Notre Dame are just being pussies.
Losing their meaningless bowl game would validate the committee’s decision to keep them out. With Jeremiah Love injured, and it being a “meaningless” bowl game, I could see them losing.

Might be smart for them to sit this one out for their future playoff arguments. Still cowardly of them though.

I received a personalized video from my doctor after a visit a few weeks ago. It was awesome, my doctor said my name, went over what we discussed and even had comments that were specific to my situation..it was all AI, yet looked very real.

The amount of people that probably believe their doctor really recorded a 2-3 minute video for them is great for business, but huge concern of AI saying something wrong. Seems dangerous.

Wouldn’t put it past an AD making a short term emotional decision over the better logical choice after the decisions Ole Miss made these past few weeks.

Hopefully not Nic Anderson. He was extremely underwhelming
He was, no doubt. I still want him back. I think there’s a very high chance the offensive scheme did him, Hilton, and Barrion Brown wrong.

Their skill set lives in routes greater than 10 yards down the field, and we didn’t call those plays. At least Barrion showed off his blocking prowess.

Any way you slice it, he’s still going to a conference rival.

Now that that’s settled, Ole Miss has to make a decision. Are you trying to win football games, or save face. They chose emotion and optics. Last I checked, the school Kiffin went to has zero effect on the actual game.
I re-watched that game recently, and the offensive creativity and execution was awesome. I have no idea what happened the rest of the season.

The problem with the eye test when teams are that close, is the eye test can be wrong.

We’ve all picked games wrong before.
That’s cause we’re Fightin’ Tigers
Ole Miss potentially gets 2 teams they’ve already played this season to compare results of a Golding coached team vs a Kiffin coached team:

Tulane, Kiffin won by 35
UGA, Kiffin lost by 8

Not very meaningful, but interesting.

What do you mean by make Frank whatever you want him to be?

First of all, he already stated he will not stay unless he’s an assistant, and I don’t blame him.

Second, he can’t be an assistant with the current 8 (+ O-Line & Kevin Smith) assistants under contract. He can’t recruit off campus as an analyst.

Let’s break it down. 11 off-campus recruiting personnel allowed:

HC - Lane Kiffin
OC - Charlie Weis Jr
DC - Blake Baker

O-Line- TBD (Eric Wolford?)
RB - Kevin Smith
TE - Joe Cox
WR - George McDonald

DT - Elijah Robinson
EDGE - Kevin Peoples
CB - Corey Raymond
S - Jake Olsen

One of these coaches is not going to take a demotion to an analyst role. And you can’t designate an analyst as an off campus recruiter.

The only way I see it happening (if Kevin Smith is hired, of course) is if Eric Wolford is an analyst and LSU goes without an O-Line assistant. I haven’t heard what his role would be, but we still would need an O-Line assistant. Going without one is not happening.

They will figure it out. Frank isn't going anywhere.
The only way to figure it out is retain him as RB coach, which isn’t happening.

There is no other realistic way.

He’s not staying without an on field assistant role. If Lane brings Kevin Smith, there won’t be one available, you can only have 10.

Even if he accepted an analyst-type role, he wouldn’t be able to recruit away from LSU if he wasn’t one of the 10 on field assistants.

Hate it, and it sucks losing him. But at least Kevin Smith is a beast and increases the chances Lane brings Kewan Lacy to BR.

re: Blake is a rental at this point.

Lane is a probably a rental. I would not bet on him retiring here.
What would lead you to believe this? :lol:

Get us back on track, win a natty or two, then decide if you want to stamp your legacy at LSU or try your hand at the NFL again. Fine with that

Alabama wins, do you punish Georgia because they earned the right to play in the SEC Championship, and drop them from the top 4? This would mean no SEC team is in the top 4 unless you move a 2 loss Bama all the way up from 9 to 4.
The word on the street is that they told Golding he would be interim, but Kiffin wanted him to come to BR.

So Golding countered by saying he’d only stay if they made him permanent, hence why he was only interim for about an hour before the interim tag was removed.

OM has no balls or leverage, and they know it.

Kiffin was smart to skip this. Would have been a Lane bashing session.
Would have been nice if Saban could have given him the questions before hand. And Lane could have shoved his answers up Reece’s arse.

I don’t know much about E-Rob. From what I’m seeing people say, he’s an elite recruiter but an average coach.
I think he coached DeMarvin Leal and Daylon Mack at A&M, both 5 stars that went 3rd & 4th rounds. But it’s not like these dudes were duds.
Brent Venables and Dabo Swinney both made the jump as coordinators to big time HC. Clemson does the Associated HC tag, maybe do that for Baker.

There’s definitely a positive track record of top tier schools hiring elite DCs with no HC experience and it working out.

Filling an OLine via portal feels like a heavy lift

I understand our OL sucked. That’s an understatement but guys can improve greatly over an offseason in college with coaching that’s worth a crap?

Am I foolish for thinking we might already have 3 starters on the team and only need 2 more (not including high upside backups):

OT: Tyree Adams
OG: Carius Curne
C: Braelin Moore

These guys are still young and have experience and potential. Let them fight for a starting role and could be a solid backup:
- Weston Davis
- Ory Williams
- Coen Echols
- Solomon Thomas

Not saying we shouldn’t go get upgrades at all 5 positions, and Braelin Moore is iffy, but the cupboard might not be as bare as it seems.
