I thought the fan base wanted him fired earlier this year

You are correct about Womack! I live in Alabama and all of my buddies are Bama fans and they can't stand him. What's saving Womack is DeBoer's hiring of his buddy as OC, who was just fired from Seattle, and he's proven to be a complete failure! In last three games, Alabama had -3 rushing yards against Georgia, 28 rushing yards against Oklahoma and only scored 3 points against Indiana and lost by 5 TDs.

Having a complete idiot as an OC is the only reason Womack is not going to be terminated this season, but his seat is still very, very warm!

Davis is horrible. He was the hot OL name in CFB when he came to us, but it didn't take long to realize we got played and wasted a lot of money.

Under the current NIL/transfer portal model, it's only a matter of time before it collapses and fans find different outlets to spend their time and money on.

As an LSU fan living in another state, I take great pride in cheering for my home state, but I have to admit that passion is quickly waning. In years past, wearing that LSU jersey meant something, but knowing that no longer exists and players are only wearing that jersey for a paycheck, I've also lost interest. Up until this year, if LSU was on TV, I would rearrange my schedule to make sure I didn't miss the game. This year there were three or four TV games I didn't watch, and truthfully, it didn't bother me. Up until five years ago, I would go to 2/3 games a year, but I now have zero interest and I'm fine if I never go to another game.

Over the years, the reason college football has been so successful was the connection between the fans and the team. Whether you attended that school or grew up in the state, you took great pride in wearing your team's colors because it meant something.

Moving forward, it will be interesting to see how or if cfb survives. The relationship between cfb and the fans is like a marriage and when one party isn't happy, they move on to greener pastures. For me, cheering for a new group of strangers every year that couldn't care less about LSU isn't something I want to be a part of.

Love the kid, but was hoping he would go to NFL. Nothing against the kid, but ready to just hear about LSU football, not Lane's daughter.

We've been soft for a long, long time, which is one of the reasons I wanted to get rid of Baker. I do give credit to Baker for improving our defense, but we were so bad before he arrived, that anything he did was going to be an improvement.

IMO, Baker is just not an elite DC. Since arriving two years ago, our defense has improved, but we not anywhere near elite. We still can't stop a running QB and teams are still having a lot of success running the ball right up the middle. He also struggles making the right adjustments in a timely manner.

I'm thinking earliest 2nd, latest 5th

It only takes one team to fall in love with him. The OL was so bad this year and last year that who knows how good he could be with a decent OL in front of him.

For me, LSU must be in the playoffs and finish 1-2-3 in the SEC every year.

I'm glad both Sloan and Davis are gone because watching an offense on life support all season is not fun at all.

All of which flies in the face of what NIL was supposed to be. If I want to pay a guy to be the face of my car dealership, I should be able to negotiate a two year deal. Going back to the original court ruling, it wasn’t supposed to be money steered by the schools But that horse isn’t going back in the barn.

I totally agree, and sadly, it's only going to get worse. This party just got started, so we all need to buckle up and hold on because anytime agents are at the wheel, nothing good is going to come from it!

I also think fans are going to eventually find other ways to occupy their time because it's hard to root for your team when the roster is flipped every year and you have no clue who will be on your team.

I agree. The problem is it's so out of control, the players/agents may agree to some type of modification but it won't be anything significant because the players/agents know they hold all the power and there's no way they're giving that up.

I know I'm in the minority, but I didn't want Baker to stay at LSU because he's not an elite DC. Was the defense improved, yes, but we were so awful that any improvement stood out.

The reality is the LSU defense continues to struggle with teams that have a running QB and that shouldn't be happening two years as DC.

I think Kiffin's brother can only help the situation.
