I don’t think things are going to plan with the Lane hire

I’m still excited about the hire, but we are losing a lot of players. (26)
No qb on the roster
Our qb target went to Texas tech
Most of our Oline, WRs and RBs are in the portal.
We only have one portal commit thus far. A WR from Hawaii
Ole miss is still in the playoffs and we can’t steal their players

Should the panic button be pushed?

So “he will ditch a playoff team before the playoffs” isn’t a winning sales pitch?

I’ve enjoyed it so far but there’s a lot of time left

We should stop playing nice with Ole Miss and bring our coaches home.


But yea - absolutely time to panic. Here’s another upvote you were fishing for.

You pushed it when you hired him.

He’ll be fine if he stays a few years. Year one might be ok, but I expect it to be a little rough.

I fully expect year 1 to be a little rougher than many anticipate and we'll get trolled for it a ton. I also think that we'll be more than fine in a year or two.

Didn't realize Kentucky had hired Lane?

Kentucky is thanking you for 2 of your players that hit the portal.

It’s going much smoother in Lexington with Stein at the moment than Lane in Red Sticking if Stein pulls Leavitt, watch out.

Why would you want to return a mediocre team, we had some fat contracts for average players. Cutting the fat before before reshaping the product. Those players with the 3rd highest NIL from last year got a coach fired mid season. We need to keep our actual producing players which we have and the rest will fall in place.

It was a hire for the next 6 years, not 6 months. I do think yall got a little too confident in Lane’s ability to recruit our roster though.

It’s almost like there was more going on than just Lane, huh.

Kiff is a great gameday coach — no argument there. But steering the whole ship? That clearly took more help than people wanted to admit.

I’ll own it: I buried my head in the sand when Lebby was crowing about it. Figured it was just sour grapes. Turns out there may have been a little truth mixed in.

Pete’s a trooper, but there’s been a lot of smoke the last couple of years that he was the one actually keeping the car between the lines from a structure and portal eval standpoint.

Now the one guy who might be able to do that is splitting time in Oxford and could bolt to the NFL at any moment.

And most importantly why doesn’t Lane wear LSU shirts 24/7? ??

A few little things are going wrong for Lane at the moment.
Will he correct them and be successful ? Yes, most expubidently.


Will things go right for Lane ? I'm hoping for this :

Why panic? LSU will not do anything other than field a team next year. Will it be a good team? Maybe. Maybe not. I will still watch them and I will still pull for them. No panic.
