re: It's time to get smarter about hiring HC's, starting with cheap talent having 90%+ W rates

Man, there's so much stupidity in this post, I wouldn't even know where to start. Instead, I feel it's best to keep it short and simple and just call you an idiot.
If you're calling me an idiot, then tisk, tisk. There is no way you can think the current method is the best way to do it. There's a reason we are in this position to begin with, and it's people like you who think the current way is the best way to do it.
Your way just led to a loss vs Vanderbilt. Your way is bankrupting this football team and holding us hostage to hang onto a coach that we know won't win big games.
Most ADs would be too uncomfortable doing this because it changes the status quo at such a national level. Not because they'd think it's a bad idea, but to avoid the discomfort of being a pioneer radicalizing college football into a whole new operation. Money Ball, but for College Football. Just being smart with your money to optimize your goal is more like it.
It's time to get smarter about hiring HC's, starting with cheap talent having 90%+ W rates

The risk is simply too high to be locked into 10 years, or have to fork up over $70,000,000. The next hire could be the exact same thing as this again which would require forking up $120 mil over a 4 to 5 year span. That's a reality that every fan must realize. Most don't want to think that it could be, but it could be the exact same thing again.
My advice is to go get the Ferris St head coach who led them and Chambliss to 50+ striaght wins and back to back to back Nati's in D2. Sign him to a 2 year, $3 mil contract. He only makes $200k per year now. He'd obviously sign that as it over 7x's his income, along with the notoriety of HC for LSU. If he sucks, buyout is easily manageable, sub $1 mil. You can continue to do this until maybe the 2nd or 3rd one works. That's only if the 1st one doesn't work, which it could.. This is at most a 4 year process. That is significantly better than giving a head coach a 10 year, $100 mil contract who sucks, then you have to accept mediocrity for 10 seasons. It also frees up so much money for NIL which is the only thing that players care about as evidenced by Texas Tech. We would afford to buy a much better roster with a head coach who isn't as financially demanding. Revenue sharing only adds another $20 million expense to the program leaving only less money to go to coaches. That's how the NFL works. Good players make more money than coaches.
I don't care what head coach you are a team of, winning 94 of the last 100 games and 3 Nati's in a row is elite. And he's only making $200k. I think going a route like this is exponentially better. There's absolutely no risk. His buyout would be $1.5 mil after just 1 season.
College football is stuck in a model that existed because there was no NIL or revenue share to go to players, so it freed up cash for coaches. That no longer exists. I think BK has 2 more years if I'm being honest unless Todd Graves has had enough. Todd, we all love you.
I don't care if someone disagrees with me, because I know as well as 1+1 equals 2, that this is absolutely the best way to do this. Moneyball. There is no argument against it. Oh, he sucks after 1 year? $1.5 mil buyout. Next FCS nati coach comes here after him, and goes 10-2 in his first year? Bam, problem solved. And you just saved $100,000,000 that can go to NIL. Money Ball for College Football
Never assume that because a process exists today, that it means it's the most efficient. Picture life in 1400. Picture life today. That change is solely because some people thought there was a better way to do something.

re: Joel Klatt on Brian Kelly
Posted by Footballguy1800 on 10/23/25 at 2:30 am to OzChuffnugg
Brian Kelly just doesn't have the alpha factor. Saban, Meyer, even Ryan Day have the alpha factor. Brian Kelly just seems like he got picked on in his teens because he's just kind of a soft guy. Even when he slammed the water bottle down, it was totally non-threatening. It seemed artificially manufactured. Like "I know you LSU fans are pissed, so now I'm about to pretend like I'm pissed too in order to appease you." "We're all mad, right? I'm showing enough manufactured anger to appease you right?"
0 moxy to him. That's the core at why I think he can't win big games. He has 0 moxy.

Take recency bias out of the equation, who you taking: Etling or Nuss?
Posted by Footballguy1800 on 10/23/25 at 2:26 am
I think 2017 Etling is significantly better than Nuss. For the reason his TD to INT was 16:2. He averaged 9.0 YPA which blows Nuss out of the water. We should've passed more that season. He only had 275 attempts over 13 games.

They’ll pay BK $35M over 10 years.
$53 mil is his buyout. It'd be the 2nd biggest buyout in CF history. Considering we spent $18 mil on this roster (not sure how true that is, maybe it is), I can't see a total of $71 million here. We spent $1 million on a below average SEC QB. Who only averaged 7.7 yards per attempt with the best pass blocking OL in college football last year. We should've foreseen that it'd only get worse losing your entire OL, and that Nuss just simply isn't a draftable quarterback. I don't even think he is the best quarterback on this team.

