Many coaches have started power conference HC careers looking like they are Great. Then their QB goes to the NFL and the languish with mediocre careers afterwards.

Gene Chizik with Cam

Larry Coker with Ken Dorsey

Jimbo Fisher with Jameis Winston

Mack Brown - Vince i would say Dabo Sweeney will prove out the same.

Probably Pete Golding

Why doesn’t Lane have a great QB?
I thought he was the QB guru?

You’re saying Dart and Chambliss made Lane look better than he is? I agree

Conveniently left that one out. Great coordinators and receiving talent help too.

Pete understands the importance of a great qb, especially in today's game. He has mentioned it a few times.

Given your Monday evening post, I take it Lane's presser didn't improve morale in Baton Rouge.

Yes, we have never seen in the history of college football where great players masked bad coaches. Never ever. Coaches have no trouble whatsoever holding down jobs in this space.

Didn’t LSU spend $7 million on the quarterback position this year?

So far in his career Lane has needed an NFL level QB to win 10 games.

As a P4 head coach Lane has won 10+ games 5 times, every single time he had a future NFL QB.

USC: 10-2, Matt Barkley (4th round 98th pick, 11 year NFL career)

Ole Miss: 10-3, Matt Corral (3rd round 94th pick, 3 year NFL career)

Ole Miss: 11-2, Jaxson Dart (1st round 25th pick, current NFL starter)

Ole Miss: 10-3, Jaxson Dart (“)

Ole Miss: 11-1, Trinidad Chambliss (TBD)

Every season he didn’t have a future NFL QB he won 5-8 games.

Remember when he lost to Kentucky with Jaxson Dart because he was too busy stalking his 25 year old ex-gf in Dallas the whole week
