Loved Freeman working the refs and getting a sideline warning. Especially when they threw 2 phantom PIs in a row and bs non late hit on Pyne.
Shows his team he's still fighting. And in turn they will fight for their Coach. That's how leaders lead, fighting for one another

Will be interesting to see if any new recruits are closed. Hopefully Peyton Bowen sticks

Just for reference, here's a few posts on an Alabama forum:

Saban gets one more year

If next year is as shitty as this one is, he needs to step down.

If next year looks like this year, Byrne needs to have a serious conversation with Saban at the very least

Agree. If Saban doesn’t make some significant coordinator changes then he is no better than Shula at that point, not being able to recognize problems in the program.

Give me Lane or give me death.

Hell yeah!
Get in their ear now! Command their respect and reap the rewards in the future.
Freeman is learning at warp speed.

I posted this in the Kelly thread, but it might be better suited here.




Kelly is a GREAT coach that got very lazy here. He found out quickly just how hard he had to work to keep the very top kids in the fold (even after they got on campus) and decided his golf game was more important.

I'm thankful he came here and rebuilt the program. I got very comfortable with the security blanket of Kelly's 9-11 wins every year even though we got beat down every time we faced one of the big 3. Truth be told, I probably would've been fine with him staying.

But watching that team last night. Just completely dismantle a top 4 undefeated Dabo team LOADED with Sunday talent has me thinking bigger. Marcus has found a way to get this team up for the big boys. If he had anything at the QB position he beats OSU in the Shoe and we're ranked number 1 with two top 4 wins this year.

It took half a year for Tommy and Harry to get the line rolling like the 90's Cowboys, but it's happening. With the talent in the pipeline and the experience coming back, I expect they hit the ground running next year and continue to roll for the foreseeable future. Last night proved something: Marcus CAN coach at this level. His program and philosophies are working and once he infuses this program with the talent he's shooting for... watch out!

Kelly is a GREAT coach, but he wasn't GREAT here. He was lazy.
I have no doubt that our record would be almost exactly like it is now, but with losses to Clemson and OSU not Marshall and Stanford.

I'll take the high highs and the lowest lows now because it's going to lead to the ultimate highs in the future.

Much like the people acting like BK is a messiah for resurrecting a team that literally just went 15-0 two years ago.

I guess you understand what taking over a team with just 38 scholarships is like? Was LSU ranked Pre-season?

I am happy for BK and for MF. They both have found their respective homes. It was a great night last night.

Dude you are so tiring. The 38 scholarship thing isn't even true. That's a snapshot of their roster in the bowl game last year, before BK even arrived, and a lot of players were removed due to academic suspensions. LSU had 52 returning scholarships when he arrived and the 2022 class had 13 recruits sign LOIs, then they went to the transfer portal and got 12 more. He's got 77 scholarship players, stop making shit up.

Freeman goes for a high five and a pasty white dude closes the hand and pulls him close.

"Excuse me Coach Freeman while I have you here, we at Irishenvy.com have some concerns about the organization of our QB recruiting..."
Nah, I wouldn’t waste his time like that. I was asking him if he adds cognac to his coq au vin

Man they deserve nothing more than to return to the 6-6 pit from whence they came

I think Kelly has found a great spot, and good on him. I don't like the man but we need to move forward and realize we have who we need also. MF is learning and may make mistakes along the way but he can and I believe will bring us to where we deserve to be. BK had to go, it was time.

Kelly is a solid coach. My only complaints with him at ND were his laziness on the recruiting trail and the lack of creativity/nepotism hires on the Offensive side of the ball.

Don't be so angry. I didn't make "shit up"

That’s why, when Kelly came to Baton Rouge, the main focus was overhauling a roster with 39-scholarship players. That’s when he hit the portal and added 15 transfers, signed a top-10 recruiting class with heavy ties to Louisiana, and addressed immediate needs in short order.

Still too stoic. No fire, heart, passion.

That website is wrong. As I explained above, that was their scholarship players available for the bowl game, not scholarship players.


"With 52 scholarship players returning, the new staff was then able to build out the roster through high school signees and transfer portal additions."

He never came into a program with 38 scholarships. You're wrong. Get bent.

I am not wrong at all. My source is the LSU's Athletics' website. He had 38 players on the roster - players had left the program as it was in disarray. Others had given notice they were moving on and he recruited them back and convinced them to stay - per the 247's article. Whatever. BK anger still exists. I am happy for both coaches.
