Well that post went well.

Keep trying.
And maybe consider a name change.

So much over analysis of every move. Dude has a team to lead and a job to do regardless of his next decision. Would expect nothing less than staying focused on the job.

If ever a post were to jinx a coaching search, this one may be it.

It’s usually when you’re certain you’ve got it all figured out that the rug gets yanked out from underneath. I hope Kiffin comes to LSU, but I think all this over confidence by many on this board is just setting up for a letdown. This is a 50-50 shot. There is no certainty.

What awful writing.

Why? Because you disagree with what he wrote? .

Been reading that site for over 25 years. Scott is a hometown guy with a deep love of LSU. He’s got a lot of experience and some good contacts. The site is free and the writing is genuine. Not paid opinions, spin and manufactured news.

Read it again or maybe just go read it at all.

He states that he is less certain about the decision as other schools have matched the Tigers offer to Kiffin. He also states that his usual sources have been silent. Kiffin to LSU is not a certainty my friend. There’s no done deal. Be careful about being so emotionally invested in an unknown outcome. The heartbreak could be real.

It’s honest reporting you’ve classified as awful writing. Jump back on your twitter feed where you’re more likely to be fed with engineered writing that will more closely align with and support your views.

I have no inside information, but I've never believed Kiffin would be our next coach. It doesnt withstand reasonable scrutiny.

I am in this camp. I just don't see it happening. The logic of the move doesn't add up. Stranger things can and will happen. However, it's a little challenging to square this circle.

Not at all. I don’t think he’s coming to LSU. He’s going to UF if he goes anywhere. He would do well here but would be walking into a situation priced to perfection. His price tag is sky high along with the expectations. He would have to deliver championships quickly or the situation would sour. I think there’s a better fit. We don’t need high profile hype. We need a Jay Johnson type.

Seriously, what the hell is LSU football?
Is this really the way it’s supposed to look?

Who is the guy who can come in and course correct this Charlie Foxtrot?
Who has the damn chest to take all this on and place this program where it belongs? Who can establish a new standard?

I’m not touting the return of Saban, and I’m not in the camp that believes he is coming home. However, whoever is selected as the next leader of this program will need to be a lot like him.

Or the coaching changes board won’t have had time to cool before we start this merry go round again.

I just think the longer he goes the further we will will slide. He’s not a Nick Saban. He’s more of a Gerry Dinardo.

Jury still out for me. He’s a solid coach who should be able to do really well here at LSU. Had to overcome a lot but in year 3 I think expectations are such that we see a more significant step forward.

Road bumps with replacing both coordinators which should be expected to set progress back a little initially. Also gotta learn how to operate in a live environment with all these new pieces. Probably a little uncertain and playing a little conservatively in the first game. They should get in a groove.

Tough to come out of the gate against USC but I would prefer that the Tigers meet those challenges rather than avoid them by playing cupcakes.

Injuries are unfortunate and heartbreaking but part of the game. I expect this team will continue to grow and improve. Lots of talent to work with even if you have to shift some of the pieces around.

There’s only one Saban but I don’t believe Kelly is closer to Dinardo. I remain optimistic that he’s going to have a successful program here.

Either way, I’m not joining the doom and gloom crowd out there. It’s the best time of the year! Why would people wait this long for college football and then start bitching week 1? This is supposed to be fun. A bad week of football beats the hell out of nothing but NASCAR and Golf on TV.

Geaux Tigers!

Kelly was a bad hire. In over his head. Can’t win big games.
Sloan is a mediocre OC, too conservative.
Nuss is the wrong QB for Kelly
D is better, but long way to go.
LSU will do no better than 8-4 maybe 9-3 with BK here.
The season is practically over, we should settle for watching others in the playoffs.
The sky is falling after the first game of the season.
And
Saban is coming back to LSU.

Miss anything?

Dishing out perpetual misery and doom.
Maybe the page should be re-titled “Tiger Melt”
