I hope LSU hires Golesh, Kiffin stays put, and the Gata are left having to hire another Sunbelt Billy that keeps them in the wilderness.

I've enjoyed following that coaching search sinfully much. They are ready to revolt if it is anyone other than Kiffin. Fans attack anyone who suggests anyone who isn't Kiffin. All over Twitter, on all the boards.

I think this is in large part aggravated because this was supposed to be THE year for Kelly’s LSU. Instead, they are a low middling SEC team at best.

As a coach, you have to always be working to avoid "This is THE year" conversations.

Dooley did it. Butch did it. Napier, Freeze, and Kelly all did it this year and all will be fired.

Heupel in his first year refused to embrace the idea that we were rebuilding. And the thing is, if you never call it a rebuild, you never have to declare that the rebuild is over.

Build a team that can compete for championships every year. Even if you can't, you should always frame the conversation like that as an SEC head coach.

I get the feeling he’s getting fed up with Tim banks but throws some positives in there to lighten it up some but very outspoken this time around since he’s been here in my opinion on one side of the ball..could be me though

First time seeing anything from the press conference.

I'd almost rather him say "we've got scheme problems and we're gonna make some major changes"

If you're gonna have serious problems going into November, you'd rather them not be "fundamental" problems.

Cam Ward is regressing
I have been a dedicated Titan fan since their move, but not sure I can watch anymore. Horrible football.

Because the coaching is atrocious.

He needs to get this year over as quickly as possible and stay healthy. Hopefully the next coaches can deprogram whatever the hell Callahan did to him.

Re: Boo. At this point I really don’t care if he leaves. He’s not worth the drama that accompanies him.

I hope he does end up at Colorado btw. Deion has that team rolling 🤣💩

Some fans are really short sighted. Banks has been a bust this year and a liability, but after last season NOBODY wanted him fired and many were concerned we might lose him as a head coach elsewhere. We had an elite defense last year, what was Heupel supposed to do, see the future (this year) and fire him? The guy that just fielded one of our best defenses? All camp I kept hearing the defense was way ahead of the offense as well. Heupel is probably just as shocked and disgusted as the fans. You can't fire him at this point in the season because you are still fighting for a playoff spot and atleast you know what to expect from Banks compred to an unknown with whoever would take over. You let it play out and adjust in the offseason. I've seen a lot of growth with Heupel these last few years. He completely revamped the offense this year. When he first got here he couldn't run clock to save his life and it cost us games but he has since adjusted. I feel like he will get us a championship at some point, just gotta be patient. He has a monster recruiting class coming in and will find the right guy for the defensive side of the ball.

I used to defend him but being shortsighted might be looking at last year instead of the body of work.

Has anyone heard how @UTProf Is doing? They have not posted since early October. Hoping things have gotten better for them.

I am ok. Thank you for thinking about me. I've just been down. Halloween was when we always celebrated having made it another year and the closer it gets the more it kinda levels me. We geared everything towards it and one of the last things he said to me when he was still in his right mind was "I'm not going to make it to Halloween am I?" I told him he would and at the time I believed he'd still be here even though I knew things were starting to change in ways that felt dire. I know the last thing I should be doing is withdrawing from social contact right now but knowing and doing are separate things.

I need to figure out some fun things I can do to get me out of the house and maybe something I can do at home for Halloween that will take my mind off everything. A few days ago (the 22nd) marked 2 months and I think I'm in the phase where it gets harder before it starts to get easier. Distractions are my best friend right now.
