Even Tacky Curtains couldn’t salvage a Riley defense.

There have been moments I have screamed “where is the GD spy?” against the running QBs this season, but the defense has been the reason for our 5 wins. Give him a Klein type OC, and incentive heavy contract, I wouldn’t hate it if we miss the Lane sweepstakes.

Here is a honest portrayal of what Lane can do. Players still consider Mississippi to be the racist Klan capital of the US. And he can bring enough talent they have been winning at % better than they have in a couple of generations.

Frank is there to placate New Orleans coach cartel. This same role was held during his UTSA stint by Juluke and Mickey Joseph.

I will admit it, I was excited about the Kelly announcement and bought in to never had the stallions at ND. I thought he was a pompous arse at ND when we played them but had the team up for the challenge. Was excited about our Tigers being coached up, and not just told to run fast hit hard like the Miles era teams seemed to be built around.


After 2021 season I really thought we were headed to Hallman hell. A decade of wandering the wilderness until we lucked out with someone. Here is a guy, with the most wins in the game, taking the helm in BR. And if two guys with half a brain could win here, what might HE be able to do?

I don’t know what happens behind closed doors— does he not connect with players? Is he too stubborn or cranky or lazy as the years advance? I still maintain at one time he was a decent coach— but at some point his ability to coached transitioned from present tense to past tense.

This product on the field is not worth 10m / year. He will not win a championship here, and his ceiling is 2022/ /2023 10 wins a year— with a generational talent in JD5.

It is time for him to go. Next year will be a rebuild— why in the hell would we entrust him to build anything at this point?

My uncle (RIP) was a student in late 50s and talked up the natty during my youth in the Archer futility. His last LSU game was the 2019 beat down of Clemson— and definitely was in the Dome for the BCS championships.

It honestly started to crater when he accepted transfers into the program (Gibbs and Burton come to mind).

It was no longer ride the line until you can beat the guy ahead of you. Taking in new, talented players broke the rules of the process.

1. Picking up the flag after Clemson blind sided LSU defender

2. Two times grounding should have been called and wasn’t (once very obvious)

3. Numerous holds on our OL

4. How many on theirs despite them basically talking our DLs

Other than these and the Brown TD he called a pretty decent game.

3 screens called in a row for two first downs.

I love the mindset of running it til they stop it. Sometimes OCs try to get too cute.

And the moment a team sells out to stop a screen—- air it out.

Great to see them together again. Amazing to think I started most fall Saturdays with those guys for several decades and never will again.
