Adding another reply. I've loved all 3 of my kids since before they were born but this season at LSU Florida my 7 year old screams "single high safety, take a shot!". He got so many high fives and compliments. That shite was so worth it.

To answer some of the obvious questions:

1. Why did you look past this and give him a chance? The story sounded strange, obviously, but the work isn't hard and we needed to fill the role. I figured what's the harm in giving a shot, and I'll cut bait quick. It was absolutely dumb, no doubt. This was only a few weeks ago and the story has continued to grow in ridiculousness and I'm now into the cut bait phase.

2. How can you be this dumb and run a business? I ask myself that question everyday. We'll see how long it goes! Just made 5 years. Honestly these situations make it less and less worth it.

Morning OT. This post is half seeking advice and half venting/therapeutic.

I'm a small business owner who recently opened a 3rd location. Our first 2 locations staff's were filled out with majority friends and friends of friends. The 3rd location has been filled with majority random people via word of mouth.

The Gen Z crew I've hired fits every stereo type of the generation but I'm willing to look past it for the ones who try. Their issues are mostly minor and easy to shrug off.

The bigger issue and source of my posting has been one older gentleman in particular. This guy walked in off the street one day and had a story just like the rest, except his made little sense. He claims to be a doctor that's in med school to gain qualification to teach medicine and that the school is requiring him to get a public facing job to improve his soft skills. I made the mistake of ignoring this obvious red flag and decided to give him a chance.

As time passes his story and commitment to the bit has deepened to a point of extreme concern. He's texted tirades about losing children in the OR, about being late due to waiting for patients to wake up and more. He also claims to be a Marine and an NOPD vet. Based on amateur sleuth research I'm 99% certain he's not a doctor and I also question the veracity of anything else he's told me.

Yes the easy answer is to just fire the guy, but I'm concerned at how he will handle it. He's apparently mentally unwell and I'd like to mitigate the chances of any volatile reaction.

What would the OT do? Most amicable way to fire? I'm headed to the store to work with him this morning and will share more details as I can.

This is the next version of the same "what if" crap you types keep coming up with. You're here, asking once again that everyone ignore what they see and imagine a future that LSU is victorious in any competitive match up? We all told you this was coming since Florida. It's not like it took a football expert to see where this season was heading then and it's even more clear now. Unless there's a cam Newton Joe burrow type transfer coming over there's no success in LSUs near future. That's the obvious truth and everyone's welcome to grieve their own way.

Not saying I agree with OP, but it's as simple as this. When you haven't won, the crowds are better. LSU was better pre 2003. Saints was better 2005-2010.

Regression to the mean will certainly unfold as competition balances.

Looking into this, I found the Simple Rating System "SRS" on sports-reference: a rating that takes into account average point differential and strength of schedule. The rating is denominated in points above/below average, where zero is average.

ATM, Miami, LSU, Houston and Ole Miss are your top 5. Here's a LINK

I share in the concerns of LSU's offensive woes to date, but digging into the available data suggests stiff competition and greener pastures ahead. With the fact that no one can predict the future, I'll focus on these points to remain positive and steadfast in my support. Hoping for some fireworks on Saturday night.

For discussion. Apologies for format. Major take away, LSU should look to get to at least the top 50 of total offense and top 20 of scoring offense if championship is the goal.

You are.. Just curious, how much are you paid? $5, $10? BOGO cane's?

Unreal all the bootlicking in here. Never seen a coach given such a pass that Kelly is getting from all the posters in here. The offense has been objectively terrible. Cauble asked a straight forward question everyone wants to know. Thank God he didn't cower and doubled down on 3rd down specifically. Les Miles won a championship and his offense was constantly bashed on this forum. It was warranted because it was terrible too. Now everyone's hard legging for this clown? You've all gotten soft. Or are paid bots on Kelly's never ending staff.
