If he tries to play the way he does in the NFL then he will stay hurt. That style can’t work in the NFL as a QB. If he is a running back or receiver then ok. A team can suffer the loss of one of those positions a lot better than a QB. I just don’t know if he can take out the gunslinger part of his game though and be the same player. It makes him who he is but he doesn’t have the size for it at the next level.

At what point do the players start looking at this situation and start wondering if any promises made by LSU would be honored if they come to the school to play?

Got to think some of these big HS players and portal players will worry about having a deal pulled out from under them later if they don’t preform. I’m sure that’s what coaches around the country will be telling recruits anyway.

Where did he play his college ball again?

Maybe you should have more reasonable expectations. :lol:

I’m not saying LSU can’t win. I’m not saying they can’t be successful or be competitive with anyone. All I’m saying is LSU doesn’t have the background of the schools I mentioned. Yet we have some LSU fans on here acting like it’s the best job in the history of college football. That’s being disrespectful to the history of the game. All those schools have earned the right to be considered the giants of the sport. I hate to admit that ND, Ohio State, Michigan, etc etc are giants of the sport. It takes my nerves to admit that. They have earned that right though by being highly successful over the decades. LSU can earn a spot there but not yet. It takes building a dynasty or 2 to even be mentioned at the top with those schools. Sure LSU has money and talent. They have everything you need. But so does a lot of places. It’s about more than money, resources, or even tiles. It’s about winning so much that the name of the school makes people take notice. LSU has been as good as anyone the last 20-25 yrs but they have a long way to go yet to be mentioned with the kings of the sport.

What did I say. Doesn’t always mean the coach leaves but at least the name of the school gets them in the door with any coach. Sark was offered the Bama job too and he declined. He did listen though because he had respect for the school.

The difference between Bama, Ohio St, Michigan, etc, etc is that coaches know they can sustain long term success at these schools. Coaches grew up hearing these names.They know what has been done there and want to write their names in the pages of the history of these schools. LSU showed up 20 yrs ago won a 3 titles and now you guys think you belong. LSU needs to build 1 dynasty at least before you guys start acting like LSU is all that. Hell Miami has at least owned 1 decade. LSU hasn’t even done that much. LSU has won 3 titles since when the 50’s? Congrats that’s not even half of what Bryant or Saban did just by themselves at Bama. Let’s see LSU own a decade then come back and tell me that it belongs mentioned in the same breath as some of the schools I just named. Kirby is one title short of having what LSU has won the last 20 years. You guys can’t even go back to back. Yet some of you delusional idiots wanna pound the ole chest acting like you are king dick of the Sec. You ain’t so stop acting like it.

Probably would have been best just to keep Sunbelt Billy then lol. Don’t think those names would excite many Florida fans.

I have a strong gut feeling that Drink may end up at Auburn. The team is still playing hard for Hugh right now so I don’t think the Auburn AD will fire him in season. At the end of the season though I think Auburn jumps in this coaching change circus and I think they come away with Drink. Don’t know why but I have this feeling. If I turn out to be wrong then it will not be the first time and it won’t be the last either. I just see him at Auburn for some crazy reason.

No it’s not. Look if LSU is a top 3,4,5 job in the country then why did they end up with BK in the first place. Jimbo turned them down. JIMBO!!! I think it may have been Lanning that also turned them down. Some big name anyway. BK was not even close to being first choice.

If LSU is that kind of job then why couldn’t they go get Kirby, Elko, Lanning, Day, or any of the big names out there right now. Kiffin will listen I’m sure but it’s still cloudy on if he even wants to leave OM. It would probably take a huge contract to even get him to listen because LSU is competing with Florida and others for his attention. Can LSU afford to wait on him anyway. If he makes a deep playoff run this year then this team could transfer out on him and evaporate before he even got there.

I get you guys are excited to be rid of BK but try to be somewhat reasonable.

Not that I know of. So many coaches are gonna get new homes this season I don’t think a school has a choice but to get into the mix this season if they can. It’s kinda now or never. If they give Hugh another year then he better produce or Auburn will get scraps next season and you never know how that could turn out.
