That was a great team but Indiana shut down UNC in the finals the same way they shut down LSU in the semis. That UNC team had James Worthy, Sam Perkins (two future great...
re: How many of you think the DeBoer hire was a good one?

Hard to say as an old LSU fan. Curley Hallman was supposed to be the next big thing. Tex Schramm basically told LSU's AD "hire Curley Hallman and don't look back". He turned out to be the worst coach LSU has ever had. Brett Favre made him look good. No more Brett Favre and we saw who he was.

Just finished watching the replay and LSU looked solid - much better than I was expecting. The guard play was a real weakness early on but it is getting much better. LSU doesn't have a go-to big but they have a lot of depth and rotate (at least last night) well. They out-rebounded the no. 1 offensiv...
re: Best long term scenario - Baker continues to grow and takes over when Kelly retires
Posted by Manswers on 1/6/24 at 10:09 am
[quote]I get it, but Baker obviously has an affinity for LSU. Best case scenario is that he goes off to become a HC at another P5 school, Kelly hires another DC, and when Kelly retires, Baker comes back and the whole staff stays intact. That would be the greatest outcome for continuity. Of course, t...

Oh, the brakes are pumped. I’m a realist. I’m just feeling optimistic this morning and can see a long term positive future because of a combination of things that I haven’t seen in a while. We did not have this with Saban because he was too young and ambitious. We could have had it with Arnsparger b...

[quote]More likely best case scenario is Baker's success here gives him a head coaching job at a lower tier school, then he comes back when Kelly retires after multiple nattys. Same thing Kiffin is going to do at Bama.[/quote]
I agree that this scenario is a more likely positive future but it is...

Best long term scenario - Baker continues to grow and takes over when Kelly retires
Posted by Manswers on 1/6/24 at 9:50 am
I agree with a lot of the comments that most coordinators are gone in a few years - either because they becomes HCs or because they get fired. But there is another possibility that we never quite had at LSU for a number of reasons. Kelly could build a powerhouse, win a NC or 2 and hand off the progr...

[quote]Also seems unlikely that Kelly would fire a position coach and then bring him back as a coordinator 2 yrs later.[/quote]
That aspect does seem odd to me. The risk is higher for Kelly if he hires Baker. He let him leave a few years ago only to bring him back. If Baker is just average it mak...
Are the Baker rumors disinformation/misdirection?
Posted by Manswers on 1/3/24 at 9:25 pm
Looking back on the Kelly hiring, I'm convinced Riley was a misdirection and Kelly was the main focus all the time. I think LSU did that to throw off Notre Dame and maximize their chances to close the deal with minimal ND interference.
There's an awful lot of noise about Baker but I'm starting to...

I live in Michigan and have a bunch of friends who are Lions' fans - all really cool guys who would pull for the Saints in the playoffs once the Lions were out of it. This stuff has happened to both the Saints and the Lions for years....
