How good did the Georgia defense look today against Florida? It wasn’t a shutout but it was awfully close.

It did bring me joy seeing a good spanking on the Gators. I'm open to that any weekend!

Yeah it was a rough one from my perspective. Hopefully at least it help finish Manny off.

Well, looks like some good will come of it. AD fired today. New AD will fire Manny and bring in a real coach.

GO BLUE! It was nice to see the Michigan Wolverines crush Ohio State for a change last Saturday. Good, fast action, high scoring game.

Transfer portal adding lots of names today.

If the stories are true, I have mixed feelings about hiring Kelly.

He is a good coach, but seems like such an odd match for LSU.

[kscarrol]

Don’t doubt him as a coach, agreed that I don’t think he’s the right fit.

I thought for sure they’d end up with Jimbo even with all the denials. That’s the right fit. Riley wasn’t right fit either.

LSU needs to stick with a coach and stop trying to compare them to Saban. They are eventually going to get the reputation that they churn through coaches if they keep getting rid of them after a down year.

Weren't the last two dismissed due to off-field issues?

Michigan had all seniors and OSU were playing mainly all freshman with a few seniors.

It took a 5th year senior Michigan team two years to prep to beat an OSU freshman team! lol lol

I was never high on Orgeron. He brings in recruits but his teams can't perform. Few more over-paid and over-rated coaches come to mind are Tucker and Franklin. Mel Tucker is riding a Heisman RB, I think Tucker's teams will begin to unravel starting next year.

Tucker's contract is insane, but at least it is funded by some alum donors.

Its a waste of money if they ever want to soon win a tough division as the B10 East.

saban left for the dolphins.

Les Miles was fired after a 2-2 start.

Coach O after a 3-3 start. 2 years after a national championship.

the problem is, LSU is not Alabama, and is not going to be in the CFP discussion every year. They are, in the current SEC alignment, a #2/3 Team in the SEC West behind Alabama. Playoffs are an overachievement and a national championship is a significant overachievement. Until Saban retires that is.

I thought Miles had off the field sexual harassment issues at LSU that got him fired, not just from LSU but then later from Kansas, where he landed after no one would hire him for a while after LSU. And there was an alleged rape (or rapes) that Coach O allegedly helped cover up. Losing made it easier to fire them, but I was under the impression those off field issues were the final nails in their coffins, more so than losses.

Yes, won't totally disagree with TheWatchGuy's comments but there were serious off the field issues which also contributed to Miles and O being let go.
