He’s one of the better ADs in the country. His job to is make elite hires and provide resources to win.

Go back and look at 2021 and tell me which coach would’ve been an upgrade on BK. Even that is hindsight.

He’s not perfect but LSU is not an easy AD job and he navigates it really well. I don’t know if there’s another out there who could step in and do a better job.

It always falls on HC. Good and bad.

Our roster in year three is simply not good enough. It’s not unique to us. There are a few year three head coaches at big programs struggling. The portal and NIL means the way Saban or Les or O built and maintained the roster is no longer the formula and every setback from year one or two still has an impact today. Steeples and Cooks, House, the DL coach situation, all impact us still today.

The one thing I don’t get is the O line. We should be so much better there in the run game. Maybe it’s an identity thing or we just got by last two years because of Jayden’s legs.

But it all lays at the feet of the head coach, win or lose.

Sounds like as far as LSU basketball and what our coaches want, which is all the frick I care about, this is a step backward, not forward.

If our basketball programs can raise $400 million then I am sure TAF would foot the bill and give our coaches everything they want and exactly where they want it.

But in the real world, LSU has limited resources and increasing demand for those resources (NIL chief among them), which means something has to be sacrificed. In this proposal it’s daily access to the competition arena.

Texas has two tournament bound basketball programs including the No. 6 women’s basketball program. It does not appear that daily access to the competition arena is a necessity for them to be a championship level program.

A new state of the art arena at no cost to LSU or the tax payer that both vastly upgrades the game day experience and potentially attracts legitimate entertainment options to town?

Sounds like the best idea Baton Rouge has had in a long time.

Rece went to Bama. I don’t really care what he thinks about LSU.

10th is fair but I think we finish higher. Gotta keep expectations realistic for MM in year one and idk who is going to carry the load on offense

that was great- thanks for sharing

Can someone add more context for us casual Alex Boxers?

Shohei Ohtani is the best two-way player in baseball since Babe Ruth. He's a sub 3.00 ERA pitcher and 40+ HR hitter.

Paul Skenes hit .300 last year with 10+ HR and was 10-3 with a 2.73 ERA.

Crazy that LSU has college baseball's Ohtani and Mike Trout (Crews).

Herb's got more offense in his game. He did it for Bama. Maybe he can do more with the second unit, but with NOP starting five, he just needs to rebound, move the ball and knock down the occasional open 3. He's not a 1 tho.

Very similar start for Harold to Devin White. Harold is actually a little ahead of schedule. Kid's potential is through the roof.
