My second favorite game of all time that didn't involve my team. Only behind the Boise State OU Sugar Bowl.

Saban paying players wasn't unique, but the freedom players had under Saban (and early Kirby) was significantly different. Alabama is still paying players but they can't keep 5* after 5* on the bench anymore with shitty transfer rules.

And yes, unlimited transfers has its own set of problems. But in the mid 2010s, coaches could significantly limit a player's transfer options. Not only did they have to sit out, but a school could dictate what schools they could and could not transfer to and be on scholarship.

He is a TERRIBLE evaluator of talent! How many portal misses did we have this year! Austin Thomas has worked for sooooo many different schools and has missed at every single one!


He helped put together arguably the most talented team in Ole Miss history for 2024. Unfortunately Ole Miss stepped on their own dicks during the games for a myriad of reasons.

You cannot celebrate Lane's success at Ole Miss while criticizing people like Austin Thomas and Kelvin Bolden who helped him put it together. There's a reason LSU hired them away from Ole Miss. Blaming Austin and Kelvin for being unable to fix Brian Kelly's mess in 6 months is frankly a little silly.
quote:

Golding has been roundly criticized as a DC during his time in the SEC and now we're supposed to believe he was really the architect of their success.


Ole Miss had the #1 defense in the SEC last year

Ole Miss hasn't finished worse than 6th in total defense under Pete and that was year one. Everyone pretends the defense is a shite show this year but they finished 5th.
quote:


Don’t be dumb. LSU couldn’t have been more cooperative. Then Ole Miss threatened them with tampering.


Has anyone outside of Moscana said this?
Was all Big 12 both seasons at Baylor.
quote:

He did NAIL the Kiffin journey to LSU. Hit on everything he said along that merry journey


Except Pete following Lane.
quote:

Moscona is the fat kid who never got picked for kick ball in school. Now he has a microphone and thinks he's hot shite. He's a blow hard who just makes shite up. He's wrong more often than not.


It certainly sounds like the tampering charges were made up but I doubt he is the one that made them up.
We tried him at our nickel/SS role and at field corner. I think nickel and SS is where he settled and began performing well. He was much better against the run than the pass last year.
Lots of PT at Florida, seems like someone you can pencil in at our nickel/SS role
Great, talk about the topic in one of the other 1800 started by LSU fans on the topic.
How many times are LSU fans gonna make this thread
quote:

Ole Miss fans - how did Jadon Canady play for y’all? He’s the smallest defender by 20 pounds but has been nails all year at Oregon


He was our most picked on secondary guy last year, especially early in the year. He got better as the season went on to be fair to him.
Durkin was a good DC. Pete got the recruiting organized though.
Between Cohen and Leach, State probably had the worst combination of leadership for the beginning of the NIL era. Cohen thought it would be over quickly and Leach didn't believe he needed elite players to win. Being at the forefront is important because you get to see the results of your actions (or inactions for State) which motivates the money to keep coming in. Two conference wins in 3 seasons isn't motivating anyone and State is having to spend a fairly large percentage of their budget simply retaining players that have won 2 conference games in 3 years.

I like my DBs with a record.

May be getting his teammate it sounds like too
Lane was 23-13 pre Widespread Pete and 34-6 after Pete got to campus.
quote:

CPGs defense got worked and was bailed out


Only gave up 343 yards. Had a bad stretch in the 2nd against the run and a couple of bad minutes in the 4th. There was a 20 minute stretch where UGA only had like 80 yards of offense.
Dabo was heading to the unemployment line when he hired Chad the first time. Chad Morris saved his career.
