Pardon me.

What is the proper etiquette here?

Is it not the OffTopic forum section?

Why would there need to be a ban?

When I signed on, i must have missed the training video during the mandatory on boarding session.

It might be like cilantro.

To some people it tastes wonderful. To others it tastes like soap.

I want to like her voice, I try to like her voice, but every Sunday night listening to her just gives me the aluminum foil on tooth fillings reaction.

Think about it in terms of potential.

1. Saban. Some potiental seen at MSU, but not a sexy hire at the time.

2. Miles. Some potential at OSU, and a solid coaching perigee, but “could he be like Saban?” when he came to LSU. Not a sexy hire at the time.

3. Orgeron, great recruiter and some coaching potential show along the way, but “could he be like Saban and Miles?” when he came to LSU. Not a sexy hire at the time.

4. Kelly. At the time of hire, BK was the best POTENTIAL coaching hire in history. Most everyone thought his Achilles heel was being at Notre Dame. It was a sexy hire that most thought would lead to a national championship in just a few short years. Even still, “can he be like Saban, Miles, and Orgeron…” when he came in.

Now.

Kitten has to be the sexiest hire of all time for LSU. Most POTENTIAL of any incoming coach ever. Best coaching perigee. Biggest initial splash to recruiting. Proven coaching experience especially in the most recent years.

Has to be the biggest football coaching hire for LSU in history right?

I can’t think of anyone else off hand.

1. What would a coach like Nifty Kiffy want more?

2. Which one would be the most realistic to get? I’m assuming the Natty for a guy like Kiffy.

3. If Natty, what would be the most realistic college to get it at, LSU, Old Miss, or Florida? I’m assuming LSU since three different coaches over a span of 16 years. Tells me the talent is superior in Louisiana.

Lane is going to get paid and paid well anywhere he goes. If one school or NFL team can pay a million or two more or less, a guy like Kiffy might not care. He’s going to make way more than the contract when you consider endorsements and such.

So it has to be more about the championship (CFB or NFL) than the money right?

Thanks guys.

Lots of great info here.

I’m going to check out MB this week.

I do like the idea of making my own, but going to do a bit of deep diving research on this subject.

Happy thanksgiving.

Good point.

I do think I need just a smoked pork sausage rather than andouille.

Is there any merit the “coaching tree” aspect to finding a great next HC?

Great point.

I understand what y’all are saying and your hesitations. But hear me out.

Analytics are changing the landscape of business, investing, heck how do you think the sports booking agencies and casinos will always eventually win more than they will ever give away in earnings.

What if some smart guys and gals at LSU just looked at the winning years these past 26 years. Saban, The Hat, and O.

Then with tons of data points measured, see if there are actually statistical factors that can give tangible evidence to those “intangibilities” we all assume great coaches have.

Then they can go back and look at championship team from the past 26 or more years and see if there are any trends in head coaching qualities.

Im telling you analytics can tell you a lot. But I agree it can be 100% and make picking a coach a sure thing.

I was at tech the year the bulldogs came back from about 30 down to beat the cowboys in Shreveport. Not a bowl game but where tech would play to attract a big school home and home. Of course that was in 2000 I believe and would be a few years before the Hat arrived in BR.

But that was one of the Hat’s teams I believe.

Was OSU an improved team enough to make the Hat a viable coach candidate for LSU at the time?