His buyout is $53 million. That would be the 2nd biggest buyout in College Football history. I don't see it happening. It all depends on Todd Graves. He is going to be the only one who has disposable income to at least put up over 50% of that. I don't even think Gordon is worth $53 mil in total net worth.

Not when you realize that he is 5-10 vs ranked teams. .333. That's bad. 0 excuse for that. Not sure if most of those were road games or not, but it seems that way because we don't often lose at home.

I would rather have a coach that goes 7-5 for 4 years in a row, then pops off for an undefeated season once every 5 years, than a coach that constantly goes 9-3 and an 8-4 every year.
re: I have a huge issue with Brian Kelly….
Posted by Footballguy1800 on 10/23/25 at 2:15 am to Pas Bon
He doesn't want to acknowledge the reality of the performance offensively.. that we weren't mad vs Florida because we won. We just had the foresight to realize that playing like this would lose every single SEC road game. It was obvious, but he didn't want to acknowledge it.
That's what concerns me most is that he doesn't want to acknowledge piss poor play. That will lead to MVB never playing this year, because he doesn't want to acknowledge just how bad Nuss is between being a completely immobile QB, to allowing Defense to attack RB on RPOs bc they know how Nuss never keeps it, to being an 'at best' average to below average SEC QB.
In AA, the first step is coming to acknlowedge that we were powerless over alcohol. Acknowledgement is almost half the battle in any situation in life. Solution action is the next half.

re: There’s always a 1% chance that Chester has his 2012 Josh Dwyihrgvkytzy vs Clowney game

Chester single handedly took off 7 points at least vs Vandy. He killed a 1st down I believe with a holding, and then completely whiffed a DE that went untouched and sacked Nuss. He's horrible.
re: Anybody have any experience renting a car from Turo?
Posted by Footballguy1800 on 10/23/25 at 2:00 am to Footballguy1800
What I disliked as the car owner was that most of them wanted me to meet them at the airport to drop it off to them which requires someone driving with me, then me coming back home with them. That's a 30 minute round trip from where I am. I told them I will do it for +$25 to drop off the car because it requires me drive with someone there and ride with them back.
But Turo is not a rent-a-car from the airport app. It's rent it out from wherever the car owner stores the car.
I would look for cars close to the airport to uber and pick up, or ask them if they do drop offs at the airport, but be prepared to be asked for more than $25 like I did because it's kind of a pain to have to find someone to drive with you to drop the car off, then get a ride back with them.

I rented my car out on Turo. It's legit. I made sure to clean mine before each time. I did kind of screw over someone because they dropped the car off at airport, and I was to meet them, but I was late. They just left the keys in the gas tank, parked close to the terminal, and walked.

A&M Defense let up 42 to Ark and ND. They're hit or miss. Sounds like they miss on the road. So defense doesn't travel.

With our running offense, and Marcel Reed being a mobile QB, a rain game is the absolute last thing we should want.
Rainfall estimated at over one inch on just the Saturday night part, 90% chance of rain. Perfect...

That's how it should be. Whenever a coach's name gets on the hot seat, it never works out, then you drag your feet for another 2 years solidifying a lesser program stance. Only case I can think of that was maybe the opposite, but not really, was Coach O. He went 9-3 in 2017 and 2018, so I don't think he was really on the hot seat pre-Nati, but the next season when he sucked and was for sure on the hot seat, it never got better.

Outside chance of sub 1%. We'd have to win at Bama. If we go 9-3 beating A&M, OU, and L at Bama, I don't know. Under 50% chance I think for sure. If we go 9-3 and L at OU but beat Bama and TAMU, maybe there.

Ole Miss wa a 6-6 program that he turned into a 10-2, at worst 9-3 program. LSU ceiling is higher than Ole Miss. He would be a much better coach than BK.

Posted by Footballguy1800 on 10/21/25 at 8:20 am to Footballguy1800
If his net worth is really $22 bil (I just saw $17 bil like 4 months ago), $50 mil is only 00.2% his net worth. Someone worth $100k, that's like $200 to them.
re: Has Anyone Here Met Todd Graves?

I'd love him if he bought out BK, and then we hired Cignetti. Then pawn off BK on another college like Va Tech, so we don't have to pay the entirety. Buyouts aren't a lump sum, they just continue paying him as if he were still employed weekly... another school picking him up would decrease it.
