There is no time. There is only now. And the reality is: LSU paid about $150 million for 2026 that has a decent chance of being 6-6 at the end of the day.

Now, will 2027 be a little cheaper? Assuming no major buyouts? Sure. BK was a one off on this budget line (and frankly, I'm spitballing $150 million - it certainly can't be less than that, might be 10 to 20% higher because of stuff I haven't thought of/forgotten about).

But, a $120 million annual budget to go 8-4, 7-5, etc., simply isn't sustainable. The staff had a short clock. They missed on a starting QB (on paper, their choices looked good - I'll concede that). They failed to produce a SEC-quality starting offensive line. They failed in some key depth areas. Both offense and defense have played very inconsistently. Too inconsistently to make a playoff run (which, frankly, with the upheaval, chaos, expense, was the entire reason we did the 2025 shakeup).

And NOTHING has happened during this season to suggest significant improvement. Kiffin and Weis (if Weis stays another year) will HAVE to go find a starting QB or make one of the current ones into one before kickoff 2027. They will need 8 to 10 offensive linemen who can actually play against SEC defenses. Run blocking, pass blocking, the whole megillah.

They will need to replace what Whit Weeks can do with someone who can do it without being injured all the time. They will need to find/develop an edge to replace Princewill who will be in the NFL next year. Lockdown corners.

I assume that the easiest part will be to continue to find WRs and RBs who can function in their system. But, across the board, next year isn't a "development" year: it will be another big rebuild.

And every year after that because of the transfer/NIL/highest bidder era we're in now. And once you get the players, you have to put them in the best position to win. That's what we're supposedly paying this coaching staff for. A cynical person might suggest we've been taken. Scammed. Flimflammed. Bamboozled.
