Well I can't disagree, as someone 60 years old, what is going on is all the old Political nepotism, incompetence, and Baton Rouge (State Government and Governor) interfering with LSU football that Louisiana can't shake itself from.
Every know and then, we have to get this types of situations to show why Louisiana and Illinois are the 2 most politically incompetent and corrupt states in the Union.

This abomination of an offense has a life of its own. A new coach and major offseason fumigation will be required to fix it
Not saying that is not required, but I think it goes much deeper, we have serious personnel issues on the OL. That is ultimately on Kelly. In hindsight, should have gotten about 3 to 4 Million to play Campbell and Jones, or at least tried. Rather than spend the money on the 2 TE's from OU and Aggie (who does not play here and did not play there) and the 2 WR's (from UK and OU), that money should have been spent on 4 OL who had starts, in addition to the 2 you brought in. Let them all battle it out in spring.
DL can't get pressure with 4 man rush at all.
We can yell coaching all we want, I think the reality is this roster in year 4 of Kelly is not that good top to bottom.

The Tigers will be coming in hot after they rid themselves of the BK cancer. Frank will have them energized & playing loose with nothing to lose.
Meanwhile, this is the kind of game Deboer's struggled with. On paper, bama should roll them, and they could be overconfident & looking ahead to OU.
If you get creamed by a 4-4 ACC team, then anything is on the table.
No, Bama by minimum of 2 TD's. Good day.

Yall realize South Carolina should have beaten them, right? And that FSU did?
Context for that game I think matters, Bama had played at UGA, then Vandy, then at Mizzou, then TENN and then at SCAR in a 5 game stretch.
SCAR was in the perfect spot to pull an upset, at Home catching Bama after those 4 games vs. all ranked teams.
LSU is on the road and Bama, as LSU, is coming off a bye week. 10.5 seems about right to me.
re: Tennessee fans, tell me about Josh Heupel (some smoke in regards to LSU)
Posted by JKChesterton on 11/2/25 at 10:19 pm to Tigerbait1977
quote:
Seeing on Tennessee On3 boards and some Twitter smoke that Heupel could be on his way out possibly? Seems like a long shot, but I’m curious if Tennessee realistically thinks something like that could happen? As a reasonable LSU fan, I think Tennessee and LSU probably pretty similar and would be maybe a lateral move. I do think he would do well here though.
Thoughts?
My take the smoke signal is Jimmy Sexton getting that out there, without it ever being traced back as now you have LSU, Florida and Auburn open. So Sexton sees if he can get Heupel a raise, he has gotten TENN back playing well and is 2-2 vs. Bama (their top rival).
Lane is also getting paid if he stays at Ole Miss and now Sexton has 3 schools to leverage more for Lane from Ole Miss (which is where I think he stays).
Coaching searchers are Jimmy Sexton's world.

Right, but they still made a hire late.
So you are worried about the class? Seems like recruits are more willing to play for LSU without BK than whoever the coach is. I know recruits sign early now, but technically signing day is still Feb right?
Now with the early signing period of 15 December, about 85% of signing classes are done on that date.

Way wrong answer
Garrett Graves pissed off every republican leader in the state. Woodward and Graves were buds. Big buds
Not it, I live in Baton Rouge, Landry as AG ran for Governor and Steve Scalise backed Landry and wanted Graves to be aligned with him n backing Landry. Graves backed Stephen Waguespack who was part of Jindal's administration and then was the leader of the Baton Rouge Chamber of Commerce.. Graves backed him. Scalise was pissed off at him, correct, and he and Landry worked to redraw the Congressional districts to gerrymander Graves district out of existence.
Landry and Scalise worked with Cleo Fields in Baton Rouge to create a 2nd black majority district, (Cleo Fields now holds the 6th District which Graves use to hold) which it seems both Conservative anti Landry factions and some black voter advocacy groups joined together and filed suit. Of course, behind all this it seems was a deal to protect pro Landry GOP and work with Cleo Fields to get enough black members of LA house and Senate to approve it (Fields was looking out for himself) districts that put large numbers of black voters in one district so he could get elected, thus diluting the impact of black voters in other districts.
Landry got sued and this case is before SCOTUS and it looks like the districts Landry drew up are going to be found unconstitutional based on this article. We will know in June of 2026 the outcome. If SCOTUS says the Districts need to be redrawn before 2026 Midterms and directs Landry to call a special session in July or August of 2026 to do so, I will vote Graves back to the House seat he had (I voted for him every time). Then in 2027 I hope he primaries Landry and beats his a...z, politically speaking.

re: Why are yall so worried about the Governor?
Posted by JKChesterton on 11/1/25 at 12:49 pm to RobbBobb
Garret Graves is GOP and was the Congressman from Baton Rouge who decided not to run for re-election when Landry and Louisiana house and senate put in place the new congressional districts, These districts I do believe are part of this recent SCOTUS case and how the districts get redrawn or if they are to be left alone I honestly do not know.
The only ties Woodard and Graves have are that they both are Catholic High-Baton Rouge Graduates, but about 10 years apart.
And no I did not attend Catholic High in Baton Rouge.

