This QB draft class is very weak outside of Mendoza.

I have been very critical of Nuss especially how he has performed in big games, but he is easily the third best QB by a mile when the other options are Drew Allar, Taylen Green, Carson Beck, etc.



There was one small sentence in the release announcing Wade that just said he replaced McMahon, but that's all I've seen.

Maybe not for Kiffin, even though I think LSU handled that entire situation masterfully. You didn't hear a peep from our side and anything that was getting out was coming from Ole Miss's side.

There wasn't some huge lead up from the media about it for this coaching search. Mostly just speculation on sites like this and podcasts, but pretty air tight for the most part.

Really didn't hear about how we actually courting him from the media until Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.

A big part of that is we never actually fired McMahon until we had Wade in the bag. Then we pulled the trigger.

"Messy" and "Clumsy" hire

Posted by Sheriff Brackett on 3/27/26 at 8:20 am
Seeing a lot of objective journalism out there from the mainstream media about how this hire was "messy" from CNN and "clumsy" by that idiot Pete Thamel from ESPN.

When in reality, this is exactly how you want the search to happen. Under the radar, and quietly getting your ducks in a row, and making sure it crosses the finish line. Just like we did with Kiffin.

Then they talk about how much dead money we have on the books from football and basketball buyouts, when no one should give two shites about it when:

1. The fans aren't paying the buyouts
2. You see who we brought in and look at the current state of both programs now compared to what they were.

A lot to be excited about in LSU athletics in the future.
They made me laugh during a dark period of LSU basketball.
The rebuild ain't going to be with the current regime that's demanding it I can promise you that.
Are they really in a position of power to negotiate when their first condition is "Please stop bombing us and taking out all of our leadership"?

Also, they can especially frick right off on 3, 4 and 5.
I'm not hating on anything. Don't know why you're acting like a dick.

Football is 1 and Baseball is 2 and Basketball is 3 in the pecking order at this current juncture. That doesn't mean that we can't be good in all three.

I don't think anyone on this board or in the administration thought at the start of the 25-26 academic calendar, that we would fire our head football coach.

Given the amount of money we are spending to buyout Kelly and his staff, while bringing in Kiffin, his staff and allocating NIL funds his way, I don't know if there is an appetite to buy out McMahon, but that is strictly speculation.

If we didn't fire Kelly, I think we would have already pulled the trigger on firing McMahon.

It's not my money, but I hope they get rid of McMahon because I would like to be good in all three sports.

All I am saying is that baseball has a much more storied and passionate following here. And if baseball had gotten to a point where the basketball program is now, they would have already gotten rid of the coach regardless of the buyout.
Popularity doesn’t pay, but it’s a factor when the money people are making decisions.

If fans were as passionate for MBB as they are for baseball and had the same following, they would not hesitate to get rid of McMahon regardless of the cost.

I like Wade, but you would also hear other names being floated around if that was the case.

Being the third sport out of the big three, they are going to get short end of the stick.

Yeah, I don't know enough about it to have an informed opinion. Based on what local media is saying, it is a factor, but I don't know if that's even true or how much they actually know.


I would imagine they either aren't able to get Wade for whatever reason or the boosters don't want to pony up the money to buy McMahon and his staff out, but that's pure speculation.

Seems like they have also given a blank check to Kiffin to do as he pleases with NIL, hiring as many assistants as he wants, etc., which I am totally fine with. Money just may be tight for a sport that seems to be third in terms of popularity here. But that is also just speculation.

I do believe that McMahon would already have been shown the door if BK was still the head coach.
How does Iran have any capability to dictate terms regarding Hormuz? Especially since we destroyed their naval capacity.
The only thing worse are people who complain about people who complain on a site that’s sole purpose is to bitch and rant.

Probably should find another site if you don’t like it.
This is a site where people come to bitch, so you must be in the wrong place if you're looking for different material.

Nice change of pace to have something different to talk about as opposed to people bashing MBB and baseball from their 2-game stretch.
All of his comebacks that he thinks are funny or witty are just so soft and they land like someone letting the air out of a whoopie cushion.

His stupid retort didn't even make sense since he alleges he wasn't playing as much golf because he got hurt a few weeks before he was fired.

It was embarrassing, but we had to defend him because he was our coach.

Glad we have someone who is engaging, has a personality and knows how to push other people's buttons instead of the other way around.
Rogan had him on his podcast and then was praising him with another guest saying he was "impressive"

Talarico is no different than the rest of his party. He wants open borders and thinks all white people are inherently racist.
quote:

I was shocked at how polarizing that interview was and it made me realize I live in a different reality than some people


It's because he is a know-it-all a-hole and when he was pushed on certain topics, he pivoted to "Well you're just a comedian and not an expert, so you shouldn't really be able to have an opinion on the matter"

I wouldn't say that you "dismantled" someone in a debate when that is your comeback when confronted on certain issues.
That's fine if you don't like his opinions. I certainly don't agree with everything he says, but he knows a lot of the subject matter and the history of how a lot of conflicts came to be, which I find interesting.

I thought he held his own against Douglas Murray on Rogan and with Josh Hammer. Both of those guys came across as pompous douchebags.

Konstantin Kisin really pushed the envelope with him and debated him well I thought.

I like Dave and I think he's a very intelligent person. He's a very good debater and knows his stuff inside and out. He has a chip on his shoulder because I think he gets looked down a lot by a lot of people in this field because he is a comedian.

That being said, my biggest gripe with him and these Mearsheimer types are that nothing is ever Iran's, China's, Russia's, etc.'s fault.

The US is always the instigator in every conflict and they act like these countries are just sitting back, minding their own business while the US is bullying everyone.

I'm not a fan of every foreign policy decision we've ever made, but to act like we are the only ones ever in the wrong is laughable.
I don't think it will get to that point, considering we've taken out the majority of their leadership. Russia couldn't even do that with Zelensky.

I don't know how much of an appetite the IRGC, officials, generals and others have to continue this, especially if they are given the option to make a deal and leave peacefully and if their own people start to take matters into their own hands.

Hopefully, the regime completely collapses sooner rather than later but we shall see.
