If you’re a booster and all you care about is winning, Brian Kelly definitely is the move that makes way more sense. Guy won a bunch of games at ND, although not in the playoffs. He has a proven record against other P5 teams. Tons of coaches have looked great in G5 and stumbled hard once they moved to P5. But I’m glad LSU fell flat on their face yesterday. Here’s hoping they do that a few more times.

LSU passing on Napier because he was G5 is really dumb, but I’m very ok with it. Kelly has been a distasteful rear end in a top hat his entire career. He will ultimately be fine but he is what he is and has a long track record of just that.

Obviously I hope we win but I don’t see any path to that. The most optimistic version I can imagine is that we just manage to get something going against Bama at some point and this game becomes an inflection point of buy-in, team jelling, whatever. Both a lesson in humility because however good you think you are Bama is on this whole other level and also a demonstration that when everyone does their part and does it right it can work even against Bama. And if going out there and executing at a high level means we can make plays even against Bama, there’s nobody on our remaining schedule we can’t beat if we do that. But lol who am I kidding we’re going to get rolled by bama and then lose to a UTSA team coached by a former Charlie Strong assistant and everyone is going to be injured or checked out from then on.

South Carolina was whatever. The offense looked janky and the o-line might be hot trash again. Defense was dominant outside of 2 long runs, more or less. Georgia State is a pretty decent football team, and they obviously wanted the upset bad, they just got worn out as the game went on. If the o-line issues can be cleaned up this week, a banged up Arkansas team could be beatable, but if not then it's going to be a long season offensively. Rattler made some poor decisions, but drat he's got a cannon. If he gets more comfortable in the offense, he could be dangerous. But forget about all that poo poo, because we got 2 blocked punts for touchdowns, beamerball is back baby!!!!

THIS_IS_FINE posted:I know it's just Kent State but watching the Huskies move the ball well and look like they have some life in them in contrast to the past few years with Jimmy Lake was so satisfying. I don't see how anyone could beat out Penix as the starter so I'm wondering if Huard transfers out or if he's ok sitting for the next season. Yeah Penix was always really good for us when he was playing, way better than the Mizzou transfer we have now looked in his first game. It's just that Penix never finished a season in 4 years of playing here. Also, I like LSU but hate Brian Kelly, so I support people dunking on him already. That halftime comment about, "maybe we can play worse, idk, I just work here hurrrrrrrrr" was really loving dumb.

I need to catch up with all the news on cfp expansion but as I read it, only the first round is on campus, correct? Doesn't that kind of suck for the teams that get the bye since it means their schools are going to lose out on an extra home game, the revenue that brings, etc?

I need to go check some more of the game but saw former Duck Geoff Schwartz crunching a little bit of film on Twitter and feeling a bit better and that “Georgia is really loving good” is likely the main point from that game. Still frustrating to go get the brakes beat off of you, but I’m not completely out on the season. This was always a likely outcome. dirty shrimp money posted:btw hear me out on this one…El Penix

Ornery and Hornery posted:Why did LSU move on from Orgeron a mere 2 years after winning it all? If you have an athletic sub this is a good rundown. If you don't the short story is he spent two years going .500 after winning that national title which is unacceptable at LSU (and honestly yeah maybe it should be for that type of program). And he also got divorced and stuff like this happened: quote:It created messes for him, like the time Orgeron pulled up to a woman at a gas station wearing exercise attire. “Hey, you look like you work out,” he said, according to multiple sources. “We could work out together.” The woman informed Orgeron she was married, to which he responded, “Why does that matter?” And there were...a few Title 9 investigations about sexual assault going on at the time, mostly around Derrius Guice. Some of this happened during Les Miles time but Ed O just pshawed a woman away who claimed to have been raped by Guice and...well. You don't get to do all that and also hit on some exec or booster's wife basically. I think in reality he just lost too much or he'd still be there, but there was more than enough reason he left on the table to get rid of him?

And there’s the story about him basically sidelining actual practice to let the kids of the women he was loving come play around on the field. Without the off the field stuff he might have gotten another year even with the terrible record, but without the off the field stuff the record probably would have been better anyway.

South Carolina did its typical choke-on-a-cupcake-in-Week-1 thing, but put on an absolutely incredible display of BeamerBall to put Georgia State away. Spencer Rattler is clearly the most talented quarterback we've had maybe ever, but our offensive coordinator still should have been fired last year and I'm not seeing anything from our scheme so far to dissuade me from that notion. Should be an interesting year.

The big news this weekend for TTU is that the air raid has made its return. It was fantastic to see the offense humming like it was, albeit against a completely overmatched FCS opponent. They could do whatever they wanted and watching Tech was fun again. The bad news for Tech was that starting QB Tyler Shough went down with a left shoulder injury after a QB draw. While it was not his throwing arm, he was in enough pain that it completely threw off his accuracy. Early word is that he'll be out 2-6 weeks. I feel bad for him, as the replacement is the "QB of the future" type in RS So Donovan Smith. If Tech is 3-0 by the first week that Shough can come back (to play UT), there's going to be a substantial QB controversy and it's going to be hard to sit Smith if he's playing well. Smith started the last 4 games of the season last year, getting us to a bowl. He's not able to attack the middle of the field like Shough is, but he's a beast of a QB at 6'5", 230 lbs, and many felt that he should have been the starter anyway. Tech defense showed some weakness in the secondary, but won more than they lost in the passing game. The defensive gameplan was to put the DB's on an island, and held Murray State to 50% passing in the first half before Murray St's QB went down with a gruesome non-contact injury, and held the backup to 1/7 for 1 yard in the 2nd half. It was an FCS school, but after SFA and HBU the last 2 seasons, I'm allowing myself a hint of optimism for the new coaching staff, and think that we may have a decent shot of beating Houston and NC State.

Coach O is also still an LSU employee and has to make at least one public appearance for the school every year. Not sure exactly when that ends, but it's for a few years at least. The theory I've heard is it has to do with legal liability for LSU, and somehow keeping him as an employee protects the school in some way. No idea if that's true, but I could see it. https://www.wafb.com/2021/10/19/breaking-down-details-behind-separation-agreement-between-lsu-coach-o/

If I remember Godfrey's reasoning correctly, LSU came up with a very simple hoop for him to jump through for the next few years so anything salacious could be seen as insubordination and fired for cause instead of the usual structured payout.
