Sorry that all of your coaches end up being shite, I guess?

LSU’s current coach has taken some beatings.

In his one season at Tennessee he lost 42-17 vs Ole Miss and 37-14 to Va Tech. At USC he lost to Oregon 53-32, Oregon State 36-7, and Arizona State by 43-22 and 62-41. At Ole Miss he lost to Alabama 42-21, LSU 45-20, and Georgia 52-17,

That is quite a few losses by 21 points or more.

No one tell him that Kalen has 3 in 2 years at Bama.

I don't think DeBoer is bad, just interesting to see the same Bammers who trashed BK make excuse after excuse for Kalen when Kalen took over a much better situation.


And yet Kelly’s most successful season at LSU was his first one when he only had 30 something scholarship players when he arrived.

LSU got progressively worse under Brian Kelly. Alabama and Deboer got better between year one and two.

Everyone here is well aware of it. LSU fans won’t let us forget that their biggest achievement over the last 5 years was Indiana beating Alabama.

I guess it's good that Lane got blown out as much in 6 years at Ole Miss as Kalen has in 2 at Alabama.

Oregon or back to Washington

SC could be an option if he wants to get out.

How many more years do you think it will take before Lane gets his first win against Alabama? He is currently 0-5. Surely he won’t end his career winless against Alabama.

Not even close to being on the hot seat. Schedule is favorable, although that game at State is a potential trap. Georgia at home is a massive test, but they passed that test last year in the regular season.

Jalen Milroe was our starting QB, and he literally couldn't throw a slant.


DeBoer started a first rounder at qb last year, didn’t seem to make a difference.

Ty Simpson had a cracked rib, a lower-back injury, elbow bursitis, and lost 10 pounds due to anti-inflammatory medications that were used to manage his pain.

Alabama still played in the SECCG and won a CFP game.

Sorry you missed it.

Moral victories.

Can’t wait until one of your many alter accounts comes in to argue with me.

Or the Auburn sucks reply. That’ll be cute, too.

DeBoer is not on the hot seat.

I'd also remind everybody that Indiana got embarrassed in 2 of their last 3 games in 2024. I'm sure we all remember people yucking it up about them being a paper tiger floated by soft Big Ten scheduling.

For all we know, Alabama is about to make a real run at this year. Last year is last year.

Kalen DeBoer is not on the hot seat and allot of you need to quit hyperventilating. Take a breath. The guy has been at Alabama for five minutes and apparently anything short of going 15-0 means Tuscaloosa is ready to fire him. Thats an unpresidented standard even for Alabama and they’ve had enough governors down there to know better.

Replacing Nick Saban was always gonna be a feudal situation. Everybody thinks they own the throne. DeBoer loses a game and suddenly half a doesn’t posters want to pylon him while the other half are looking for an escape goat. I eluded to this when he was hired and there were signs then too. You dont replace the greatest coach of all time without some growing pains. Thats just common cents and Alabama has plenty of money.

And enough with the “hot seat” talk. The man coaches in Tuscaloosa. Every seat is hot until October. Give him another year before you start measuring him for the electric chair. If he goes 8-4 again then fine, we can have the conversation, but right now this whole argument is conical. Just going around in circles.
