The controversy wasn’t around who he retained, it was the fact that he didn’t bring anyone from his Michigan State staff mainly because his old staff decided to remain intact and continue under Bobby Williams.

re: Torn Meniscus Question

Personally, I highly recommend surgery. I started having knee issues in my 20’s, but didn’t know it was my meniscus until I finally saw an orthopedic in my mid-30’s after it got to the point the pain and limitations became problematic.

Had about 15% of my meniscus removed, took rehab seriously, and felt so much better afterwards. Long distance running and jogging for exercise were the only thing I eliminated afterwards. I regret not getting it addressed sooner.

You have to include the various entourages walking through team facilities everyday, plus the fringe players that are barely on a roster.

The stars don’t have to be directly involved. The others around the organization can easily gain insider information (undisclosed injuries, load management, game plans, etc.)

Ronnie Lott & Kenny Easley.
The West Coast was loaded with head-hunting, hard hitting safeties in the 80’s.
HOFer and a key figure in the player’s union of the 80’s, and helped lay the groundwork that eventually led to free agency.

How the mighty CBS 2:30 (Central) time slot has fallen to an afterthought. This game should be on an alternate BTN channel.

This isn’t about the future.

This is about his journey from a Louisiana kid playing high school football, to entering the coaching profession, all the way to leading the LSU Tigers as head coach to a victory in Tiger Stadium.

Pay attention to the player on the left. Notice how #27 is next to the wall, but still steps out of the way.
The cop thanks him be throwing his left elbow at him.

Then he turns around and goes after #8.
The LHSAA website currently has a headline highlighting “Violation Free Schools 2024-25”

Hamilton Christian is one of the schools listed in the link.

The administration might have covered up sexual assault, lied, and committed other illegal offenses, but at least they turned in all their paperwork on time.
Jim Mora Jr. deserves a lot of credit also. UConn was a dead program when he took over.

Barbe/Northwood?

Last I saw Barbe was up multiple scores in the 3rd Quarter.

Didn't last but he lit a spark.

The crazy thing is how fast it fell apart.

He had won nearly 75% of his games in his first 3+ seasons after he took over a rock bottom LSU program.

Just 13 months prior in October 1998, LSU was undefeated and ranked #6, then preceded to lose 15 of the next 18 games.

We all know local politics is a mess, but it would help if the professional politicians from the state level could actually string together a couple of coherent sentences.

At least they still have that Mel Tucker outlier 2021 season.

I don’t think he’s interested in looking for another job right away.

I agree, and I think this is where LSU messed up at the beginning of negotiations. Kelly probably had every intention of coaching again while he was in that emotional whirlwind of the first few days.

Future Millions from another school

LSU’s 30 million now
=
He’d come out ahead in the long run.

He’d get a huge chunk of money now, and he would still have a yearly revenue stream in the millions for years to come.

Now he either doesn’t want to coach anymore, or his agent has tested the market, and told him his highest paying opportunities are behind him. Probably a little of both. He’d except a job and paycheck for $5M+ at a quality P4 school with some built-in advantages, but he has no interest in coaching anywhere else, much less building a program.

Now any offsets from future jobs don’t factor into his future, he wants a bigger chunk from LSU.
