I don’t know if this is true but I read a couple of times in articles about the Kiffin staff we were getting that Weis was decent at recruiting but didn’t love doing it.

Saban was told during his second or third year at LSU that he needed to hire Frank Wilson because he was needed to lock down New Orleans.
Saban brought him in for an interview, was disappointed with his coaching knowledge, and decided to hire someone else.
I remember some angst on LSU boards but Saban told us at the Gridiron Club “I could hire him to recruit but I would have to teach him to coach”.
Orgeron then hired Frank when he got the Ole Miss job. Frank did hurt us a bit recruiting against Les Miles.
Wilson was never a good coach though.

Perfect response!
Frisco is in effect a suburb of Dallas, a very affluent suburb. Not what I would compare to a “metro city”

That’s embarrassing, and posted after two whole days of the portal being open.
While I don’t think LSU has hit 40 million, more like 30 million, I believe Texas Tech supposedly spent 40 million last year.
Oregon and Texas were supposedly about that also, then one heard Ohio State and Miami.
Then a good number of top spenders like LSU were around 18-20 million last year.
But LSU itself outside of boosters will spend 15 million this year on football players from its revenue share(20 million all sports) under the new rules.
So if boosters supplied 20 million again this year, that alone would allow LSU to spend a total of 35 million, which I predict LSU will not total.
Point being with revenue share, combined it’s no more than what was spent last year when LSU was nowhere near Texas Tech, Oregon, etc.

I’m about to drift off to sleep laughing at Bama fans. They are sick to their stomach and are tonight thinking about the status of their program and negative 3 yards rushing today.

Why was your stadium half empty tonight? Pathetic and embarrassing my man.

How about making Frank the special teams coach, but have a well paid analyst with experience there help do a lot of the coaching, and also director of recruiting but under the leadership of Glasscock.
Many schools give a great recruiter who is not a great field coach an “easy” position such as running backs or tight ends. Well in this case just make it special teams.

Is it true that with the schools now paying 20 million or so max, that collectives can still pay unlimited NIL amounts to a kid in high school in order to get their commitment?
I am an RN, not rich, and would pay $1000 towards this. Anyone who takes a vacation during bye week has no morals.
I knew LSU fans though would respond negatively to this suggestion as I see how few give to NIL.
It is what it is.

re: Billy Embody said that Brian Kelly has a lot of relationships to repair with boosters

Derek has been gone after Orgeron “resigned”. He supposedly went into the NIL agent business.
Let Todd Harris be totally healed plus getting good coaching and he might should the top 5 safety out of high school talent rating was justified.

That’s funny, I seemed to have been worrying about Walker Howard liking Notre Dame and Coach Kelly all season.
Amazing that a legacy kid who loved LSU all his life was seriously considering playing QB for Coach Kelly and his offense when Kelly doesn’t “hands on” recruit. ??

It seems like time is slowing down to infinity…refresh, refresh….rotate between boards….

Several great ones here and on other boards. Some on the pay boards don’t even want their screen name quoted.
BelowPar an all time great.
Gruss is one of the best.

Also could be Tucker or Saban, technically.
Because I waste my money by belonging to all LSU pay boards(which all leaks out here minutes later), plus I read this site daily, I have seen Vol run here countless times and repeat what an insider on those other boards says.
He makes very few changes, sometimes says it cryptically, but I never see new independent scoop.
I do not believe he has any sources anywhere. If he does, they do not ever tell him much.
Others have noticed the same thing which is why amongst all “insiders” he takes so much flack.
It’s hilarious to watch people on here ask for Vol to please come and confirm or bring the scoop.

re: What are the premium message boards saying?

I belong to all of them. Some insiders say Jimbo, some say Riley.
None of the really reliable in the past insiders claim to know for sure.

I belong to 3 LSU pay boards.
I have also been here for many years and was reading it daily long before I signed up so I could post a reply rarely.
This site is one of the largest and famous and well run free college sports boards in the country. It is also well known that even if you are an LSU fan you will get your head torn off here for any mistake you make or if anyone just disagrees.
Yes everyone who visits Tiger Stadium is surprised by the hospitality of the fans and especially by the enormous number of fans who are tailgating.
Don’t however be surprised by being viciously attacked here.
Aggie boards are vicious also and I’ve read every insult one can imagine towards LSU, Texas and few other favorites you guys have.
Several LSU insiders with great track records on the pay boards I belong to believe it will be Jimbo. Most of the responses to them have been to express disappointment in that.
I will take the $500 bet if you give the same odds I can get in Vegas.
