Lane Kiffin for $13+ mil/year sure seems like a Woodward-type hire to me. The Rant is pissed off at Woodward for stealing a coach from ND for big money, but over-the-moon about the big fish in this cycle for 3+ million more per year?

Can't wait for all the threads about how much $ Lane is stealing from LSU after our 2nd loss next year.

"Can you offer any specifics on why Woodward and LSU parted ways?"

"It was a mutually mutual decision to part ways."

So the boosters have no say? I guarantee you many "worth a shite" will want to step in. You're emotional and in a sky is falling mindset. Take a midol and do some pilates. You'll get over it.

The boosters aren't idiots. They can see it's a shite show just like everyone else in the country. And good luck trying to get wealthy, business-minded people to donate as much, if at all, to an obvious shite show.

Landry might've spoken into existence the idea that taxpayers will have to pay some portion of facilities or coaching salaries without even realizing it.

He already has half of his appointments on the BOS with a few more coming in the next couple of months. While I hope it does go down as you've stated, I wouldn't hold my breath on a bunch of Landry appointees going against his wishes.

True. I'm holding out hope that they just used him to get the position and see Landry for the grandstanding dumbass that he is.

Every program already offers this more or less... It's just in the form of a raise and extension with money guaranteed and spread out for a number of years to be more school-friendly.

Which also means that a

would be one of the lesser offers among coaching contracts with the programs LSU wants to compete with.

U need 2 stop posting.

Seriously, time to put the Walmart t-shirt back in the drawer for next season.

Why not go cheaper on the coach and use the difference in money to boost NIL every year to get better players?

---

1) Going cheap on a less-qualified coach could actually be a true disaster regardless of the talent of the team

2) Paying more to players doesn't guarantee anything either, especially being led by a budget coaching staff. They're college kids at the end of the day and are probably even more prone to become complacent after a big payday than mature adult coaches are... See A&M anytime in modern CFB history, Ole Miss last year, and Texas this year

3) We pay the price for top-tier coach qualifications because we are one of the best programs in the country in LSU, and not ULL, La Tech, etc.

[Miles] didn’t suddenly forget how to run an offense after that, he just had to scheme around what he had to work with at QB

He did, and it was worse than you remember, regardless of QB. We wasted so much offensive talent his last 5 or so years because of him, not in spite of him.

See the many toss-dives into the teeth of a Saban-led Alabama defense who was putting 8, sometimes 9 in the box, or refusing to use the middle of the field at all thanks to his own scar-tissue from 2008.

There are too many people that thought like you. Coming into the season, I remember everyday there was a new post about how a receiver was going to have a "breakout" year. Hilton, Brown, N. Anderson, A. Anderson, Parker, Green, Sharp, Thomas were all supposed to "breakout" this year. You even had people convinced that Hill, Watkins, and Billiot would have significant roles. People were delusional. I swear some people thought Nuss was going to throw for 8,000 yards and Durham would lead the conference in yards.

---

I think it was completely reasonable as the receiver room has far more talent and depth than it did last year. What I and others admittedly didn't take into account was that, by trying to get everyone playing time (presumably as a result of the transfer portal to keep everyone satisfied) and maybe keeping our WRs fresh, it hasn't allowed anyone to get into a rhythm or have a great connection with Nuss which is why I think you're seeing a lot of dropped passes or throws where the communication is off.

Also, Nuss not being able to throw the ball downfield for the first 5 games didn't help at all.

Also, Anderson got hurt thanks to a hospital ball and Hilton has fallen into the same bad tendencies that he had last year.

It's a mess... a combination of coaches' mismanagement in-part due to transfer portal/NIL expectations, some players underperforming where there should've been improvement, and some plain-ole bad luck. At the end-of-the-day, it's on Kelly and the coaching staff who should be putting the 3/4 best guys on the field and sticking with them, regardless of transfer fears or pre-season promises.
