If that's how it works then show me an example of a coach that accepted less than they were owed. Not taking less because there is some incident or circumstance that creates leverage but of a coach that was fired for losing and took less money than was owed.

shite, we'd be known as the Golden Gopher Tigers. Naw thanks...

Why...Why would we be known as that?...

Were we known as the Fighting Irish Tigers the last 4 years?

What a dumb thing to say...

I am team LSU but unless we have evidence of a contract breach that we are willing to go public with, we need to just pay what we agreed to pay when the contract was signed.

1) it looks terrible and why would any other coach sign a big contract with us if they think we will try to screw them in the end?

2) If LSU did go public with dirt, it'll look bad because he didn't get fired for misconduct, he got fired for losing. This would mean that they knew about misconduct and did nothing about it until he lost football games.

The whole thing is a mess.

Nuss physically and mentally looks like crap.

This is due to offseason

I disagree. I think he looks like a battered woman. Not saying he is soft (he might be) but he has been abused because of his OL and he flinches at every sudden movement.

Why tf would you ruin a perfectly good Friday Morning?

Stupid and takes all credit from your otherwise decent post.

The fact that you said it was a decent post proves that it didn't discredit anything.

Also the fact the our HC has been in over his head during his tenure is true and he has to prove otherwise. Until then, the head man is considered a weakness. Like I said in another post, his teams lack energy and I think it stems from the HC having a lack of energy himself.

I think it speaks to the level of PG play LSU has had under McMahon that you can make this observation after just 1 game...and it likely not be wrong.

Thank you, That was my point. He doesn't have to be a superstar to be the best we have had in a long while.

Pros:
1) DJ Thomas is the most complete PG we have had since Tremont Waters. More a distributor but a very capable scorer.

2) Max McKinnon is a bucket. Hopefully this continues and he wasn't just hot against an inferior team.

3) We have a ton of size. We have 4 guys that are 6'9+ and then 3 more that are 6'6+.

4) We have Depth. We played 10 guys with what seemed to be little drop off. Now I am sure this rotation will drop down to 8 when we play more meaningful games but it was nice to see 10 guys go in the game and play well.

Cons:
1) Despite the size, we gave up too many OReb early in the game. We seemed to get it figured out but it was disappointing to see.

2) Unless Sutton and/or Reed and/or Miller have the athleticism to really guard wing players, our rotaions might struggle against SEC teams. Often we had lineups of 2 guards and 3 forwards. Again this can work if the forwards are atheltic enough but I worry if they can do it vs better competition. If they can, this becomes a strength.

3) McBland is still our coach. He seems like a nice person so I hope this team plays well for him but I don't have much faith in him at this point.

I would say that depends on the coach

We fired our coach and the future of all of the assistants is in question. We aren't landing any additional recruits that aren't from Louisiana or have a connection with whoever we hire as our next HC.
