starting to worry he might be LSU's guy

I just don't know if he can be successful at LSU.
Why not? What qualities are looking for in a coach that he does not possess? Be specific? And which coaches do possess these qualities that would make you know they would be successful at LSU? And are they reasonably available?
I don’t know that Freeman would be successful at LSU. But I know the odds of him being successful are a lot higher than just about anybody else that’s reasonable besides Lane, and I just don’t think the timing is right for him to come to Baton Rouge at this time. Would he have crawled over broken glass to take the job in 2021? Absolutely. But things change. College football has completely changed. LSU has changed. Ole Miss has changed. And his personal circumstances have changed. I think he stays at Ole Miss, but if he does leave, it will be for Florida due to his family ties in the state.
Back to Freeman—I’m still baffled at being “worried” he would be the hire. We could do a helluva a lot worse, that’s for sure. And odds are, we likely will.

What, exactly, are you tards trying to accomplish with these threads now? Make your tiny little pecker feel bigger for a minute while you type? Well, it ain’t.

It’s almost 100% dependent on who we hire as HC. Unless it’s Frank.

Did he issue those in a vacuum, himself? Or were they scrutinized and approved by the President and BOS?
Exactly. The President, BOS, and the boosters footing the bill could have vetoed Brian Kelly the human being, Brain Kelly the football coach, or his contract at any point of the process. The AD doesn’t have the authority to actually do the hiring. They can only find and present a candidate and then negotiate the terms that it would take to hire them. It has to be green lit by multiple people with more actual power than the AD.
I’m sure the AD does more of the vetting on the front end and there is a trust factor there, but you don’t fire Orgeron less than 2 years from fielding the best team in the history of the sport, agree to his buyout, then hire Brian Kelly to a 10 year 95 million dollar contract with his buyout without SEVERAL powerful brokers giving their approval at multiple points along the way.
Just looked it up, we had 634 yards of total offense. 216 passing and 418 rushing. And LF7 didn’t even play. Guice had 163. Darrell Williams had 130. Brossette had 73 on just 5 carries. Chark had 26. Etling had 18. Even Lanard had 12. Slinger was in his fricking bag that night.
Pretty sure we broke an offensive record that night, maybe most yards in a game? I remember being at an event for my 20th high school reunion. The game was on every tv, but there was no sound, so I don’t remember the exact record because I didn’t hear it live.
Also think LF7 broke the single game rushing record that Alley Broussard set—both against Ole Miss. Pretty sure Guice later broke it again Thanksgiving night against A&M.
Regardless, I think it was more than just playing worse teams. There was definitely a boost in morale after Les left. And Ensminger and Danny Etling were better than they are remembered. Slinger doesn’t get nearly enough credit for the ‘19 offense. And Etling is probably a top 10 QB in LSU history. (In fairness, it’s a pretty atrocious history, certainly pre-Joe.)

I thought he sounded really good, tbh.
But regarding the MVP thing, I don’t think Frank was as committed to him playing as it might suggest just reading his words. He’s only played in 2 games so far, right? I think they very much would like to redshirt him with only 4 games remaining. It would likely be in the best interest of both parties.
Even if he transfers after the season, doing right by him will be noticed by future recruits, both out of high school and from the portal. They have to balance the short-term interest of LSU with the long-term one. I think it’s a big part of why Rickie Collins played more last season than what’s his name from Vandy. Rickie had already red-shirted.

To leverage more money out of Ole Miss :dunno:

He’s no Bonds. He’s no Bonds at all.

You absolutely give him the green light there 3-0. Dude hung one and Vlad juuuuust missed it, hitting it off the end of the bat. 2-3 inches toward the barrel and they’re popping champagne right now.

That’s what I was thinking. I guess he was shallow to keep the run from 2nd scoring on a base hit.
Well, obviously. But a single only ties it. Hell, with 1 out, he may have been held up at 3rd right there. But a line drive over his head and it’s tied and the series winning run is standing on 3rd.
I’d like to see a higher view of that. I get dude getting doubled up there on 2nd if LF is playing normal depth and shoestrings it. He’s trying to get a great jump and score the tying run on a single. But there was no way he was scoring on a single where did was playing. Or wound up playing. Did he start at normal depth and then sprint up without him noticing? Wild.

Why was he playing so shallow when it was just the tying run on 2nd? It’s not like a single loses you the series. But anything over his head would have both tied the game and put the series winning run on 3rd with 1 out with a triple.
Eric Gagne and AJ talk about that AB. Apparently Bonds and Gagne agreed before the game that he would only throw him 1 off speed pitch if they faced each other.
Maybe the greatest AB in MLB history. Both ways
