Good news is LSU will probably have 2 next year in Schmidt and Evans. Moore's injury is definitely not helping this team right now. That's a pretty big injury people are forgetting. He was pretty stable as the day 2 guy and Schmidt at day 3 was kinda unfair.

Never seen anyone in local media with such an arrogant, "I told you so tone" when more often than not he's wrong about something. He'll be sure to also let you know when he's right which isn't very often. He's one of the worst local media personalities. I honestly don't know how people listen to him and take especially with how much he whores out to local sponsors. Everything about him seems scummy. Like, we get it you need sponsors but it just feels different when he does it.

I mean, is it surprising looking at the old staff at how incompetent they were? I also think it likely had to do he's not huge for a G though 305 is more than adequate.

I said this in another thread wake me up when it's like this in late fall. If it's like this 2 weeks before Clemson game the panic button is on.

Until then, no. Nobody should expect all this chemistry to come together fast when you return 3 players on offense. Kiffin even said in a press conference days before that scrimmage they're a defensive team right now. He saw it and knew it lol.

This is a big injury because we already lost a big contributor that was a likely starter. Aidan was apparently tearing it up and now he's done. That's one position we can't really sustain injuries with.

Weren't you praising Vitello last week and how set Tenn is for years due to him and LSU dragged their nuts all over that team? :lol:

I would say this team isn't that talented depth wise is the issue. In years past if we had struggles we can just cycle people out and someone would come in clutch or get hot. This team's large problem is they whiffed in the portal and so this just trickles on every other player. Everyone is pressing. Then you have pitching who are mentally in the ringer because they know their defense is terrible plus you have injuries like Moore which is a huge injury. This team is just bad at every facet of the game. It will get cleaned up next year and if we get lucky, maybe they make a second half run figuring things out.

I'd say Brown and Milam are almost for sure gone and Curiel likely as well but he at least still has leverage to stay. Curiel MIGHT come back but I doubt it. He will be only a junior so he can do another year if he wants it.

Also Hankton was a terrible coach and was probably our entire WR problem in BK's tenure outside Nabers/BTJ. Every year it was the same problem with the WRs.

What's most ironic in the media is nobody was ripping on the other coaches for leaving. One of which completely ravaged his old school's roster in the transfer portal. What did Kiffin do? Get a few guys from Ole Miss.

The only voice in national media that actually was the most levelheaded response on it was the most unlikely in Stephen A. He was 100% right.

Nobody is going to sit there and say LSU is not a major step up for almost any HC with the opportunity. Nor does anyone have a right to tell this man what's best for him and his family.

Ole Miss used the national media to try to trap Kiffin at that job when he obviously coveted LSU much more. Scorned ex-psychotic gf vibes with how they treated him especially fan base. He's going to make them an example and you don't want a genius offensive mind like Kiffin mad. It won't be for lack of gameplan if LSU loses that game.
