LGT Final: Louisiana 34, Coastal Carolina 24

The CFP slot is 100% a realistic goal......... ... we have a better shot of making the CFP than 40 P5 programs.

And a better shot than a number of P5 schools as well.

The CFP slot is 100% a realistic goal. In fact in this new landscape it’s easier than it’s ever been. A “bowl game” is just a step in the path to where this program can be.

Once this stadium is 100% complete in 2027 we will be the crown jewel of the SBC and nearly every other G5 league.

We completely underachieved last season, losing way too many close games. Still made a bowl game. This ain’t the program I was a walk-on at. We had a rebirth with T-Joe and Bustle.

Want to grow the fan base, have LaTurd and Tulane on the schedule more often. Play in and WIN the SBC Championship damn near every year. Make the CFP as the G5 rep a couple of times. The base will grow. It’s all completely in our grasp.

No, we don’t have a shot at winning a National Title. Not unless one of y’all are Elon rich and NIL goes to $15M a year for just football. But we have a better shot of making the CFP than 40 P5 programs.

Playoff spot is absolutely an achievable goal. And given our position financially, if a coach like CMD can reach his potential that is our best shot. Someone who bleeds UL Vermillion, and wants to build something. Hopefully as the big boys get nervous about the constant transfers some normalcy will return and we can hold on to at least a few of the diamonds in the rough we seem to be good at finding.

I’m encouraged by the progress coach seems to have made. If he can find a game changer QB and a few DL like Zion Hill I believe we can make a run at the playoffs in bet the next few years.

We are 6-1 for only the 6th time since 1938…enjoy it.

DL does need some size and help.

But if we just tackled a little better we would be killing people now.

Assuming we are still in the SunBelt and that the SunBelt hasn't been picked clean in some expansion by 2027

Nah we will be here. When the new contract for the CFP comes up we will see a seismic shift in the upper echelon of the most valuable 50ish brands.

The rest will be in a new division. We will be with some really good programs and be better for it.

No disagreement from me on tackling. If we even tackled at an average level we would be 7-0 with larger victory margins.

So now you're a believer.

Huh?

Not sure what you mean. I had doubts at first but I’ve kept that to myself. Glad I did as he has grown into the position tremendously.
