchable throws, Nuss will still have some footwork issues, and we will still scratch our heads with some of the offensive play calls.

Defensive play will probably mirror what we have seen.

Overall, I expect the enthusiasm from the players/coaches will notch up. Maybe even see some big special teams plays.

He has family connections to a strong political family in New Orleans. IMO, this political family kept him from being fired after his suspension. This same family and its political friends are pushing for Ausberry’s appointment now without LSU hiring an AD search committee!!

The search committee would probably find a more qualified candidate.
It is for this situation that Ausberry should not be considered for the LSU AD position. At a nationally known university like LSU, character issues for which Ausberry was suspended should disqualify him for a senior leadership position.

IMO, his employment should have been terminated for cause over his Title IX failure.

It is hard to believe that state, university, alumni leadership turns a blind eye to this. The personal values many of us learned growing up are being ignored. Sad!!

If LSU wants to be known as a 1st class university with a Top 5 athletics program, LSU should always do a bonafide national search for key positions!! The current chaos at LSU demonstrates a complete lack of leadership!!
This is unbelievable!!! How can LSU hire a person who had been suspended because of violating Title IX rules!!

LSU has fallen off the cliff!!

Wrong. They were called for holding!!
There is concern that current football players may seek to enter the transfer portal. While Brad Davis is a poor oline coach, he does have a solid relationship with several of the black players. Thus, hopefully, he keeps his guys committed to LSU at least until a new staff is hired. With the oline’s performance this year, I expect Davis will be looking for a job unless the new coach believes his recruiting outweighs his poor coaching.
Question:

What qualifies Ausberry to have any say so in hiring a new football coach? Isn’t his reputation questionable?
People,

Kelly didn’t care about winning a championship or facing SEC recruiting wars. His money is guaranteed unless he is fired for cause. He was 60ish years old with $100 million for retirement. Why worry about anything. He’s fixed for life! No pressure, just a middle finger to LSU.
He probably wants a $10million 5 year contract from another athletic director buffoon!!
Kelly checked out when he signed the contract to be LSU’s coach.

Nothing.

Brad Davis recruits black football players well and maintains a close relationship with them at LSU. But, he is a terrible teacher of good techniques and skills. This is why the LSU linemen performed so poorly!!

Kelly knows this and that’s why he wanted to fire him. Kelly finally realized that he needed a good line coach over a good recruiter.
Question: How much will it cost to rebuild the football program 4-5 years from now?

Yes, we have the portal to add players, but is this the consistent way to build a strong program for the future?

Do we fall further behind GA, Bama, OSU, Oregon, A&M , etc while we wait to get rid of Kelly?
Do you know where the Lonesome Ranch is?

Basically, Kelly retired when he signed the LSU contract.
