The last time we re-hired a former NC-winning DC at LSU… it didn’t work out too well.

NFL career cut short. Very short.

Coaching the playoffs as the head coach of Tulane while going to Florida is worlds different than coaching Ole Miss while going to LSU. Just saying


IMO it made much more sense for UF to expect him to leave Tulane before the playoffs. Tulane had 0 chance of winning the NC. UF needed him in Gainesville to recruit, portal, etc. It worked out especially since Tulane was booted from the playoffs early enough before the portal opened.

I understand why OM didn’t. I think Sumrall making the comparison to Kiffin’s situation is apples to oranges, in line with your comments.

Well played, Sir.

He did a good job at Troy too. I think he’s got a lot of potential. We’ll see if it translates to a major program.


One thing in his favor is that he hired good coordinators IMO. Keep good coordinators on staff, and you’ll always have a chance. If you stop doing that… see Gerry Dinardo ‘98-‘99.
My impressions of Sumrall and Golding are that they like to hear themselves talk. They say things, almost scripted stories or cute analogies that they rehearsed 100 times in prep for questions they know are coming. The media and their fans eat it up of course. Good for them, it just comes off as disingenuous to me.

FWIW my comments aren’t related to Sumrall’s Kiffin piece, which was relatively harmless. I do think he’s full of crap that he’d have walked away from Florida if they’d told him he was needed immediately in Gainesville (which would have been reasonable) and couldn’t coach Tulane in the playoffs. But I understand why he says it. I’ve just found his rah rah tough guy schtick a little over the top since his introductory press conference at UF.

Re: Golding, I think he’s trying too hard to pander to the OM fans, when he’s got no skins on the wall. Again though I also get why he says what he does, it just comes off poorly IMO. I do think his comments on Kiffin today were classy, even if he did seem hyped up on speed. He was entertaining.

Scott had said that if she “sees a boy in my house I will put a hole in his arse,” the daughter later told cops, according to the affidavit.

The teen eventually let her mother inside, where Scott allegedly found Morton hiding under her bed, the court doc states.

“Get out of my house bitch,” she allegedly screamed, and followed Morton out the front door.

That’s when her daughter and a neighbor allegedly heard a gunshot ring out.

She looks like a poor man’s Mike Francesa.

Of the top-ranked players who aren't in this projection, it's almost entirely high school prospects with tough signability that could push them to college. RHP Coleman Borthwick (Auburn commit), C Sean Dunlap (Tennessee), SS James Clark (Duke), SS James Tronstein (Vanderbilt), RHP Joseph Contreras (Vanderbilt), LHP Bo Holloway (Vanderbilt), RHP Bryce Hill (Stanford), and RHP Jensen Hirschkorn (LSU) are real threats to end up in college.


ESPN Mock

Kiley McDaniels’ mock on ESPN has a clip indicating Hirschkorn is a tough sign for MLB. Fingers crossed. (List looks promising for Vanderbilt also.)

It shouldn't, it was obvious.


Not that it was unexpected. It never felt like LSU had a good chance. It’s disappointing that a kid of a past LSU star who also happens to be the top HS basketball player isn’t coming to LSU. You hope to have an “in” with these kids, and it didn’t work out. I’m sure the past 4 years didn’t help.

Excellent point. He was a badass in more than one instance.
