It's amazing how fast we went from "One Team, one heartbeat" to this...

Team was full of pussies. We saw that on the field when they played. Goodbye to them

Let's see, you ask a sophomore throwing the ball to mostly freshman WR's with little help from the running game and a shitty line to be the centerpiece and carry most of the load with a new OC and offensive line coach .

LSU had a massive cultural issue under the late miles regime. The old had to go for us to grow

Swamp kings prob realized he couldn’t fix things since the leaders were all gone from 2019 and all that was left was a bunch of soft me type players.

Smart to take the 17 mill and go to destin.
I’d prob done the same.

Stingley was the biggest disappointment. How could he devolve from the stellar star of 2019 to a shell in only one season? Was he that badly hurt?

He had a fricking foot injury that required surgery, you bunch of fricking stupid toxic shitfans.

And there’s 70 idiots that upvoted this idiotic statement and only 6 that downvoted.

How toxic is this fricking Chernobyl fan base when people constantly shite talk the players often for no reason? All of you should jump off a tall building or bridge.

You people frickING SUCK AT LIFE.

Coach O’s recruiting shtick was always: come to LSU and become a star, NFLU, we need you so bad, I’ll let you play on both sides of the ball, you can win awards, etc. That brought in a selfish mindset . I don’t know, but suspect Corey Raymond was similar to O with that.

Sabans was: we want you here if you want to win championships but we don’t need you. We will win with or without you. And show them how playing on a championship team will help their own personal goals.

Heard this from a guy recruited by both Coaches. I guess their approach could change depending on the player and what they think he wants to hear.

I think Kelly’s mindset will be more in line with Saban. Obviously the more you win, the more effective it is.

The good thing about BK is that he's going to find out the truth about these rumors that float around. He's going to find out the truth and make adjustments as needed.

It's funny though. Everyone knows that the culture is toxic. Everyone agrees that change is desperately needed. But when those changes happen some people start freaking out. When the program is in this bad of shape, change is good. Change is healthy.

It was evident to anyone with common sense that the team culture was rotten to the core. Yet for some reason certain people kept defending and excusing it to the very end because they had some personal and emotional investment in Ed O. Disgusting.

… YES.. all of this.. that’s what 5* players do these days.. things ain’t going right, just opt out, fake a minor injury or hit the transfer portal…go look for that million dollar NIL deal and sit out the year collecting.. college sports these days….

It seemed like the team disintegrated after Burrow, Brady and the championship trophy. It was uncanny and weird.
Burrow and Brady merely masked O's problems for one year. O was always a poor coach and the end result was completely predictable.

He had plenty of solid blocking and open recievers and just didn't play well.
Many sacks were his fault by moving with no presence or literally standing there till hit.

Again, he just doesn't have that top level performance

All true. But how many times did he throw the ball into the ground, when a receiver was wide open, with noone between him and the goal line.

We won't know the truth until Max is eligible for the NFL draft.