Good post. LSU fans who are either from Louisiana or went to LSU, or both, obviously look at what Media are saying who are not form here and say who cares. But the reality is Louisiana is 1 of 50 states and all the coaching candidates we are looking at, according to the hot boards, are not from here and have no direct ties to LSU, if this coaching board from 29 October is still the most up to date one.

So I think we LSU fans have to be honest enough to recognize how this is being viewed outside of Louisiana.

If the President is the Rousse from McNeese, then that suggest Will Wade might be the Men's BB coach in 2026.
Why? That makes no sense
Rousse was the guy who hired him at McNeese. So if the rumors are true that there was a push to hire Wade, he is now at NC State, why wouldn't lets say if LSU makes a change in the spring of 2026 that Rousse as LSU President, who was involved in the hiring of Wade at McNeese would not lets say at least see if he is interested in coming to LSU for the 2026-2027 season.
So my wording "suggest" in hindsight was too strong, I concede that point, but is it a far fetched theory that it could happen if Rousse is announced as LSU President next week.
re: UL-Lafayette athletics have cost taxpayers nearly $50 million over the past 3 years
Posted by JKChesterton on 10/30/25 at 11:15 pm to lostinbr
quote:
The ULL athletic department ran at a $12 million deficit in 2024, an $8 million deficit in 2023, and a $5 million deficit in 2022. Those deficits are after receiving over $16.5 million in direct institutional support - e.g. money from the university - each year.

For reference:
1. The $16.5 million that is transferred to UL-Lafayette’s athletic department from the university each year is nearly double the ~$8.9 million LSU’s athletic department will be paying Brian Kelly each year (assuming it isn’t negotiated down as a lump sum).
2. Unlike UL-Lafayette, LSU’s athletic department does not receive any direct monetary support from the institution. In fact, LSU’s athletic department transferred $2.5 million back to the university last year.
Since taxpayers are actually on the hook (for double Kelly’s buyout) for sports at ULL, should we shut them down?
Great journalism done by a Tigerbait poster, where are the real journalist in this state. Here is another article that shows ULL as a University is facing a 15 to 20 million shortfall on the academic side, while it is taking taxpayer money to subsidize ULL athletics. The article says over the last 10 years, ULL football has "lost over $50 Million".
So hey Guvnah Landry you are worried about taxpayers, drive over to Lafayette and look at ULL.
I will say I have no desire to subsidize ULL Athletics Guvnah Landry.

Well taking out the contract of what Lane would get if he were to take the LSU job, what if Lane via Sexton told LSU no way he would work for Woodward. Hanny and Ott on their show said Lane was professionally and personally pissed off that Woodward did not even give him the courtesy of an interview after O was fired in 2021.
Just a thought.

Josh Brooks
I think that could be a good choice. He does check lots of boxes, SEC experience at UGA and he is a Louisiana native and LSU alum (Undergraduate) but being from Hammond, is not tied to the Baton Rouge good ole boy club from certain HS (Catholic, Baton Rouge High, U High and Episcopal) and thus could come in and bring an independent voice.

I don't think there is any topic I could take that guy seriously on.
If LSU hires a good AD, they'll be just fine.
I do sort of agree with you with one caveat, LSU is set to announce the New President next week. If he is a guy who can project that he, and he alone, is running the show and does not come off as someone that has to run down the 3 mile drive from LSU to the State Capitol to check in with the Guvnah before he makes a hire for AD, then LSU will be fine. But ifffffffffff, all us in 2025 are going to be living in real time Huey Long's "every man a king every man a king and you can be a millionaire" LA populism from the 20's and 30's again. (hell we sort of already are)

Went to LSU. From Hammond
Some folks I know in the Hammond who followed HS ball in Hammond and rest of Tangi, etc, said Brooks and Pete Golding played little league sports, HS football, maybe HS baseball together as well.
Of course Golding is Lane's DC at Ole Miss. People are going to probably down vote this but Hanny and Ott the other day clearly said that Lane was professionally and personally pissed off that Woodward would not even give him the courtesy of an interview (That was either yesterday or Tuesday's show).
Who knows, maybe Lane via Sexton told LSU reps that there is no way he would work for Woodard. In a round about way, maybe firing Woodward gives LSU a better chance with Lane, if, and that is a big if he wants to leave Ole Miss [Saban saying he has a good thing going though kind of makes everyone wonder if Lane would leave Ole Miss].
Of course all this sounds like a long shot but you never know how Woodward not even giving Lane the courtesy of an interview impacted his view of working for Woody at LSU, if Lane is in fact interested.
