The games at UK and at MSU certainly look tougher than anticipated before the season.

I’ll give you Saban. However Kirby had never been a head coach. So as far as tiers go. Lane comes into LSU in a higher tier than Kirby went to UGA. If you want to talk present day Kirby then you’re gonna have to wait some years.

Sure, but I'd also say that A&M and Arkansas look a lot easier now. Even Auburn looks worse than I expected.

I don't know. What did I Ole Miss fans say when you asked them this question after week 3 in the covid season?

Yeah, but Kirby had been such a huge factor for Saban at Bama for years when UGA got him. I think I would feel differently about LK’s ability if Saban had retained him longer, like he did with Kirby.
I just find it funny it’s always referencing Saban and Kirby’s first year records, but not Brian Kelly at LSU (10 wins) or Jimbo Fisher at A&M (9 wins). The first season can be incredibly misleading as an indicator of success, because of varying factors.

I am always on the 1st year is what it is train, but it does have limits for most.

Accepting a 7 to 9 win season from the outset sounds more than reasonable. If better, great.

But, I do wonder (and don't think it occurs) what the floor of acceptable wins would be for most LSU fans that would start casting doubt on the hire in their minds in year 1 and completely place laser focus on year 2 for a marked improvement or else sentiment, even though his contract isn't seeing him go anywhere for a while without cause.

Same as I did before. I figured best case go 1-1 vs OM/A&M and the 1-1 vs UT/UA. With a strong possibility we have 3 losses in there. This feels like a fringe playoff team unless Sam gets his shite together.

I’m sure your questions about which type coach gets referenced likely has something to do with your new coach not tracking the way of Saban and Smart.

We are choosing them and you are choosing to ignore them because, whether you like it or not, hope springs eternal. That applies to both of our fanbases.

If all these dipshits REALLY thought Lane was gonna be a complete failure they wouldn’t start 40 threads a day about him. They know what’s coming. So here we are.

So you think Lane Kiffin is going to be more like Kelly or Fisher?

What have you based that on?

QB is a spaz and I'm not excited about some key injuries. Week to week, rebounding from Kelly wasn't a 1 year fix. If our season has taught us anything it's that people like to manufacture drama.

I'm really scared.
I don't see another win for several weeks.

We should have hired Golding and his OC.

Genuine question, no snark—why do LSU fans keep referencing Kirby and Saban’s first year records? What makes you think either of those situations are comparable to Kiffin’s, or that he’s on the same coaching tier as them?


Because they think it’s 2016 still

Not concerned. 10-2 is still likely finish and a spot in the CFP. 11-1 is a possibility.
9-3 maybe, but would require some no-showing by the team as a whole.
