Gonna be feeling like the 90s in Baton Rouge.

Had a job as a bouncer at Golden Corral lined up as a fallback. I'll see if I can get out of it.

I thought my interview went really well. Finding out like this stings.

I hate this. Actually has me thinking the money decided to slap their dick on the table and stop fricking around.
Then we're gonna turn around and announce that we hired Arizona State's OC or some shite :wah:

If I've learned anything from past hires, it's not any of the names floating around. :lol:

I liked that we got Pringle more involved in the offense. That's got to develop or we're fricked.
Looking at the box score, I guess it didn't happen as much as I thought. There for a few trips down the floor in the 2nd half we fed him inside consistently and let him work his guy to create easy buckets. Would love to see more of that.

Might not be popular, but I honestly wouldn't hate him bringing his son-in-law in. MSU broke their single season sack record back to back years after he brought him on there as DC. Couldn't be any worse than what we've got now.
It's nice to play this bad and still be up 22. :lol:

Kinda shocked it took this long, honestly.
Sealy's got some ball hog in him. Don't think I've ever seen him give it up in transition no matter how clogged the lane is.

I mean at this point that's just speculation. Is he gonna hire his family like you claimed earlier or is he keeping Wilson? :lol:
Even if he did, it's not like the assistant defensive line coach was who created the shite we see on the field now.
Now if we were talking about him sticking with Travis Williams, that'd be another thing entirely.

It's not about "keeping the staff". Hell he's already started firing people and he doesn't even have the job. You're keeping the guy that has already proven he can win here and just facilitated the only competitive part of the team even while the boosters were withholding support due to a lack of trust in Pittman.
I don't think a smart man would put much stock in the guy not being able to radically change one of the most poorly funded rosters in the conference in the middle of the season.

So where’s the NIL coming from?

I’m just in awe of the BP for HC people that think he’s gonna go hire an elite defensive staff. He’s gonna hire his family lol
People didn't like Willy back in the day either, but I'd give my left nut for his defense today.
Petrino doesn't need some home run DC hire to win. It just can't be damn near dead last in the entire country.

Sure it's annoying, but if you need a 21 point cushion to survive the 4th quarter with the lead, your offense isn't the problem.
I'm not trying to sit here and say the offense is perfect. They clearly aren't and I've been just as frustrated at times. Yes, there have been opportunities to win games and Taylen clearly doesn't handle having to be the hero well. The issue is he's having to be the hero every single week because we simply cannot protect a lead. That's the main difference between this team and Petrino's teams as HC. We weren't scoring any more points than we are this year, but when we jumped out on somebody we could hold those leads and coast to wins. That is simply not possible this year.
The perfect example is the LSU game in 2010. People love to criticize Petrino's offense for stagnating in the 2nd half this year. We scored 10 points in the 2nd half of the 2010 LSU game after going into halftime up 21-14. The difference? The defense allowed 9 points the entire 2nd half.
Texas A&M 2010 is the exact same story. The offense scored 3 points in the 2nd half after going into halftime up 21-14. The difference? The defense only gave up 3 points in the 2nd half.
My point is when whoever we're playing is setting season-highs in points scored on a weekly basis it requires us to ask a lot out of the offense, so coming down on Petrino and that side of the ball for only scoring 35ish points any given week without the benefit of getting to play against our horrid defense just doesn't seem like a fair shake to me. Copy/paste this offense warts and all onto the vast majority of teams and they're a playoff team. Even with a defense the caliber of Kentucky's we have 2 losses max and are jockeying for a playoff spot.
Enemy #1 should be the defense. Everything else is significantly further down the list.

You'll never convince me any trade like this involving the Lakers isnt a WWE style plot device. Its happened too many times.
