They needed to spend $50 million to put together a competitive team not a championship team.


Ask those contributors if they'd rather pay $50M for 8-4 or pay $20M for 7-5.

They aren't getting the return they expected, that's for sure.

Baker should be finished. He does not earn his paycheck.

You can get similar results for half the price.
Baker should not be the highest paid coordinator in the country.

He's a good coordinator, and sometimes great against mediocre competition. But he doesn't get stops when the games on the line. He's not elite.

It's the reality of the situation. He either needs to take a pay cut to stay next year or get packing.

1 yard to win it

An offensive guru should take this chance any day of the week.

I dont give a shite what analytics say. I'll take a yard to win the game at any spot on the field versus giving a team a whole offensive series to kick a field goal.

Kiffin was always this guy and then today he wasn't.

Maybe he thought Baker gave him something he never had and changed his mindset, but no excuses.

That said, Baker should NOT be the highest paid coordinator in the league. Get him out or take a pay cut.

Baker is good coordinator


The problem is he's paid as the best coordinator in the game and he is clearly NOT.

Either get rid of him or.he takes a massive pay cut

re: Fire Baker now.

How can anyone dow vote this?

He's the fricking highest paid coordinator in the country! You pay him exaxtly to win these games.

He's not worth his salary. It's blatantly obvious

Knew that was coming. I have diplomas from both. That's allowed I believe.

I like the angry wave icon, sue me.

Strangely agreeing with Bama and Ole Miss fans here.

The LSU fans on this site are getting way too sensitive. We used to be the fun, crazy uncles. Now everyone's a curmudgeon Karen.

Lighten up folks, it's a college football board.

But…are they not supposed to call them?


I get what you're saying, but a sport like football that is soooo subjective there needs to be some art to officiating.

You call the egregious penalties that actually affect the outcome of the play.

Some penalties are so ticky tacky it seems like the opposite is happening. The refs want to be involved more than they should be.
Man this was the spot 10+ years ago.

As others have said, when Neyow's started turning into a club of sorts you could see the crowd escalating around there. But there was always a pretty clear line between the 2 spots.

It was only a matter of time until they trickled over.

“If we can get a decent (TV) deal, we are definitely going to 24.”


They're just saying the quiet part out loud now.

Not that everyone doesn't already know it's all about the money, but at least try to have some semblance of pageantry about the game itself, Jesus.
No way Minneapolis is that low. The presidential election was like 90% Kamala in Hennepin County.
Whatever clutch gene he had got knocked out of him by Aaron Donald on the last play of the SB.

Similar situation. Making double or triple the amount of money doesn't get you double the amount of house.

I look at houses today that we could've bought at those interest rates and weep knowing what could've been :lol:

re: OM 2 point conversion

They went for it because they knew Lane would go for 2 if we scored after. They were thinking ahead and beating him to the punch


This

If we get the ball back down 7, you can potentially win the game on the last drive. That's psychologically advantageous.

Those 2 pts gutted us knowing the best we could do was tie.

Even if they don't get it their D can win the game with a stop. It was an aggressive but smart move.

It would help if we had a WR1 that he could toss it up to.

We don't have a typical LSU WR1 that can go up and win 50/50 balls so Leavitt needs to be very accurate and he hasn't been so far.
1. Leavitt accuracy issues

2. Lack of a WR1

3. Baker's scheme against good opponents

Those are the glaring issues that stood out to me last night.

I think #1 is fixable as Leavitt plays some more games but the other 2 aren't. Baker is who he is and he'll put out an elite D against lesser teams, but he isn't going to win us games against elite offenses.

We'll need to outscore people and #1 and #2 above don't lend to that.

This team is who we thought they were in pre-season, a fringe playoff team. The Clemson game baited everyone into thinking this was a Championship type team but I don't think they are.
