re: Effeminate male Lane Kiffin tells LSU fans to pump the brakes for next year

I think this is what "specific qualifications" meant.

They'll spend months jizzing all over themselves, claim impossible riches are waiting right around the corner, then deny anything specific was ever said and only offer to temper expectations (or just entirely disappear).

diddlydawg also does this about Georgia sports, then pretends to be baffled about it when you inevitably call him out.

Some of them actually believe it. I swear you could, and probably should, make a documentary about these folks.

I'm "hoping" to win the natty. If I'm being realistic, this team plays 10 P4 schools next year with 5 SEC road games. The offensive line remains to be seen, and the starting quarterback is coming off of a major injury. The offensive system is new. I could easily see 8-4.

Agreed

So we’re going to weigh the timespan of before the forward pass was invented as the same weight of the last 25 years? Interesting conclusion.

---

Do you know what LSU’s winning percentage is over the last 25 years? LSU went 204-83. That is 71.1%

On average that equates to 8.5-3.5 over a 12 game schedule. Saying LSU is an 8-4 program is pretty accurate.

I did know that. Just saying the statement to the poster I replied to was inaccurate and simple minded thinking. Just like yours is with saying that an average of 8.5-3.5 for 25 years means we should expect 8-4 every year. Simply simple minded. An example is itd place LSU 3rd in the SEC in that timeframe excluding Oklahoma who played in the big 12 a significant portion. Should every program below them expect 7-5 or worse every year? Of course not itd be dumb to even try that argument.

You are correct, an average is just that - an average. It doesn’t mean LSU fans should expect to win 8 games every season. LSU fans should expect 7 or less regular season wins on occasion. Like 2025, or 2021, or 2020, or 2016, or 2008. Over the last 25 seasons, LSU has finished the regular season 7-5, or worse, 5 times.

---

Potentially. As should all or most programs so still not seeing your point. Again, all but 2 have lower averages. So not sure where this convo is going or what the point is.

I predict we don't see any posts from LSU fans about how the "cupboard wasn't bare" when Lane arrived, even after years of solid recruiting classes under the previous coach.

Amazing how that will seemingly only apply to Alabama.

---

It isn't necessarily bare, Whit Weeks and TreyDez Green are good players.

Overall, they have about 60 new players on the roster, including an entirely new quarterback room. Offensive line is mostly all new as well.

He doesn't want us to eat rat poison, he's from the Saban school of rehabilitated coaches, he knows what he's doing

Or we could just keep it to this current era/decade 2020 5-5 2021 6-7 2022 10-4 2023 10-3 2024 9-4 2025 7-6 Overall 47-29 (0.6184) Average 7.8-4.8

Sure. If you rule out all factors as to who’s leading the program which is a pretty major part of how a team performs lol. Ed Orgeron/Brian Kelly led programs versus Lane Kiffin. If you believe Lane Kiffin will keep that current trend more power to you. Most non biased viewers do not, however. We’ll see who’s correct here in a few years.

quote:

---

Brian Kelly is 200-76 in his career, average 9.1-3.5, with 3 top 5 finishes Lane Kiffin is 116-53 in his career, average 8.3-3.8, with 0 top 5 finishes

---

They’ve led different programs in their career with very different statuses. Brian Kelly majority at Notre Dame and LSU (historically good)
Kiffin majority at an historically bad Ole Miss, a year after a down Tennessee, a couple with USC on Probation, and FAU.
Yet another example of apples to oranges comparisons that people try to use to draw their own conclusions. Like I said more power to you to have whatever opinion you choose to have. I’m just providing points to think more logically.
