I don’t think 200 people outside of LSU’s fanbase know who he is


You would be incorrect. Pro track and field is very big in Europe with attendance and tv attracting serious numbers. Plus he gets very big appearance fees as one of the superstars of the T&F circuit. Additionally he gets major tax breaks by being a Swede. And he got the Swedish hot model for a wife too!

NIL and CoachMc are costs regardless whether he’s retained or let go. The only additional cost is paying for the new coach and staff. The rest is already baked into next season. Not sure how that’s so difficult to understand.


Agree. False argument by many people.
But I'm hearing that Verge doesn't feel that donors are up for another big ramp up other than the obvious increase in NIL.
And the other argument is that if Jalen Reed and Thomas stayed healthy we would be in the middle of the SEC right now and be in the tournament. That would have spurred interest and given MM new life in his quest to bring BB back from the dead.
I see what a difference Thomas makes when he is healthy and I know that Reed is our best big so gotta believe that we would have won 4-6 more games.
Billy's Boudin in Krotz Springs needs to be a patch.
The terrible coaching, IMO, is that we haven't developed good ball handlers or passers. We commit way too many TOs with stupid passes, or just losing the dribble. And God help us when we get really pressured. We look like the ball is a hot potato and no one wants it so let me hurry and pass to someone else And that often leads to a TO. We don't have anyone except Jada that can handle well enough underpressure. If Fulwiley can't split teh D and get to the rim she is a candidate for TO under pressure. And FJ4 bounces about 4' high and MW12 just doesn' t have a good handle. Love watching them when they are clicking but this has been a problem for 2-3 years.Gotta get lots better to make a SEC Tourney run or Elite 8

Not totally true. Thomas is that guy when he gets back to full health and conditioning. He sat around for over 2 weeks while hurt and is still not 100%. He is the only guy on the team that could play big minutes on any team in the SEC, Needs some more reliable help for sure.
He asked for the nearest Wal-Mart but guess he is too busy!

She will untimately beat us.



THRILLED to be dead wrong on this but we certainly gave her every chance to beat us. And we had no plan to negate Oldacre's size and strength. She got 16 rebs and 16 points and only paid 26 minutes.

Happy for the W but we have lots of work to do to be a contender, even in SEC
Terrible weak passing, panic when we are pressured, ballhandling like 12 year old non-AAU boys, weakest rim attacks ever, etc. They are not a good fundamental team. And why havent we attacked Booker every time we get the ball to get her fouled out? She will untimately beat us.

But how do these 2 teams only score a combined 55 points in the 1st half.
I'll tell you the refs let the game get totally out of control and swallowed their whistles like their pay would be docked for each foul called. They made up their mind they are "letting them play" and it turned into a freaking zoo.

Money is setting them up financially for the future. It’s really simple, you act like you wouldn’t play in Lubbock over Baton Rouge for 1 year for an extra $500k.


Bet you 8 out of 10 won't have $50k of that extra $500K 24 months after they sign. Tax at 40% (of course TX has no state income tax so that saves 6%). Dealing with athletes for 20 years in another field but they don't understand money, don't want to take advice from their advisors, and are typically all about showing the cash. And of course bragging about how much NIL they got. This has not been good for many, many student

He did a great job after the chaos caused by Lane and their AD.


What? Removing the basketball goal from the sideline?
Easiest job in the world if he has been paying attention to the HCs he has worked for in the past 20 years, especially Saban.
Paint Kiffen as the bad guy that deserted them in their best season in history
Put all the responsibility for their total season on them so they get super focused for the CFP; winning it all will show the world that it hasnt been LK that made this team but it is you, the players. So they have the responsibility and get the glory.
Keep saying "it's not about me or the coaches now" "it's the players"
And beg Lane to let Charlie Jr and some others stay because the "players deserve to have a fighting chance to win this thing"

Now, go get a haircut, a beard trim and a decent suit and start trying to sound like a HC instead of an analyst(oops, still cursed like a GA trying to act like an adult)
And then only stay in the game because Miami dropped 4 interceptions that would have taken points off the board and set up the Canes for more 13 play, time consuming drives against the fab D of Coach Pete!
Then let the methodical offense of Miami stay on the field for 88 plays and run up 457 yards of O and DOMINATE TOP 41 minutes to OM's 18. BTW, OM's offense did a good job of gaining 398 yards but were only 2-10 on 3rd downs while UM was 11-19 on 3rds and 2-2 on 4th downs.
Clearly, Miami won by beating Ole Miss' defense in every stat and that was the difference.
Lastly, if keith Carter doesn't admit to himself that Lane Kiffen would have made a difference of at least 5 points over the course of the game, then Carter was overpaying LK by about $ 8,000,000 per year and fans should demand a refund!
Pete said "A lot of people recruit based on tradition. We recruit based on trajectory.

"A lot of those places, they go show them Heisman trophies. They can go show them national championships.

"Nobody in that damn building won 'em."

Hey Pete: If you don’t have tradition or history of winning championships, you have to make up something else to talk about!
Programs with tradition can have trajectory too but the difference is we have already been to the apex & you haven’t!

No he can’t. Terribly inaccurate & constantly late

But we can’t hit him in stride either with 18 or 11 throwing.
Cause we are lame dumbasses who lose to mediocre teams
There will be a team that hires him, or at least interviews for the open job. Might only be a $4-5M/year job but that would still be a big savings.
What his dumb arse doesn't realize is that when he was introduced and if he and his father had been shown on the jumbo screen, there would have been a very loud and lengthy BOOOO issued from most Tiger fans. So by not allowing, or suggesting for BK not to attend, he saved himself, BK and his family a great deal of embarrassment.
His sister also is oblivious, evidently, to the amount of dislike that Tiger fans and probably all other Southerners have for the family which she exacerbates by her dumb, videos showing her doing such interesting things as covering up her acne with makeup, doing her hair, and showing the cheap looking sparkling clothing that she wears to games. I know that's a thing but not everyone finds it appropriate for the dgt of the HC to look like that. No hate except for BK not putting in the work and making good choices that would have returned LSU to contention for trophys.
I always make friends with the Concierge over a couple days and ask him/her "last time you went out with friends and your wife/SO, where did you go"
Haven't been led astray yet!
Best meal in Venice last time was at Il Nuestro Galleon. Waiter Sergio spoke almost no English. After we asked a few quesions he said, "you want seafood, beef, chicken, or lamb?' to each of us. Brought each of us a fabulous entree along with a few shareable apps. Awesome dinner !
if TUlane is better than the TIgers for two years in a row? Gives the Greenies something to brag about all off season and no ability to dispute the fact until LSU is back competing.

Hey, can we swap BK for Jon Summerall and they throw in the rights to negotiate for Darian Mensah?

No there will still be some azzz's that leave early. LSU should give away meaningul prizes right before end of game to only people in their seats. Or reroute all traffic that leaves in 3rd or early 4th quarter down Nicholson to I-110 and all the way to Zachary. And then let them come back south, or west or east!

If LSU wants to be known as a 1st class university with a Top 5 athletics program, LSU should always do a bonafide national search for key positions!! The current chaos at LSU demonstrates a complete lack of leadership!!


I have no idea what was lacking in President Tate's leadership that would cause Gov Landry to send him packing. So I can't have an informed decision on whether that move was merited or not. But I do feel that had Tate still been in place without limitations on his scope of decision making, he would have required a comprehensive national search for a new AD and football coach. Might have ended up with the exact same outcome but I think Tiger Nation would feel much more confident in both hires it that had been executed.
