Since the player is going to the NFL, those schools would have no reason to confirm or deny any rumored offers. Denying them is a waste of time and confirming them only serves to run up the price with other prospects.

Do you think he's worth $6.5m? From what I've seen, I certainly don't. I'm just gonna let you think about that and see if you've got any common sense.

Worst LSU hire and worst LSU coach EVER!!!!!!!


You must be young. You must not have experienced the Curley Hallman years. He never even had a winning season and was widely mocked by everyone, including LSU fans.
Still don't buy it. That kind of money goes to a QB who can carry your team, and he wasn't that type of player. And, your comments about Bama's challenges running the ball reinforce my point. If he needs a productive running game to be a productive QB, then he's not a $6.5m player. He's just a serviceable QB who can put up good numbers running a balanced offense.

Also, he's picked to be the 3rd or 4th best QB in a weak QB year.
I don't buy this as being legit. There's no way he was in that much demand.

He'd be the first Manning to win it. No way he's any better than Peyton or Eli, and they didn't win it. Would have to be a weak year and Texas would need to break their streak of folding like origami in the big games.
People still have time to enter the portal and get poached. What you see in the portal isn't the entire pool of prospects.
No big. I trust Kiffin will have us adequately managed at this position next year.

Chambliss was the 60th rated QB in the portal last year. He worked out quite well for Ole Miss.

Didn't sorsby just get worked by Navy's defense?


From looking at the box score, it appears he didn't even play.

Simmons is probably more of their concern since he's the future


This is where I think the battle will be with Ole Miss (assuming Lane doesn't look elsewhere for a QB). Chambliss showed he can play against the best talent and scheme, while still putting up great numbers. The UGa defense is no joke. They are filled with NFL talent and they run an NFL-style defense. Chambliss proved himself last night, so I suspect he might be thinking much more about the NFL than switching to LSU. I think his backup (Simmons) is the main battle. He was the starter to begin the year before he got hurt, so Lane must already think highly of him. Plus, he'd have more than just one year of eligibility (and might cost a little less, which will give leave more for money for other positions of need).
I don't trust anything Mike Scarborough has to say. He has been proven to lie to his own subscribers.

I recall that game. If I remember correctly, Dinardo lost some support among the LSU fans afterwards by scolding them for being upset about having to come from so far behind to pull out the win against a mid-major team. He said something like "We haven't been winning long enough around here to be turning our noses up at any win."
quote:

I’m told Underwood may transfer as he places the utmost importance on relationships with the coaching staff


Yeah, that's BS. He broke off a long-standing relationship with our coaches as soon as Michigan flashed the money. We $ure know what his prioritie$ are.
Doesn't matter.

1) He signed a contract.
2) He expects LSU to honor the terms of the contractual buyout.
3) LSU expects Brian Kelly to honor the terms of the contractual buyout.
4) Brian Kelly has a contractual obligation to look for work.
5) If he doesn't look for work, he doesn't get paid.

Whether he goes to Michigan, another school, the NFL, broadcasting, or somewhere else, he needs to GAF if he wants to get paid.
In my opinion, the DEI talk is bunk. From what I observed, Moore was a continuity hire. When Harbaugh left for the NFL, Michigan promoted Moore to keep the staff together as much as possible. That's no different than when LSU hired Mike Archer after Arnsparger left.

Plus, Moore had filled in for Harbaugh during his suspension, so it made complete sense that he was elevated when Harbaugh left. Apparently Harbaugh had confidence that Moore could fill in for him, so the elevation made sense.

I don't see any evidence that Moore was hired to fill any quota or to diversify the coaching staff.

re: I agree with Chris Fowler

SEC coaches who have retired from their school since Bear Bryant:

Nick Saban
Vince Dooley
Gary Pinkel

Debatable:

Pat Dye (stepped down due to NCAA violations)
Phil Fulmer (stepped down under pressure)
Jerry Claiborne (was only at UK for 8 seasons)

That basically shows that Fowler is full of crap to say this about LSU.

I agree, in a way, about Curly. I didn't despise him (per the subject line), but I didn't like him. He seemed like a dullard who was in WAY over his head. He shouldn't have been given a 3rd year, let alone a 4th year. The writing was on the wall when we went 2-9 in 1992.

For me, it's a close tie between Hallman and Dinardo.
Tepper and his "drop linebacker" concept. Ugh. I vividly remember the angst from his two seasons as DC.
He could get more if he took the $30m settlement. Let's assume he finds another job making $5m per year (which is reasonable in today's market) on a 6-year contract. That's $30m from a new employer.

If he takes that job without accepting LSU's offer, the $30m in new salary gets deducted from the $54m that LSU owes him. He still nets $54m ($30m from new employer, and $24m from LSU).

If he takes that job after accepting the $30m offer from LSU, he gets $60m ($30m from new employer and $30m from LSU).

Therefore, a $5m per year job is likely the decision threshold between accepting or declining the LSU offer. Below that, decline; above that, accept.

His declining likely means either a) he doesn't intend on coaching at a top-end school or b) he's going into broadcasting.

If he doesn’t want to work, there’s plenty of opportunity for him to do the bare minimum and keep collecting his paycheck.


Then he'd be setting himself up for a huge lawsuit for violating the terms of his contract. LSU would certainly be willing to pay the legal costs of that fight in order to avoid the costs of the buyout.
