The only time we saw Kelly was on the Paul Finebaum show or post game press conference.

Friend shared that when your child is delivered, the doctor hands you your child.

You never stop holding them.

it means that your recruiting and portal rankings don’t mean sh**. The biggest variable to success is the competence of your head coach and his staff.

The reason for their success is coaching. Cignetti and his staff is simply better than the other team’s.

Hope LSU cast a wide net. I feel great about the coaching staff and am confident they will find the right players to complete the roster.

His bio indicates a track background in Miami. However, his stat line has few rushing yards. Definitely throw first.

Someone is going to get a good one. 19:1 TD to INT ratio is not bad. Set NCAA record for consecutive completions. Will be a Junior in 2026.

Is it not clear to you that Kiffin is ridding LSU of retreads? No O, no Wilson, no Austin. Recruiting will be fine, if not better without them.

They do not have good coaches interested in the job. Michigan must clean house in the Athletic Department, starting with the AD.

Once that happens, then you will have a legitimate shot at a legitimate coach.

Powerball is crushing it. Mega Millions jumped the shark when they went to $5 tickets. The jackpot in between drawings do not jump at the same level as the $2 Powerball.

Take a look at the party distribution on the city council, county commission, and school board. If its majority blue, expect crime and tax rates to increase and school performance to fall off.

re: Indiana should be a lesson. Great coaching >Great talent.

100%. Been beating this drum for years. It’s even more important now as NIL and the transfer portal evens out the talent pool.

You have a respected head coach who can spot and recruit other great coaches to join their staff, it feeds upon itself.

LSU has relied too heavily on being the highest bidder vs. a destination where both players and coaches can develop and advance their careers.

I believe Kiffin will make LSU a destination again vs. simply a piggy bank and bridge to retirement.
