how would you feel with a 7-5 finish?
My guess is 2027 NIL donations would not be near the level of 2026. . .
Would be hard to get the booster class fired up about that level of performance versus the spend made in 2026.

re: Lane leaving OM and the facts being distorted by the national media & narrative followed..
Posted by BEATIGER on 9/18/26 at 9:56 am to ChatGPT of LA
OM gave LK a deadline. That deadline was there because of the uncertainty surrounding his status for 2026 and recruiting.
Decision to not let Lane coach by OM AD had to do more with fear of how it would affect their program going forward - LK poaching more OM players, and what would he be telling recruits/targets for both OM & LSU football if he had declared - as he did - that he was leaving.
While technically you are correct that OM didn't let LK coach through the playoffs, you seem to miss the reason for the decision and the facts around why an AD would choose a certain path of action.
My point was in highlighting the timing - and why the NCAA is to blame for it - which created the LK did OM wrong narrative by having him leave when he did - whether forced or not.

That is a pretty skewed take.
The fault lies with the NCAA and when they set the date for transfer portal/recruiting to be before the college football season is over. (some problems there due to spring semester already in session before final CFP game(s)).
Therefore, if a coach with a CFP-bound team is leaving for another school, they need to jump before the final game(s) are played to be able to effectively recruit/secure players at new school. If that were not a time/date conflict, then Lane would have coached OM through the end of season and then gone to LSU.
OM would still be pissed, but all of the negative BS pointed at Lane doing OM dirty would not be there.
NCAA fecklessness strikes again.

That's what I was thinking, but watching it, looked like he landed on his left shoulder. Sam's right handed.
he was favoring one of his legs during la tech game. Didn't look serious, but could be some kind of bruise that is more painful than serious.
Hope he plays and our defense is full strength.

The Louisville QB missed on 2 easy, wide-azzed open touchdowns in the first half of that game.
Louisville should have won it going away.
Louisville should have won it going away.
We just need to play our game, with high intensity, and leave the butthurt emotional stuff to OM.
OM should definitely be 1-1, not 2-0.
If you watched the Louisville game, the UL QB missed two wide open receivers for TD's in the first half. When I say wide open, you need to see it to believe it. He makes those 2 throws, UL wins going away in that game.
I think the Tigers have the horsepower to win it in clear fashion.

You must have been asleep the past 5 years. . .
There is no more amateur in college football. . .
It is a professional sports enterprise. Players are being paid to play. It lost it's amateur status long before this situation came up.
Call College Football What it really is. . . a farm system for the NFL. MLB has pros who sign contracts and play in the minors. That seems to be pretty much where things are headed in football.
If people want to get steamed about it, blame who's at fault - the NCAA. Those brainless underachievers have been laughingly trying to play catch up to this for years, and still can't.
Loved the rant by TBob, BTW.

Bobby Knight coaching > Dale Brown coaching. . . .
HMMM.
Didn't seem to keep him from recruiting up a team comprised predominantly with black athletes that made the CFP top 12 . . .
And doesn't seem to keep southern teams in the SEC from recruiting kids to win more nattys than any other cfb division in the modern era . . .
Seems like some clickbait. . .
Lane being Lane.

He appears to be somewhat tentative in hitting the right gap, and his vision isn't the best. Berry seems to see the holes and running lanes a bit better.
In Caden's defense, I would hate to have to been a back trying to run behind that garbage of an oline we had last season. But in the rare times he had a bit of an opening, he could scoot and make some yardage. Glad he's back and hope he has a great 2026 for The Tigers!!

Imagine the looks on the coaches’ faces if that dipshit walked in and said “If you want Sam you have to sign my other clients, Jimmy, Timmy and Willy”.
If he rolls into Miami with that, he's likely to get punched in the nose by Cristobal. . . Dude seems like he don't play.

Half of LSU's coaching staff is coaching for Ole Miss right now.

Net upgrade.
Love FW for recruiting - coaching not so much. Good luck.
With NIL and unlimited transfer portal, schools now don't have a collegiate team. They have a pro team, with pro players and pro coaches. It is totally a business now with no holds barred.
The NCAA is to blame for not getting out in front of this at the get go. They can't limit NIL, but they sure can limit transferability and hold it to a maximum of 2 - one if their coach who recruited them leaves, and one for any reason. This will help to slow down the wild west that it is now.
Hate this for Ole Miss - if Lane does come to LSU - but it is totally a business right now and business decisions can be harsh. On the flip side, they are free to fire coaches at any time, so the opposite must be available as well.
They also need to work with the dates for signing dates and portal windows to coincide with the playoffs as OP said.
The state of college football now is totally changed.

re: With Landry’s comments on placing restrictions on how the new coach will get paid
Posted by BEATIGER on 10/30/25 at 8:07 am to EvrybodysAllAmerican
LSU only pays a nominal amount of a head football coach's pay. The vast majority of it comes from TAF and donors.
C'mon. Landry's noise has all kinds of diapers in a wad.

We fired Dinardo - got Saban - NATTY!
We fired Miles - got O - NATTY!
We fired O - got BK - back to Step 1.
We fired BK - dunno but seems like LSU is batting .667 on this program.

Sloan had the same play-calling weaknesses last season. Everyone hoped he would come along in his second year. Clemson looked good, Tech not so much.
He's a good QB coach and recruiter, but leaves a lot to be desired in the way of a play-caller, especially in 3rd down and red zone.
Unfortunately, he's what we have, unless someone else - BK or another assistant - steps in for some of it.

I don't know if you're bashing or not - only you know your motivation.
Trying to be even minded:
In your stat line, Nuss's INT numbers don't vary from the two qb's you referenced - over a full season of work.
Nuss can put the ball into much tighter windows and make more throws than any of the Qb's I saw perform for Texas, OSU, ND and PS.
The hang on Nuss not running has been a major frustration. Especially since Nuss CAN run. However, when we saw his backup come in when he got dinged .. . . I can understand his coaches telling him not to run under any circumstances. It is what it is, but our #2 QB was atrocious.
I don't bear any axe to grind, but think we have a pretty damn good resource at QB who needs to polish up some things. I'm hopeful that the same team of coaches who cleaned up JD5's weaknesses is able to advance Nuss. Not expecting Heisman winner but if he doe get that, then we should be pretty happy as Tiger fans.

Ewers - threw a pick last night from a very clean pocket that looked like he had money on the buckeyes.
Howard's pick was severely underthrown and he didn't have anyone on top of him.
What's your point other than to try and bash Nuss?

The playmakers can only consistently make plays when the play isn't disrupted at the LOS.
A good Oline can make medium ability QB's and RB's unstoppable.
Good Dline can disrupt the offensive gameplan and allow their offense multiple shots by having the opponents go 3 and out.
All 4 teams in the finals have good to very good interior lines on both sides of the ball.
Not really a fan for any of them, but glad that the last two games were fun to watch, kept your interest until the end and weren't blowouts. Good football.

Do you have the latest stat for guys who entered the portal and then didn't find a landing spot.
From recollection, about 3-4 years ago, it was pretty dismal, with about 800 players entering the portal, and only about 250 getting a spot on a new school's team.
