Simple LSU vs. UT comparrision

If you look at ALL of Tennessee's Championships you will see we never win them often since 1951.The first 2, 1938 & 1940, were 2 years apart. The next one, 1950, was 10 years later. Then they won another one in 1951. The next one was 1967, 16 years later and then another 31 years to the 1998 championship. Nothing really consistent since 1951, 74 years later.

Another comparison is the way both LSU and Tenn react to losing to Vandy. Face it, losing to Vandy is why Kelly got fired...it was the final straw. And losing to Vandy got the fans talking about CJH being replaced as well. Vandy needs to stop winning games because there's only so many Lane Kiffins to go around

The A&M debacle really was what did it. Aggies took over Tiger Stadium like Volnation did in the 3rd & 4th qtr. it was the annual game that the LSU Board of Supervisors attended together & they had to sit thru that.

The salt on the wound was Kelly fired the long time S&C coach Tommy Moffit who Ecko hired. Aggies physically abused LSU the 2nd half.

LSU has won 3 National Championships since 2003. Tennessee hasn't won one in 27 years. Kelly took over a program loaded with talent and did nothing. Heupel took over a dumpster fire after a decade of misery and is building it. Kelly made 0 CFP appearances. Heupel has made 1 with a worse starting point.

We did not have the depth of the teams y'all are trying to compare us to. We haven't had a 5 star sitting on the bench to plug and play after the other 5 star gets drafted.

We have to stop remembering where this program “was” and comparing every day of our lives to those **** years. To call year 5 a “rebuild” is just baffling and nothing more than a cope.

I agree that Heup is here for a few more years, but this year was blatant regression. No way around it. I also think downplaying LSU and the hire is silly. I could be wrong, but if I had to bet on LSU either making the playoffs or not making them in year 1 with Kiffin I’d put my money on “making”. They have the talent and the resources and they’ve shown they’re serious about it.

And that’s why Kelly fired - they are loaded with talent, yet underachieved.

We could look way further into it but I just find it interesting how LSU fired their coach mid season, felt like the program was in shambles, made major moves throughout their athletic department, the governor of LA was involved, and on and on and on, finished it all up with the most talked about coaching hire this year in CFB....AND...they were only 1 loss worse than us in both overall record and in conference.

They also played Vandy closer than we did (they lost by 7 ON THE ROAD, we lost by 21 at HOME) and Oklahoma (they lost by 4 ON THE ROAD with an interim head coach, we lost by 6 at HOME with Heupel). They played Alabama 6 points closer as well.

I've never had a problem with Heupel but it kind of makes you question who was worse off this year....AND think maybe it's time for Heupel to get it done next year with at least a decent run in the CFP. I will never EXPECT a NC....but I do think it's time for at least another CFP birth and a win or two in the CFP with all the resources and support this staff has been given for so many years.

Why stop there? LSU beat Arkansas by 1, we beat them by 3. LSU beat Florida by 10 at HOME, we beat Florida by 20 on the ROAD and basically beat them into submission by halftime. If only there was a more accurate way to compare the two programs over the last four years since Brian Kelly was hired like, I don't know, maybe us beating LSU on the ROAD by 27 in 2022? Or perhaps the fact that Brian Kelly was brought into a program loaded with talent in a recruiting rich area with the intent of winning a national championship and had a record of 34-14 while Josh Heupel was brought in to resurrect a program gutted by sanctions and losing most of their best players and has a record of 45-19. During The same timeframe that Brian Kelly was at LSU, Josh Heupel's record was 36-11.
