Nuss treated his position as a business. It was strictly 9-5. There was no summer of 1000 passes, or whatever sunmer 2019 was called. He didn’t put in the extra work or the extra time, so he made himself susceptible to injury. In the process, he hurt his draft position. Granted, the O-line didn’t help. But he didn’t help himself.

Most exciting football hire in LSU history. Nick Saban’s hiring didn’t move the needle with a lot of people.

re: Why does ESPN hate LSU so much?

Posted by EscambiaTiger on 12/11/25 at 5:40 pm to ATLTiger24

LSU was the sixth most-watched college football team in 2025, so you would think ESPN would like LSU because it draws viewers (and online clicks). FYI, for all of the complaining other teams do about the amount of night games that LSU gets, here’s one reason why:

1. Alabama, 8.49 million
2. Texas, 7.55 million
3. Georgia, 7.48 million
4. Ohio State, 6.57 million
5. Oklahoma, 6.47 million
6. LSU, 6.42 million
7. Tennessee, 6.21 million
8. Auburn, 5.25 million
9. Michigan, 5.08 million
10. Texas A&M, 4.99 million

Not if the odds are to be considered: Fisch, DeBoer, Minter, Diaz, in no particular order. Besides, Kiffin has already teased Portnoy to come down to the bayou.

Pretty sure it happened to LSU softball, ironically, she left for Alabama IIRC.

On June 9, 2011, Patrick Murphy announced that he was leaving Alabama to take the head coaching position at rival LSU. Three days later, before signing a contract at LSU, he changed his mind and returned to Alabama— saying Alabama is "where his heart was."

I suppose he could if he wanted. But Ole Miss announced earlier this week it had hired John David Baker from East Carolina as OC.

ND would be a nice geographical fit for the Mid-American Conference, playing Ball State, which is 150 miles away, and the directional Michigan schools. Plus, there's that mid- and late-season midweek MACtion package on ESPN. :lol:

He could try to spike the punch bowl on us in NOLA but we are still the big dog in the area and one man can’t keep LSU from getting LA recruits.

If LSU wins under Kiffin as much as we think LSU will, NOLA players would have a hard time NOT considering LSU. Winning consistently and looking good doing it will go a long way with recruits.

re: Proposed CFP solution

Posted by EscambiaTiger on 12/8/25 at 2:46 pm to RizerJ

Does anyone think that no matter the number of teams, the next four are going to complain about being left out? If it's a 12-team playoff, then 13-16 complain. If it's a 16-team playoff, then 17-20 complain.

Would it be fair to have a play-in game/games involving the bottom 2 or 4 teams, similar to the NCAA Basketball Tournament? Granted, that's an extra game for those teams. You could have your G5s play (Tulane vs James Madison) for the 12th seed and your last 2 P4s play or your last P4 vs an at-large champion (similar to Duke this season).

I don't know that anything is perfect. I just know I'm underwhelmed by two rematches, and the Oregon-James Madison game could be extremely lopsided.

As I remember, the year LSU passed on a bowl was the COVID year. That is NOT the same as having a depleted roster.

LSU was 3-5 when it self-imposed a bowl ban as part of the ongoing NCAA investigation into improper booster payments and other violations, including cash given by Odell Beckham Jr. to players after the 2019 national championship game. And then LSU won its last 2 games to finish 5-5 and would’ve been eligible to go to a bowl.

He's not going to torch LSU on the way out, but I would love to hear his take on BK's coaching philosophy this season and why BB had to ask for a more realistic look in practices and applicable "game-like simulations" during practice.
