  1. USNWR national rankings are for clowns. Their program specific rankings are decent enough and their global rankings are fine, but their national ones are a joke. Also, being a public school with a large enrollment may preclude selectivity, but it sure as hell doesn't preclude excellence. We train great graduates and more importantly pump out elite research. Edsger Djikstra (a former Texas CS professor before he passed away) generated more important research than USC and ND combined over their respective lifetimes (only a slight exaggeration). ND and USC are decent undergrad institutions who have their relative greatness artificially inflated by USNWR's private school bias. Like do you seriously expect me to believe that the school that has accounted for the 3rd most Nobel Prizes in the world and 2nd in the US, only behind Harvard, is somehow a lesser institution than Notre Dame or Vanderbilt?
  2. Dabo Swinney. It's rare but it happens.
  3. I thought that's who he was talking about because I saw Utah mentioned. Now I know he is talking about Burns
  4. Good. No reason to play with spinal stenosis if you can get a great degree. There are many things that matter more than football.
  5. He chose us because his head coach basically told him Orlando was the best thing since sliced bread. They knew each other back when Orlando was at Utah State iirc.
  6. Holy shit. Good for him though if he knows he needs to recharge and is willing to take the time off for himself.
  7. Dabo Swinney?
  8. Broughton seems solid at least.
  9. That being said he likes to run heavy out of the air raid which likely makes it more palatable to him.
  10. That's fucking asinine. You give up when you're down 21 in the 4th quarter if you don't want to be there. You don't score 14 and go for the onside kick against a team that's gone into clock running mode if you don't want to be there. The answer is simple. SEC style offense (aka not what LSU does now) is easily countered by Orlando's defense and our offense is incredible when given a month to pick out an opposing defenses on a year's worth of film. Herman is great in bowl games because he's a great Xs & Os type coach. When Orlando doesn't have to account for a mobile QB, his lack of speed and talent in his LB unit here is hidden and his defense creates huge advantages by stopping the run with fewer people, which allows him to drop more into coverage, vary looks, and generate pressure with safety blitzes that the OL isn't ready for. If you have an immobile QB against Orlando, you're done for. We saw that against Mizzou and we saw that against Georgia, both of whom were the best offense in the SEC outside of Alabama in the years we played them. If he goes to a halfway talented SEC team, he's going to dominate everyone besides Alabama and LSU. If he goes to Wisconsin or Michigan he will every game besides Ohio State. If he goes to the Pac-12 he'll probably win every game because the Pac-12 is terrible.
  11. What LSU structure? We were laughing our asses off at them literally this time last year when they lost to aggy and the year before lost to a fucking Sun Belt team. The LSU offensive structure that turned OBJ and a bunch of other elite, future Pro Bowl WRs plus a litany of first round RBs into an offense that couldn't crack the top 50? Jesus Christ due, get a grip on reality. He went into a shithole of offensive mediocrity and turned it into the best offense in the country in an offseason. Yes, he could very well crash and burn if he came here. It's possible LSU's talent plus his mind were perfectly made for each other and he can't succeed with what he have here or his scheme can be found out and he can't respond. I doubt it. I think Harrell is still the better pick but this dude is an offensive wunderkind and we've seen enough, small sample size notwithstanding, to know he is good.
  12. Even worse, Dabo fired his shitty OC heading into his 4th season and his shitty DC heading into his 5th having won nothing of note at that point, showing no promise (7-6,9-5, 6-7) and being a poor Xs&Os coach. At least wait and see the hires before you get mad.
  13. Oh baby if we get my #1 choice I'd be so happy.
  14. I wonder if any consideration will go to Kellen Moore for OC? Love the mind of Boise State guys and he did wonders for the Dallas offense. Not to mention he was the winningest college QB ever which I'm sure some high school kid could be convinced is something very impressive and important.
  15. No they didn't. Strong had nothing to do with the QB. Whether Bridgewater succeeded or not could be put on their OC or on Bridgewater himself depending on how he achieved his success. Can't say the same about Brady and Burrow
  16. It's like office space. We thought we got rid of him. We don't pay him any more either but he still comes into work.
  17. Joe Burrow was an inaccurate, unfeared quarterback last year and now he's a Heisman winner and likely the first QB in the draft. While I have Graham as my preferred choice, Burrow didn't make Brady, it's the other way around.
  18. He is the de facto OC. While Ensminger has the title Brady does the job and that is well known.
  19. DING DONG THE BITCH ASS WR COACH IS GONE
  20. I’ll let it slide if he wins us some national titles
  21. If Ash is the replacement I'd rather keep Orlando. I'm hoping this firing timing means we got Odom
  22. I'm fine with this...but why aren't Meh, Warehime, Beck, and Meekins reported first? Did we just get Barry Odom?
  23. Let me be clear if we hired improvements I wouldn't shed a tear for any of them.
  24. Only if you look at total yards or other worthless metrics. If you look at advanced stats you find that we started good on defense and ended well while being mediocre but not terrible (with the exception of Kansas) in the middle. The fact that that middle coincided with injuries concentrated enough to force us to play a walk on RB at safety is probably enough to buy everyone there a mulligan. I think we do need to assign an extra assistant there to balance the distribution of position coaches.
