But LSU just hired the head coach that feasted on a “weak SEC schedule”. And paid a good bit for him.

There was a drop off before Saban retired. So do you want to compare Saban’s peak vs what it was when he retired? Or we can compare Saban at his beginning at Alabama to his peak at Alabama. Shula was fired at the end of the regular season with a 6-6 record. Saban was 6-6 at the end of his first season at Alabama. Not much of an improvement.
Was pointing out both were at a 50% rate after year two. You seemed to want to make it sound like Saban was at 82% and KD is at 50% at their same time frame at Alabama.
So Saban’s second year at Alabama he would have been in the 12 team playoffs? So that would be a 50% rate right?
It came from the SEC site. I don’t know for a fact that they are accurate or not. But Auburn only having 8 doesn’t help your argument. Just shows average program range. The 13 is counting SIAA and SOCON. So Auburn would be just 5 SEC championships.

LSU was an average football program before Coach Saban. I just did a quick search and before Saban it shows LSU had 7 SEC championships. Auburn had 13. Georgia had 10. Tennessee had 10. Ole Miss had 6 in that same time. In that same timeframe Alabama had 23. So going by just the number of SEC football championships they would be “average at best.”
If you compare the two schools before Coach Saban you should be able to see why. I know you are going to say something about history doesn’t matter. But before Coach Saban went to LSU what were they? Average team at best. Before Coach Saban went to Alabama they were still considered a top brand. I believe they had a national championship in every decade except the 80’s.
I would say top 3 of teams looking for a head coach right now.

Kelvin Sheppard should be LSU’s top target.

You think it might improve once the starting running back returns? He had an upper body injury right before the FSU game. You may have noticed they have been using the entire running back group so far this year. Even the freshman.

Burrow and Daniels didn’t play in the NFL in 1989.

The US imports about the same amount of oil it exports daily. Stop importing foreign oil.

Time of possession. The defense gets a stop and go straight back on the field. 3 and outs and turnovers are killing them.
re: If DeBoer keeps Milroe as starter Elko is a better hire b/c Elko is a leader

Is Elko a better hire than Saban? Saban tried to bench Milroe last year. Nearly got the second and third string qbs killed when the offensive line quit during the USF game.

The defense is learning a new system with several freshmen starting or playing significant minutes. The offense is a mixture of last year’s offense with sprinkles of the new system. And Milroe is just not a good quarterback. He is 10 percent highlights and 90 percent bad.

Not sure what's funnier. You pretending women's basketball and softball are major sports, or you pretending that LSU is your alma mater. :rotflmao:

also not sure why we'd even count a transfer as an "inherited player" as they never played for Kelly.
Because it's what he started with when he took over. Transferred out because Kelly brought in transfers. Kelly did a great coaching job that year. Why embellish what he did that year with false claims?

I mean it may have been more like 42 or so, that's not a huge difference really.
It was 52. I get it, LSU fans heard during the bowl game that they only had 39 scholarship players and took that to mean only 39 left. But to keep parroting that number after an LSU writer wrote the actual number is a bit hard to understand.

Per the 247 Team Talent Composite, 2022 LSU started the year with 72 scholarship players.
The self imposed scholarships. And a couple transferred out after spring. But 39 is not true according to the LSU GEAUX247 site. Sporting News had the same numbers.
