Imagine living life, seeing all kinds of wild shite happen, and still speaking in absolutes.
relax, it's just me stating my opinion.

You know, this being a fan message board and all.

People can repeat this over and over again but coaching is what this guy is made for so id be more shocked if he never coached again.
well he's 74 years old and saw what college football had become with NIL and the portal, and he wanted none of it.

That's why he retired.

And you think he's now going to jump back in???

Everyone keeps talking about not getting a big name, LSU got a big-name last time how did that work out? It's all a crap shoot. Some 30yo OC could end up being the next big thing, we just have to watch this thing play out. It'll be ok.
our next head coach won't be a big name, we're done with that.

It will a fairly successful lower Power 4 or G5 head coach, with upside. Give him a good, but not insane, contract with incentives.

BetOnline.ag has Saban as the favorite to take the LSU coaching job
zero percent chance Saban coaches again, anywhere.

who are we thinking now that we are radioactive?
don't be overly dramatic.

As nutty as things have been, LSU is still a top job and many coaches will be interested.

Not a fan but SW did not negotiate Jimbo's contract / extension at A&M. That was done by the previous AD. SW was just there at the end.
nope - Woodward was the AD who gave Jimbo the initial 10 year, $75 million ridiculous contract at A&M.
we're going to end up hiring a HC from a lower tier P4 school or a Group of 5 school.

Saban came from Michigan State to LSU, Urban Meyer from Utah to Florida, Kirby Smart, Ryan Day, even Dabo were first time head coaches.

We're done with landing a big fish for massive dollars.

I cancelled YTTV. B/t this and jacking the prices, I'm done. It should be no surprise that I can't get the $20 credit. It should be a refund. More reason they can get fricked.
it's actually more Disney's fault than YTTV. Disney is probably asking for ridiculous carriage fees and YT is saying no.

One day, when we go to true a la carte TV, carriage fees will go away.

You are not an LSU "fan" if you won't go watch a home game when they still have an opportunity to have a winning season. You are what's known as a band wagon fan. You are only a fan of winning not LSU.
ah yes, the "fan" definition.

Well, I grew up in BR and have been a huge Tiger fan my entire life. Also LSU alum who graduated in '87.

But you can label me whatever you want.
quote:

Same at A&M, he had nothing to do with Jimbo's extension.
you're playing word games.

Woodward gave Jimbo the initial huge 10-year, $75 million contract, which was absurd even at that time.

gave life to the baseball program
minor program overall, although admittedly more important at LSU

BK was one thr biggest coaching pulls ever. mcmahon also has a great resume.
many coaches have great resumes, but still aren't the right fit. It's the AD's job to figure that out before giving them long, huge contracts.
quote:

Theres not an AD out there that hasnt made a bad hire
true, but Woody failed at the two biggest ones. And also failed at A&M by giving him that massive initial contract.
what's so strange about that box score?

UGA probably had their 4th string players in the game in the late 3rd and all 4th quarter.

When you have a full ride to Harvard, you go to Harvard. If you can play football, the NFL will find you. Worst case scenario, you have a degree from Harvard.
1. Harvard doesn't give athletic scholarships. They do give need-based academic scholarships.

2. Even if he'd gone to Harvard, highly doubtful he'd have stayed. His history shows that he was chasing something other than an education:

LSU (2016)
East Mississippi (2017)
Missouri (2018)
Nicholls (2019–2021)
Incarnate Word (2022)

Our fans have such a negative view of life. Its a football game. If you can and want to, go support the team and brings your kids/ friends. If not, stay home and do something else
I don't have a negative view of life. I'm very happy.

It's ok to be very disappointed in LSU's season. At an elite football school like LSU, it's completely reasonable for fans to expect a playoff spot. And when that isn't going to happen, it's not unreasonable for fans to be far less interested in the rest of the year.

Watching a sporting event with nothing riding on it makes the emotional investment far, far less. And some fans may not want to invest their time and energy on a team that's beena drastic disappointed, where the head coach has been fired, and where many of the coaching staff and players will be gone next year.

So enjoy the game with your family. But don't complain when other fans decide to do something else with their Saturday afternoon.

I take it y'all have seen this before??? That has got to be the worst rule in this game
I thought everyone who watches college football knows this rule.

That's why when a running QB is close to the first down marker, they have to dive head first. Every QB should be aware of this.

The rule makes sense, since they want defenders to lay off a sliding QB and defenders therefore usually pull up when they see the QB initiate a slide.

I also appreciate the fact he came back this year. He could have left last year and he chose to come play one more year. The guy loves LSU
Nuss didn't decide to come back this year because he "loves LSU."

It was a business decision. He made millions in NIL this year, and there was no guarantee about his NFL draft position or contract.

So he came back to pocket the guaranteed cash. Very simple.

I'm sure there are plenty of threads on this, but we gave Alabama that game. Just handed it to them on a gold platter.
I agree we gave them a lot, but you do do the same analysis from the Bama perspective and find a bunch of plays that hurt them as well. We just don't remember those plays, because they helped us.

There's a handful of plays (on both sides) that make the difference in every close football game.

Because he’s a fantastic recruiter and that is the lifeblood of college football
recruiting has largely been replaced by NIL.
