He was at Tennessee and USC as a head coach. Or is that just another inconvenient truth? And see if you can keep up here for 5 minutes. LSU is not, nor will it ever be, the same job in talent accumulation that Les Miles had as head coach. So all future HCs, everywhere, will have to figure out how to build depth and not go broke. And at the rate of escalating salaries, with the crazy greed and selfishness at these bidding auctions going on, it won't be long before we bankrupt the sport. That's what I mean.


He had Tennessee on the rise. Don’t forget he was a blocked FG away from beating Saban in Tuscaloosa and preventing that first title.

USC was riddled with sanctions and he still has a very successful year.

He’s now sober and has 10+ more years of experience

Either of you can set it up on Novig and set the terms for the wager. Legal in 42 states, Bama and Tenn included

It is peer to peer, no sportsbook involved, and CFTC regulated.

Again, most Cajuns had Brian Kelly's success at LSU pegged for the same reason. He not only didn't replicate his ND success; he got fired. I remember a lot of USC's games, and they were terrible. Nothing like the scheme and product at Ole Miss. Instead, he famously got fired on the Tarmac.

This is the real elephant in the room: NIL changes everything for every school in the country. The fit and talent have to be harvested in a completely different manner and then sustained. I frankly haven't seen anyone master such a balance. I would say the Indy coach has been the closest. But that's one coach and one school for only 2 NIL years. Kiffin spent a crazy amount of money on NIL at Ole Miss; why would that be the blueprint at LSU? Yet there it is.

Because LSU has every advantage over Ole Miss. Use some logic

Logic says Brian Kelly did as well.
