re: Eli Drinkwitz - PSA

What if Drinkwitz is the best we can do?


I'm not as down on Drink as others, but if he's our choice, it means we are toxic to the other more desirable coaches due to the political nonsense going on.

And thats how we got here. Look at all,the people,getting SNAP, Thats free groceries. Biden expanded it and brought in a shitload of illegals and signed them up too. All that demand means prices are going higher.


We got here because companies saw an opportunity to get record profits under the guise of "market conditions" and never went back after those conditions went away.
quote:

By all accounts Brad Davis was a good O-Line coach before he came here and we seemed to be fine before Joe Sloan became the OC.



There's no evidence to back this up.

Davis has been coaching for 21 years, and this 5-year stretch is his longest stretch at a school.

He bounced around almost yearly since he started coaching at FBS schools.

In the SEC he coached:

4-7 Florida team
8-5 Mizzou
6-6 Mizzou
3-7 Arkansas (COVID)
6-7 LSU (Orgeron)

Then got the benefit of the doubt with Daniels covering up poor OL play for two years.
Tell yourself 20 years ago that a QB would lead the Saints - the team win a single playoff win in franchise history - to a Super Bowl.

Think about how insane that thought would've been. There's your answer. It's not a knock on Eli at all.
There are a few NFL jobs that may open up that could be attractive for offensive coaches like Kiffin.

Miami is one if he thinks he can fix Tua. The Bengals should be open, but it seems apparent they won't get in a bidding war for a coach or anyone.

He could also find the Giants and Dart interesting.

I have to imagine it is absolutely exhausting as a CFB coach right now with a complete roster turnover year after year now.

Remember when kids around 2000 would incessantly say "Wazzzzzzuppp?" because of the Bud commercial?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure parents didn't get it either, then.
The problem that the committee has set up for ND is what happens if they and Miami win out, and aTm loses 2 down the stretch (Mizzou/Texas).

Miami doesn't play another ranked team, so they won't have a chance to jump ND again, and aTm would certainly drop out of the top 10 with 2 losses.

So ND would be ranked ahead of two teams that beat them, while they would also finish the season with only a single ranked win (if USC can beat Oregon).
quote:

The biggest indictment of the Miles/Cameron era was Slinger stepping in and calling plays out of the same playbook and putting up 600 yards


That's why Alleva had to fire Miles after Auburn then and there.

That team was going to bully Mizzou, Ole Miss, and Arkansas regardless who the coach was because those teams couldn't stop the run at all.

Alleva was rightfully worried that Miles would gain momentum to keep his job another year.

ND misses the FG still up 12-7 on BC at the half


ND is really getting rewarded for their brutal schedule.

quote:

Ohio State is like old Bama...nothing inherently exciting.... Just methodically sit on you and quietly take a dump on your hopes and the games over but the other team doesn't know it yet.


But outside of Texas, this has been an even worse version of the normal "weak OSU schedule."

It's likely that 5 of your final 6 opponents (all B10 teams) finish at best .500 - Purdue, UCLA, Rutgers, Wisconin, Penn State.

Michigan, Illinois, Washington, and Minnesota are all decent, but not dangerous teams.


This is honestly more of a problem caused by the 16-team conferences. It really dilutes the opportunities for big games. This isn't exclusive to the B10. Look at aTm's SEC schedule who, if they win out, may not have a single ranked team on their SEC schedule.

It's understandable that there's been so much that you forgot, but the Charlie Kirk statue thing created additional negative attention to LSU, too.
And had Bjork not extended him, it seems likely that Jimbo would be our coach right now, because Woodward would've given him the same $100M contract to come to LSU.
quote:

Embarrassing how?


Because LSU and Louisiana are the butt of every joke right now nationally.

Whether or not you want to believe it, having negative national press is not great for a CFB program.

Great. Now when we pay someone 10 years/$130M, Craig from Springfield can say MHM SEE JEFF LANDRY JUSS LOOKIN OUT FOR THE TAXPAYER, MAKIN SURE WE GET GOOD DEALS YKNOW


We've seen multiple people on this board state pretty much exactly that.

Well I did not read the contract and I am not a lawyer, so I would not understand the language in it. Jeff is a lawyer, and that's what he stated.
Again, just what he said.


It's the MO of current politics to just spew as many lies as possible, because people can't fact check them all.

This is Kelly's Contract.

it is explicitly stated IN THE CONTRACT that if a donor does not step up to pay the buyout that the state of louisiana is on the bill


Please show your work.

The contract says LSU has to pay the coach.

Just popping in to say Jeff Landry is the dumbest mother fricker on the planet


He continues to make LSU and Louisiana a national laughing stock.
It's iffy.

He may have kept the 2022 team enough to just miss the CFP at 10-2.

I think he matches Freeman's 9-3 in 2023, and probably does the same in 2024 with that easy ND schedule. Does he win a CFP game vs Indiana? I don't know.

It all depends on how much ND got tired of his attitude.
Jimbo is the objectively correct answer here. Woodward probably still thinks that hiring Jimbo for 8M+ right now is the best course.
Reminder that the transfer portal rules basically force teams to pick a coach before January.

The window closes on January 16, so hiring a coach even into the 2nd week of January puts us so far behind the pack going into the 2026 season.

Now there are caveats for coaching changes, but losing the spring portal window is huge.
