I wasn’t a big Kiffin fan in the past. But, he seems to have grown up while still having that competitive fire .

THIS! He used to be too immature for my tastes and used to take far too many risks and to try to prove what a genius he was even when the game plan was working. I keep bringing up a Florida Atlantic vs Louisiana Tech game where FAU was destroying the Bulldogs just by running the ball. He decided he wasn't being shown the genius so he started passing the ball. FAU lost the game due to that exact change in philosophy. I can take some of his trolling of other teams but some of the other rants and ego he had, I would take a hard pass on that. But he has toned all that down with agel

Tulane edged out USC in that game as they came back in the last 5 minutes. But quoting history is pretty uselessy. USC isn't going to be Tulane's opponent. This isn't the same Tulane team, etc. That was not a playoff caliber bowl game. This will be and Tulane will be playing either the #5 or #6 seed team in the 12 team field. As I say, Tulane will get BLOWN OUT. We have seen this before...SMU...Boise State, etc.

It’s not an equal path dude.

That Tulane team that I saw was darn shitty. Tulane was +5 in turnovers (3 receiver tipped INTs and a ball hitting a punt returner blocker included) and won the game by 10 points. NT outgained them and dominated the game from the middle of the 3rd quarter on...outscored Tulane 14-3 during that time and had an INT in the endzone and got down to the 15 before the INT near the end of the game. And I was NOT impressed with Sumrall who IMO looked almost disinterested on the sideline...maybe he was facetiming with Florida I don't know. Sumrall looks like Billy Napier 2.0 to me. I never wanted him as LSU coach and after watching that game and the way N Texas GAVE the game away (one of Tulane's TD was a questionable TD off a pick 6), the Green Wave will be a quick out in the playoffs. And the game won't be close.

You first, dickhead!

That clown looks like the type you would need to check to make sure you still had your wallet if you met up with the guy.

we still have the highest average rating in the country.

I was going to mention that. LSU passed Oregon who they had been trailing the entire recruiting season for "highest average rating" per prospect signed. Of course you need quality AND quantity but the quality was taken care of. The portal is going to have to provide quantity and also maintain decent quality of course.

Stupid comment...'nuff said.

I don’t know much about him, but I know UK (and Stoops) were pissed when/how he left for Bama yet they rehired hi

---

That is pretty strong evidence that at least Stoops loved the guy. The only assumption is that Stoops can evaluate OL coaches well. BTW, my choice would have been Sam Pittman, recently fired coach at Arkansas. He was always been highly regarded as an OL coach...head coach...not so much. :lol:

So why have we been stuck with retreads like Pelini or losers like House?

---

Don't know how House got hired by Kelly but I do KNOW that Pelini wasn't even interviewed by Orgeron. Wow! Just went by past reputation even though Pelini's GOOD tenure was before the influx of dual threat/running QBs. Talk about LAZY! I BET that Lane Kiffin will have interviewed the picked the DC or coached against him and known him for years.

I remember when they play a couple years back in Tiger Stadium.

LSU gave Army upmost respect. If I remember correctly, one of the endzones had ARMY on it instead of LSU. And I KNOW that LSU after the game went over to the cadet section to pay tribute to them. Since 99.99% of the posts here are anti-Kelly, that was a hell of a class act, and my guess is Kelly is the one who made that decision.

I will tell you the REAL hint that Finebaum is a HUGE HYPOCRITE! Every Monday he interviewed Brian Kelly for about 10 minutes and praised him...never said a bad word about him all season long. Kelly gets fired and all of a sudden Finebaum runs over him with a bus about 15 times and acted like he never won a college football game. Hey Finebaum, say to his face what you have been saying since he got fired. You are a hypocrite AND a coward! GUTLESS PUNKQ!
