The daily/hourly "year 7" RG insider report was always just wishful thinking. We were all guilty of hearing what we wanted to hear.
I feel like relitigating the scene of the crime. So I shall.
The conventional wisdom was that LK was just visiting OM and would move on at some point. That was probably LK's intentions as well. Initially for that reason I was against the hire. But nobody asked me.
In any event, the LK cache coupled with a well managed NIL program and ultimately a little luck (Chambliss) produced progressively better than anticipated results. I must admit It settled in on me pretty quick and I felt better than I had about OM football since 2016 NFL draft . Everyone was calling 2025 a rebuilding year after the 2024 shite show (losing to Kentucky/Florida with that roster and the inexplicable RB issue). The success of the 2025 season just caught everyone off guard including LK and then the foreshadowed "opportunities" piled on.
Because of the success at OM you will never convince me that LK wasn't genuinely struggling with his decision to stay or that he hasn't always been a professional Douch Bag (but at the time my Douche Bag) both can be true.
Although it likely would not have change what ultimately happened, OM should not have given LK an ultimatum in early/mid November, especially since Pete was always the back-up plan and it was clear that LK wasn't announcing anything until "after the season". That's a moving target. With no ultimatum the pressure would have been on LSU/Florida to press the issue and neither were going to wait until "after the season" for LK to make a decision. It would have been interesting to see how that approach would have worked out.
I also believe it is less likely LK leaves if we would have beat either Kentucky or Florida in 2024 (thereby making the play-offs 2024) to go along with the pending play-off run last year.
If you analyze all the conference games LK won over his 6 years at OM most were nail biters coupled with some abracadabra. LK actually never did anything at OM to hang a banner over or paint the stadium with. If you take away two or three wins each year, then on average, LK was really no better on the field than HF (except HF beat Saban twice vs LK beat Georgia once). Five years from now hopefully winning those games is not something we talk about anymore.
Undeniably everybody wanted LK anyway and for good or bad that is really all that matters in modern college football where money talks. Pete definitely seems loyal to me. For that reason alone I am onboard. Maybe Pete will be HF 2.0 without the burner phone or LK 2.0 without the Douche Bag. I will gladly take either.

Florida fired up the engines two seconds after they shot their coach out of a cannon in the middle of the season and their fans became absolute intolerable, filled to the brim, used diapers. So not only did we have to listen to their endless river of bullshite all of October but THEN the new level of used diaper appeared after TAMU obliterated LSU and we got it from both barrels for 60 straight days. Only the SEC, shits where it eats. You don't see any other conference poaching head coaches from inside.
I don't even want to get started on the cowards on social media.

My favorite part of that whole shite show was getting so many people on the coaching changes board buying into my “Kliff notes” and rumors about Kliff to the Gators.

LK goes for some dumb 4th downs against UGA in the Sugar and loses.
He announces he’s going to LSU the next day. Players and coaches with no time to process things follow him to LSU.

That's funny but definitely one scenario - except I just don't think the delusional Bayou Buttwipes would have had the patience to wait that out. Based on the last 25 years or so they a have become a very narcissistic group. I hope soon we can join them.

Here's your chance to make a name for yourself in the SEC Rant. Sounds like LSU is already broke. Just fired a bunch of employees to free up $3.4 million.

And then today it's leaked that LSU has informed their top donors that the athletic budget is completely unsustainable.

LSU consolidating a CFO position and cutting the DEI department literally has nothing to do with LSU athletics. Glenn is the biggest hack in the game
People seem to really be losing their minds over a meeting and the word “unsustainable”, a word uttered by every athletic director with a room temp iq. LSU is about to drop five each on Royal and Jalen Brewster, I think we’re fine. But obviously something has to give sooner or later with this current model.

cutting the DEI

I wonder who the rat is around LSU that keeps feeding Ross Dellenger information. It’s ridiculous he got ahold of Brendan Sorbsy’s contract from LSU and now was given an invitation for select donors.
Still haven’t seen any leaks as to what the proposition is but the inside sauces are excited about the future.
And yes, big move on the DEI end. LSU is making a big push in research funding, which is where the cuts are going. No idea what Glenn is referencing the cuts being related to the AD.
