The Baylor opening

[Professor]

Do people really believe Bebe wouldn't hire Ron Roberts from "lowly ULL"? If you do, you're living in the past.

The Roberts' love living here and Ron is happy. I'm not worried about Coach Roberts leaving. As much as anyone else on the staff, he knows we're on the brink of something incredible here.

Are you implying that Roberts would pass on the LSU dc job if offered?

Some of you are so obsessed you can’t process correctly.

LSU’s football program is not a sinking ship. Will they take a step back from this NC season? Sure.

They’ll still be in play for Top 10 ranking by the end of next season.

I agree. One thing Orgeron did when he got to LSU was to convince the AD for the need to hire a number of additional "analyst". This is the same thing that Saban and Dabo did and everyone is trying to copy including the Cajuns.

He just happens to have done it better than anyone else. You can pick on the man all you want but it is pretty obvious that he knows how to put together a team of coaches, players, and analyst and then get out of their way to make it all work.

This isn't the LSU of old and while a Joe Burrow doesn't come along often I also don't expect to face plant.

None of which means a hill of beans to us. I'd even argue (like others have) that their success opens up the possibility to get some Louisiana talent that we would have missed out on in previous years.

I don't think he would turn down that opportunity.

Tigers have had 4th most players drafted since 2000, they won’t face plant, talent has never been there problem.

Agreed, but if they go, say 9-3, many 'lovers' and 'haters' of LSU will claim that as a face plant. Losing to Alabama would be explainable, losing to Florida away is explainable (especially if they win the SEC East). But losing at home early to Texas, or at Auburn or at TAMU is a whole different story.

[RaginDave]

Has anyone looked at there out of conference schedule. They have 4 automatic wins next year.

Texas
Nichollls
UTSA
Rice

They just visited Trump and all he does is win, so they should be ok.

68 in the last 10 years out of 250 naturalized 4 and 5 star recruits still makes them one of the biggest talent graveyards in the country.

That, or it shows just how (in)accurate those who bestow stars might be. You know, the ones that give a kid a 4 star when he signs with a good P5 but a 3 star when that same player signs with a G5.
