The portal window is for guys to go into the portal. It is not a window for them to transfer. Only to declare. We will be fine.

Street lights and extras walking across the screen are cast the wrong race? The extras??!

At this point you're just looking to be offended. Go outside.

Les Miles and Orgeron won titles at LSU. Les benefited immensely from what Saban left him but he went to the title game 7 years post Saban. His worst season in 11 years was 8 wins. Hell everyone knows about 2019 but O also hit 10 wins the year before. I dont think Les or O were also "sleeping giants"

So why hasn’t LSU been a contender since 2019, and if one thinks 2022 was a contender (10-4) why was Kelly fired?

It's the same reason Nick Saban looked at us in 1999 after the worst decade in our football history and decided to come here. He called us a sleeping giant. Was he wrong?

Lesser coaches have succeeded here. The word on Kelly was that he was mailing it in. No staff meetings, no recruiting visits, on the beach during bye weeks, players never spoke with him until he needed something from them. Its a good job but if the coach is lazy the results will be as well.

In O's lame duck season we went to Bama and nearly won that game. Had a ball in the end zone to win on the last play IIRC.

I don't think he's coming. That being said, if he came back here is why I would be thrilled:

1. Just 2 seasons ago he ran through the SEC 8-0, won the SECCG, and came up just short of playing for another national title when he lost in OT to eventual national champion Michigan. This isn't Mack Brown getting rehired. Or Bill Belichek who was looking for a job b/c he was in a clear decline and got fired.

2. The Bama melt would be worth it alone.

3. To see him stand at a podium again, in purple and gold would be closure. When his departure for Miami was finally announced, I believe it was either his post game from the Capital One Bowl or it was his coach's show at the hotel in Orlando prior to the game where he said he would always be a Tiger. It would be cool to see.

I dont think he's coming. Thats my logical take

But if I were to suspend disbelief and try and assign some reasoning to why he would come i would think its a pattern of regret with him. He left for the NFL and less than 2 years later rumors came out he wanted back in at LSU (and he pretty much confirmed those rumors in interviews after his retirement) but couldnt bc of the success Les was having. So he found Bama. Now he's retired and less than 2 years later he could be having those same regrets. And DeBoer is doing well.

All of this "love for LSU" and nostalgia and stuff for him would just be bonus. He regrets not coaching, and LSU just happens to be the best job available. Its too perfect to pass up.


...but again im not getting my hopes up.

Any remote chance we had with Saban went out the window when his boy Woodward was fired.

Edit: dont know how that got downvoted. SW & Saban are friends from the Emmert days. Well documented. My comment was not a smartass remark to criticize SW's firing. Ive been wanting SW out for a while.

I had actually heard earlier in the year from someone in the Athletic Department the Miles was living in a home bc he had gotten so bad.
