Classy move.
This program could have completely fallen off the rails following Orgeron (see Auburn or Florida), but overall Kelly kept us in a decent place. It certainly didn't live up to expectations, but the roster is in a much better place now what what he inherited when he took over and I'm grateful for that.

Did he give a reason why he'd want to make a move? He seemed pretty content there to me.
re: Orgeron vs Frank HC records just for comparison.

One coached in the SEC, the other wasn't even at the FBS level.
First off, I don't see him leaving South Bend, but I actually think he'd do well here.
I know many on this board have PTSD from the previous Notre Dame hire, but he did just take them to the natty last year.
I actually got to go up to South Bend recently and see him interact with the team and we'd be lucky to get him. He's actually one of the most impressive coaches I've been around. It was also interesting to hear how much more people in the athletic department liked him over Kelly and how much the culture changed.
Like I said, I'll believe it when I see it and find this hard to believe, but I'm here for it if it somehow happens.

It's a high risk, high reward move. For every success story you mentioned, there's five who didn't work out in this same scenario.

If this logic justifies Morris getting a look, then why not Ryan Silverfield at Memphis? He's 29-6 over the last 3 seasons and, if the CFP started today, would have Memphis in. During that time he has wins over Arkansas, Florida St, and close losses to Mizzou and SMU. He's 45 and has multiple years experience in the NFL.
This. If we're going non-power four he's one of the ones I'd consider. Has a way better resume as a head coach than Morris.
re: LSU fans should be able to identify the next hot coach early and the hire is clear.

A 43-33 overall record and losing seasons his first two years before this one gives me pause.
5-7 in 2023
6-7 in 2024
Would be mighty risky.

I'll say this....I know someone who's big in the business of college football and has worked with Verge extensively over the years.
He predicted Verge would be hired as the AD and has had nothing but positive things to say about him.
This guy has worked with most major ADs/coaches in some capacity or another so I trust his judgement.
Give Verge a chance for now and let's see how he handles this football hire.

Yeah, I know for a fact Nebraska doesn't tailgate anywhere close to the extent we do, so that's somewhat misleading.
Wisconsin tracks though :lol:

re: Rousse + Dalton is a home run for Louisiana

Honestly, it looks like LSU took an innovative approach to playing off both of their strengths and created specific roles tailored to each of their lines of expertise.
I'm pleasantly shocked and approve of this.
Now, let's hire one of the best ADs out there and consequently a top-tier coach.

Dalton certainly came across as the most impressive from their brief elevator speeches.
re: Theres too much smoke on Saban
Posted by ATLTiger7 on 11/3/25 at 4:08 pm to GrizzlyWintergreen
The smoke is mostly that we were making an offer to him, not that he necessarily accepted. I think we reached out, but he seems happy in retirement...we'll see.

It's definitely gone down hill recently in the last 5 years, but luckily there's still plenty of time to course correct and fix things. I already saw huge improvements for the A&M game.
We need to focus on enrolling students based on merit and less on demographic quotas, which includes requiring standardized testing.
We also need to attract students who will help increase our endowment in the long run (private school kids, kids from affluent areas and out-of-state kids), but with an emphasis on keeping Louisiana's best and brightest home.
Then, clean up the area north of campus, as well as Tigerland, and LSU should thrive.

This is so LSU. We only support the Tigers when we win, fricking losers.
I mean we do at home. We've sold out our 100k seat stadium for every home game so far even though the product on the field left a lot to be desired.
How's that empty student section at VHS for the Wash St game look when the Rebs have had their best start in decades?

It's actually quite the opposite. We're probably top-3 with UGA and Tennessee.
We had 40k fans travel to Vegas last year for the opener, 30k go to Lambeau in 2014 and about 25k go to L.A. for UCLA in 2021 and 20k go to Seattle for UW in 2009. Not many fan bases could/would do that.
That said, given our current situation, we're probably not traveling in droves to T-Town this year :rolleyes:

I do believe there are only two places he'd even entertain returning to and we're one of them, but I'll believe it when I see it. He seems content in retirement in this new crazy landscape.
It wouldn't shock me at all if we at least reached out to gauge his interest though.

Honestly, that trolley line down Nicholson to downtown that Kip wanted, but Broome nixed could help a lot.
You could quickly move thousands of people off campus to downtown and disperse the traffic a good bit.
I know it's not feasible due to cost, but I've always wished we could have a bridge from LSU to across the river and have lots of parking options there as well. Would greatly help with anyone heading West after the game.

I mean looking back, O was a hot commodity at that point after assembling and coaching one of the best teams of all time.
Burrow literally said he deserved a "lifetime contract" during his Heisman speech.
In hindsight it looks bad, but who knew O would mail it in after the natty and things would unravel so quickly.

Maybe one day after he has some head coaching experience, but we're in a very delicate spot right now where we can't take a big risk after everything that has transpired.
