Thoughtful response. My original comment was not meant to stimulate a dialogue about who the best coach is in college baseball (I don’t care) but instead a simple observation of flawed logic by the OP; Ie the “best” don’t generate massive failures of the scale seen w/ this ‘26 team. Granted some of their lack of success can be attributed to injuries (outside of CJJs control) but I suspect it more so to reasons of CJJs doing, which he has openly acknowledged. That was quite unexpected and increased my level of overall scrutiny. You just don’t see this result from the “best”. Overly critical? Maybe; but I’m comfortable being that guy. I hope he proves me a fool…

Iran does not have plutonium. They would have to reprocess their reactor fuel rods to obtain and they don’t have the capability to do that.

I may be an outlier with this opinion but I haven’t been impressed with Pearson, Patrick or Ruckert so I don’t see them as strong points on next year’s roster.
I’m not interested in anointing anyone. My point is this year’s team performance should exclude Jay from that anointment because the best in sports don’t allow that to happen. If someone wants to explain how the massive flaws in this team’s performance is not a result of Jay’s actions, I’m all ears to listening to that argument.

I still have confidence in Jay but he is not the “best damn coach in the country” because this level of sub-par performance does not happen w/ the best in any sport.
There are/were massive flaws on this team(players and staff). HC is ultimately responsible for those flaws; I’m shocked as most are that it happened under Jay’s watch. A red flag in HC ability that warrants acknowledging. We’ll see if and how Jay fixes its flaws.

That’s right. Zero reasons why he can’t be successful in year 1.
Somewhat. Top tier HCs, in any sport, should not/do not have drastic drop offs in results esp. when being resourced appropriately. For the best, you just don’t see it. In my judgment, outside the couple of injuries to Evans, Moore and Brown, there doesn’t appear to be any other explanation for the ‘26 team’s subpar performance than inadequate player eval and player development. That’s on Jay and is concerning.

Prematurely pulled Schmidt.
No and nor does she want to. That’s why she has her own vehicle.

What’s undeniable is this has been a pretty putrid five game stretch agst sub-par opponents. Whether this is indicative of how the rest of the season plays out is unclear.
re: Who are we getting for our OL?

Behind most important, QB, Oline is by far the biggest need and my biggest concern. 8 depart and no news on portal Olinemen visiting yet.
Baffling why SEC Network continues to use him on Saturday SEC Nation. He brings absolutely nothing substantive to the panel. Either get another player who understands the game or a former coach to provide that perspective. Finebaum brings NOTHING to the show.
re: Kiffin is the juice this Program desperately needed

Big time agreement here. LSU has/had a nationwide swagger branding and Kiffin’s overt confident, quasi arrogant style plays right into that LSU branding and the type of athlete that is attracted to LSU.
Future is bright for LSU football program right now…

No need to get snotty but looks like you are the one not paying attention to current specifics. If they play hard ball and force him out now, they owe him a $36mil buyout which they are trying to avoid. Doesn’t appear LSU has given LK a contract start date which is giving him the flexibility to negotiate his departure parameters.
Apparently not b/c if they were this would be resolved by now.
re: WHOA!!! WHY would LSU allow him to coach playoffs?
Posted by kobsa on 11/29/25 at 9:24 pm to prplhze2000
No, you’re not missing anything. No one in their right mind at LSU would allow this.
Cite me a single example of an OC or DC who coaches for two different college teams simultaneously? I’m unaware of any that have done this.

You are correct; people supportive aren’t thinking through all the implications. It’s not as simplistic as “others have recruiting duties”. I posted this in previous threads. Think it sums up why it’s stupid for LSU to allow Lane to continue coaching Ole Miss team:
If Kiffin accepts the HC position, in no way should LSU let him continue coaching Ole Miss thru the remainder of their season. One of the key aspects of the contract is what is the start date.
LSU cannot wait until Ole Miss season is over before his start date b/c worst case scenario 1) he’s absent from the December signing period, 2) delays staff hiring/recruitment while other teams are locking those guys down and 3) most importantly he misses the only transfer portal period for the entire football season. LSU cannot take that chance of not having him on staff.
Additionally, you can’t have a HC for two different teams at the same time. That’s a conflict of interest. It’s impossible for Kiffin to put each universities best interest at the forefront of all his decisions; like player transfer conversations at both LSU and Ole Miss.
Sucks for Kiffin and his players but if he wants the LSU job, LSU should mandate he accept the position full-time now and divests of his Ole Miss HC responsibilities the same day. That’s in LSUs best interest…

You have no idea who either of those schools will select as a coach nor whether either will be successful. Pump the brakes on your definitive decade prognostications.

A decade? Not sure how you come to that conclusion.
