LONG POST: Lane Kiffin and Charlie Weis Jr.’s biggest problem with #LSU was evaluating and bringing in the wrong QB. That’s really it — because that decision has created a snowball effect and has made them coach differently than they have in the past, namely the 4th down decision against Kentucky. They don’t trust him…and rightfully so, in the biggest moments of the season, Sam Leavitt has done nothing but show that he doesn’t deserve their trust. Lane publicly showing that he chased Sam to the airport + the big financial investment they have in him + Husan Longstreet and Landen Clark clearly not being ready for a full-time role have all created a mess for the Tigers and that’s problem number one. We won’t get into the Blake Baker stuff, because I’ve made that point very clearly known on here — he’s quite literally never once been the reason LSU has won a big game, but I digress. But Lane’s biggest issue was picking the wrong QB — plain and simple, and that issue has caused a ripple effect throughout the entire team. Also — the fact that Lane brought in SEVENTY new players is being quickly forgotten…especially when you’re playing a nine-game #SEC schedule, seven of which were/are against teams that were ranked at the time of the game, three of which were/are against teams ranked inside of the top-10 at the time of the game, two of which were/are against teams ranked inside of the top-five at the time of the game. I don’t want to hear about the $40 million number — because what elite/top-tier program would not need to spend $40 million while replacing SEVENTY new players? Use your brains. Brian Kelly left the program in one of the worst states it ever has been, from the roster to the financials of it to the fan-base never being more out on a team in several decades and maybe ever. Yesterday was awful, so was the Kentucky and Ole Miss games…but it’s been 9+ months in what needed to be a MAJOR cleaning out and rebuild…you don’t become an SEC or National Champion in one-year…relax.
