The defense would actually be better if paired with a good offense. Less time on the field and more pressure on the opposing offense to keep up, which leads to more turnovers.

We’re not really talking about Lane here, we’re talking about telling the rest of the staff to GTFO too when they are on the verge of their first trip to the playoffs. I understand not letting Lane stay.

As an LSU fan, this is a great narrative for flipping current OM players and recruits. “Hey, we fought to coach you to a title, but Ole Miss cared more about their hurt feelings”

As long as he is able to work with the recruiting staff to keep the class intact and can work to get his coaches in place. Honestly, that would suck for OM, his attention would definitely be divided.

Yoots? What's a Yoot? :lol:

Dumb take. Frank isn't here to be a head coach, he's here primarily for recruiting. Frank should be kept for that, even if it is an admin position. And for the love of God, BRING BACK TOMMY MOFFITT!

WAYYY too early to tell. After one game, 2025, but the 2019 defense improved over the course of the year and was solid by the time they reached the playoffs. We'll see how this year's squad fares, but happy so far!

No, it isn't. That's why I'm happy with what happened. It's shitheads like that that give the rest of us a bad rep.

Seriously, there were three horrible calls (or no calls) in the game and two of them were from the replay officials in B'ham, not Gautreaux: the catch/fumble, the TD reversal and there was a blatant grounding that wasn't called. All went against LSU, of course.

From CFN:

6 LSU

Record: 1-0
Last Week Ranking: 8
Last Game: LSU 17, Clemson 10
Up Next: Louisiana Tech

And now LSU has a defense? Uh oh. There's a real chance this is embarrassingly low.


I like this one. We have all season to move up to #1. As long as we FINISH #1, don't care.

I saw him play at Newman and worked the broadcast crew with ESPN on a game where he played against a good HS team from Florida. The book on him is that he struggles against top competition. That seems to still be the case. I wondered if him looking pedestrian against the tougher schools at the HS level had to do with the talent that he had around him at Newman and whether that would improve at the college level at Texas. So far, it seems to be the same. He is a good player. He is nowhere near what he has been hyped up to be. Look for him to put up big numbers against the relatively weak schedule that they have coming up and for the hype to ramp back up, but the jury is still out on whether or not he can do it against the big boys.

You're right, and it wasn't just the game, it was the circumstances. It was a HOME game in the desert that I watched in Orlando. We had booked the trip before the storm and weren't going to go with everything going on, but we had family who had evacuated, our house was mostly undamaged and we had gotten power back, so we just gave them our house and went on the trip for a break. The chaos of that game seemed to mirror the chaos at home a little and seeing it end well was good for the soul.
