re: What is your prediction for the LSU/Alabama score?
Posted by Woodman on 11/5/25 at 4:42 pm to LSUPilot07
Now that Weeks is out for the game and we are relying on DJ Chester to play tackle, there's no chance of a "W" at Alabama.
The Tigers will play inspired and Nuss has his best game of the season to get the offense to score 25 [two failed attempts at two-point conversions and two Field Goals].
38-25 BAMA

Woodward stepped away from the Business-person role of an AD when he let his emotions control his decision making having heard the passionate Joe Burrow Heisman Trophy Ceremony speech.
While pretty much everyone knew and acknowledged the best thing that Orgeron did as a coach was to:
1. convince Burrow to transfer to LSU; and then to stand back and stay out of everyone else's way; and
2. listen and acted upon the strong endorsement by Sean Payton with the hire of Joe Brady.
He was a CEO coach where all of the stars aligned. Unfortunately, Kelly was also a CEO coach, but the stars very obviously did not align.
A good executive always steps back and weighs all circumstances and potential ramification [positive and negative] on critically important decisions. Scott simply couldn't have done the same as concerns the Orgeron extension. He also should have learned from the Orgeron extension mistake and not duplicate the same mistakes in the hire of Kelly.
What's worse is Woodward probably wasn't presented a "binder" that included all of the players and coaches Kelly would bring along with him to LSU. If Kelly and / or his agent was lying to Woodward [since he only brought his OC with him and a punter], then Woodward also didn't demonstrate what a good executive is able to accomplish in sniffing out the puffing / bullshite upfront in the middle of a deal . . .

Forget about his little brother.
If his dad was such a pain in the arse, why do you want to invite more years of this dad?

How would Kelly know.
Wasn't he working on his short game at the course?

We are missing our "Quarterback" of the defense. If the D-Line is "back" against a run first offense, that could make the game closer.
Chester will still be in the mix with the OLine, and, that simply is not a good thing.
Despite this being Chester's third season (along with being the full time center last season), I'm just not seeing his performance being aligned with the smarts demanded of all on the OLine.

LSU needs to strip the concept of special numbers. They are simply one more distraction from focusing on getting the job done.

As we (nor Notre Dame fans) were even aware of this hire, how did anyone know the fans were happy to see him go before the hiring went public???
No Whit = No Win.
The bigger question is whether Whit returns (after such an injury-riddled season) as a Tiger or chucks everything here in the NFL(?).

You are living in the past.
The decision he makes on Sloan after the A&M game (two weeks for the "next coach up" to ready this offense for BAMA) will have a lot of impact on both the remainder of the season outcome AND what the roster (of current recruits and players not heading to the transfer portal) looks like going forward.
Stubbornness and inaction could seal Kelly's long term fate. With revenue sharing, etc., how much more the ticket holders are willing to spend (to get Kelly out of here sooner) may be the only way to solve this glaring obstacle sitting in the way of LSU's short term possibility of success.

What competent Offensive Coordinator would come and work for him in 2026 (with the exception being that he fires Sloan now and replaces Sloan with a competent interim OC already within the staff)?

It sure did in 2019 . . .
Time to come back after the migd 1980s. He did OK as our OC during the time of Fire and Lightning (Hilliard & James). Are you suggesting he be the running game specialist.
Early Injury List for A&M (?)
Posted by Woodman on 10/19/25 at 4:28 pm
I'm really hoping we have Whit AND Gooden back for A&M.
Any word on injuries added to the current list from the Vandy game?

They are immensely better coached. Even if we had ZERO players out with injuries, it's doubtful we'd get the victory.
Remember that Joe Sloan is calling the plays and Les Miles / CBK is too stubborn to make any adjustments away from that 1-0 nonsense.

It was Les Miles that was skull dragged by BAMA on 01/09/2012 in the NC game.
That was ten years before CBK was hired.

Maybe to the Bahamas Bowl to get something good out of what will be a miserable December watching other teams who did all of the work and earned their invitations . . .
6th Round at best.
