But I’m excited for a New Era of LSU football that’s full of guys that’s going to play for the Purple and Gold regardless of who the coach is!

Give me more guys like Kayshon Boutte, Jack Bech, Neil Farrel, Mason Smith.

Just trying to bring a little sunshine guys! We’re fricking LSU, we’re going to reload, we recruit ourselves and we’ll always have talent! Plenty of guys are going to hop on the train after the coaching hire is made!

Hold your excitement, you have a long way to go... 4-5 years at least.

Nah, it’ll be next year. Also my last statement may have contradicted my point but that’s what happens. Lots of players follow coaches but I just want more Louisiana guys who will play for pride.

Time for a total refresh, from water boy to HC. My body is ready.

We can get guys from the portal as easy as we can lose them. The transfer portal gets rid of the 4 year rebuild with the right upcoming coaching hires

That isn't how it works. The good players go where they can win immediately, the bad players will go where there are openings.

You guys have been repeatedly told how this works, which is why you see my pic the way it is.

Its free agency, the free agencies go where they can win... there is no rebuild for them... basically 1 year.

But I'm laughing.

Its you guys that are losing your shite, just like you are right now.

What I have posted on this subject is more or less obvious observation as college sports has changed.

The portal jumpers haven't even started yet.

We may see more of our guys enter the portal. Some of our guys may pull out of the portal. Just buckle up.

Considering the absolute shitton of talent the next coach will be inheriting, if he’s half decent we should be back in no time.

It didn't even take Saban 4-5 years to reload a much worse situation he inherited in 2000. No one is ever 4-5 years away in a rebuild, not in this state at least. It shouldn't take more than a couple years if LSU hires a good coach

Boutte can very easily pull a stingley next year if we start losing games and get ready for the draft.

We need to 100% accept are star studs will play through injures if a championship is on the line.

It fricking sucks being a fan watch it continuously happen.

You do see a big difference with the young players attitude.. Definitely better chemistry than what we had at the beginning of the season.

We haven't lost anyone yet. The portal is a smart business move for good players to weigh their options. Just because they enter the portal doesn't mean they will 100% leave, but you know that. It's the best case for them while they don't know who the new coach will be. I'm sure the new coach will talk with each of them to convince them to stay

Delusion is high with this one. You already have quite a bit of 4th stringers and walk-ons playing, the roster hasn't even been decimated yet.

I like your spirit.

The portal jumping is at the very beginning.

You're not winning anything with walk-ons, low quality portal jumpers, and freshmen bro.

No, I'm laughing my arse off at the delusion. For the record, I never said he shouldn't fired. You are the delusional fan that wants to believe your own nonsense.

You’re missing the context with this guy though. In the aftermath of UCLA he went on a week long shite posting bender about the buyout being too expensive and then moved to transfers when it became apparent this was going to be so bad the buyout wouldn’t matter. In his mind we’re going to have to field a team of walk ons and backups for multiple years because Ed was fired.

It’s not a coincidence he registered as a user shortly after Ed was named interim.
