Somebody should tell the NFL teams Weis turned down that he hates it at LSU, I'm sure that will be news to them.
We just spent 8 figures in one football transfer portal window after the costs to buyout Kelly and hire Lane.

The costs to buyout and hire coaches are rarely all due at once. They'll make it work

They cannot spend another 2-3 years letting a young coach develop a team.


This is a myth imo in the transfer portal era

Vandy, Louisville, Iowa, Virginia, and Michigan have all had immediate turnarounds hiring mid major coaches in the past 2 years.
He hasn’t sniffed the tourney in 4 years. A official statement was put out last year saying we needed to invest in him via the portal…and the results are no different (actually worse) The guy who hired him is no longer here. Fan discontent has largely turned to apathy at a level impossible to ignore. The new AD/president just made a major splash hire in another sport.

Use your brains, people.

Not only did the team get worse today, it also got softer and less exciting. Great day to be a Pels fan
So we basically salary dumped Jose for some 2nds because we didn't want to re-sign him for whatever reason? Good stuff

The new staff that didn't recruit him just took like 9 different WR portal commits.

Obviously I want him at LSU, and I do think Kiffin is going after him, it just seems like the media is going to connect us to almost any QB at this point


All the LSU insiders basically said we have been trying to pull this off for a while. It's more than just baseless speculation

I don't know what I'm doing, but I searched FlightAware and couldn't find any flight arrivals to BR from SEA. Nothing scheduled either.


According to a Washington fan/analyst on Twitter, he has not been in Seattle over the past week or so. Makes some sense because I doubt classes (lol) have started already

re: Demond Williams comp

Alright this has gone too far. Demond Williams is very talented and I would be happy if he’s LSU’s QB in 2026 but he is not as good a passer as Chambliss.

Chambliss lit up EVERY SEC team he played. Even the game ole Miss lost he put up 300 yards and his team scored 35 points. Williams put up 6 points against OSU, 7 against Michigan, and 14 against Oregon. Didn’t break 14 points in any of them.

He still has to develop as a passer but I definitely like him as a prospect. He just ain’t as good as Trinidad rn.
Miami or Oregon both will need QBs and can play the big boy money game.

I think there’s almost no chance of this happening.

Which is why this random Arizona writer leaking this story when it did leads me to believe it's someone trying to screw over Kiffin and LSU.


Nah he probably just heard the scuttlebutt and now that it’s out in the open he decided to let it rip

I think there’s an excellent chance that info was correct at one time. But he may not come here given we are looking at Leavitt and other QB needy schools with deep pockets will probably approach that number as well.
quote:

Wait you think Leavitt is better than Demond Williams? Lol.


They’re really similar players. Same with Sorsby. All are good runners. All are good but not great passers with the tools to improve that part of their game with good coaching.

Realistically any of the 3 would be good gets for LSU given our offensive coaching and system should allow any of them to use their strengths to the fullest.
quote:


That o-line looks pretty awesome. All day to throw.


2 top 50 NFL tackles usually makes for nice pockets.

Dampier would be a great addition but it's always tougher to get guys when they haven't even entered the portal. I'm sure we would try, though.
quote:


I mean didn’t that QB just back out of an agreement with Nebraska? Same thing right?


He had committed, not signed.
quote:

Go get Holstein who is mobile and is at least serviceable and put a good team around him.


No thank you. Go get the best player you can at the most important position on the field. People who think bargain hunting for our 2026 QB starter is the answer blow my mind.
Justin Lamson was awful at Stanford.
I think only 4 guys on this list make sense for us as the 2026 starter:

Tier 1 - Leavitt

Injury isn't ideal, but best combination of production and talent.

Tier 2 - Lagway/Raiola/Deuce Knight

Incredibly talented former 5 stars. Raiola has been a better player than Lagway and Knight but he's the worst fit in Kiffin's system due to lack of moblity.

The rest are not serious options for a team trying to make the playoff, imo.
quote:

Cedric Benson injured his Lisfranc in 2012. He never played another snap after that.

Ronnie Brown injured his Lisfranc in 2009. He declined in 2010 by rushing 200/734/5 and receiving 33/242/0. He was relegated to backup duties in 2011 and never regained the job.

After a breakout year, Darren McFadden injured his Lisfranc in 2011. His next season he declined sharply rushing for 215/707/2 and receiving for 42/258/1.


IMO this is much different than a QB who is 21 years old. These were all NFL running backs with 4+ NFL seasons under their belt.

quote:

After being drafted 9th overall in 2007, Ted Ginn Jr. injured his Lisfranc prior to his rookie season. He never reached his potential and put up less than 40 catches and 500 yards in 5 of his first 6 seasons while battling injuries.


Dropping passes has nothing to do with a Lisfranc


I don't feel great about Leavitt having the injury, but he's clearly the best option at this point even with the injury. Gotta for it and hope he recovers well.
