If what people are saying is true, he was barely involved in either.



There are still relationships established and everything else regardless. Now your staff for the most part has no reason to recruit, no reason to develop and no reason to care about the future at LSU.

I know the effects of this because that's what happened to Tennessee with Dooley once their staff and Dooley knew he was going to be fired. You don't want a staff like that. I know someone in their AD, it hurt their program bad.

NIL will soften that to some degree, but still not ideal.

Who said he was the best coach ever?

I never thought he was elite or anything, he's just a good coach that was apparently checked out.


You did. Constantly talking about highest win% this and that. And how with LSU's resources even Coach O and Les Miles won NC. Just weeks before he was fired even.

And now suddenly no coach at all is better than he is.

It's cute he's all of sudden pretending he never thought BK was #2 period in the SEC.

If the staff isn't retained, their recruiting efforts would be for naught anyway.

As far as development, we're talking a month roughly. Not a huge loss IMO. And we're likely to see a mass exodus anyway.

That's a blatant falsehood, I never said he was some great coach. Usually, my conversations around his win percentage were in response to someone saying he was a "bad coach" or "sucked" or something.

My stance was always that he was a good coach who won more games than many in this conference, ultimately it wasn't enough.

He had the second best win percentage for a time.I don't recall saying he was the second best coach, if I did, feel free to link it.

It's not just a month, it's a month in the middle of the biggest development time of the year. Schools have lost money on bowl games just for an extra month of practices and development time.

You were a big enough cheerleader for him that people make fun of you for it. It'll leave it at that.

I challenge anyone to find a link of me saying something unrealistic about BK, you won't find it.
