But, for $12 MM, you need to learn how to act like you like it. Even most possum haters can do that.

Giff Smith was the Recruiting Coordinator.
He could have had more.I just read $12MM/Year for Kelly at LSU. We cannot compete in this arms race.

Yeah the SEC West is tough but if you want to win it all you likely gotta beat whoever comes out of it and at lsu you can be that team. And each of LSU's last 3 coaches has won a natty. How many coaches ago was it that Notre Dame won one? It's definitely possible at notre dame but i think much more likely at lsuI disagree. The SEC west is murderers’ row. You can recruit at ND, keep your players healthy playing a balanced schedule, & get preference many times from playoff committee. I know he didn’t win one at ND, but it can be done. I still think at 60, the 12 million & warm weather were the biggest reasons he went.
I mean I believe that we have more money, but does that mean we are going to simply spend more than we are now, or actually compete with those schools in spending?I hear you but sooner or later we have to put up the money, otherwise we will have to step down a division. That’s the new landscape. And TStan claims we have the money to do that unless you don’t believe him.

remember when O'leary lied to hopefully get to N. Dame? What lie could we tell that would get Notre Dame to take Collins?
But it’ll be year zero again so Ws and Ls won’t count right ? SMHWe will be better next year. Why? It’s statistically impossible to be worse. Sure, we lost Gibbs. And we may lose others. I don’t know. What I do know is that anyone would be an improvement over our last OC and DC. And our OLine play can’t be worse. And our QB play can’t be worse. And our defense can’t be worse. Look at the numbers. We will be better next season. Our coach will still be let go because he is a lame duck, but as a football team we’ll be better.
Lol and Nick Saban probably had three other 5 start RB's behind him getting blocked for by a stable of 5 star linemen that he recruited there. Funny we don't have any of those 5 star anythings even though this staff claimed it would be easier to recruit here than at Bama (won't forget that).Sure it is sad, but Nick Saban lost a player named Alvin Kamara. It is one player.
Wish everyone would stop comparing CGC to Frank Beamer, Bill Belichick, coach Ross or anyone else like that. CGC is not having a rough start like them, nor will he ever sniff their level of success so please stop.Let’s not forget that Bear almost lost his job in 1969 and 1970 and just before he did retire. The deep pocket alumni said he was out of touch and time had passed him by. Instead he secretly met with Darryl Royal to learn a new offensive system. Adaptation and willingness to admit you are fallible is key to growth. Let us hope that GC is that kind of guy. If you are afraid of being fired in any job, you will be less effective.

Never heard that until he was hired.I am aware. Up until CGC was hired he was generally credited as being the architect of the 2007 class. History was rewritten after CGC was hired to say Collins was responsible for that class.
Apologies for the typo in his name.
Good post.Man, I often think about all the "what ifs" with O'Leary and ND.
What if ND called a year sooner? Ralph Friedgen most likely becomes our HC and never takes the Maryland job. IMO, Ralph was the better coach over O'Leary. O'Leary didn't have the 9+ win seasons at GT until Friedgen came back as our OC in 1997. When he left to take over a pitiful Maryland, he quickly won 10+ games his first 3 years, and had a 75-50 overall record at Maryland before the AD lost his mind fired Friedgen in 2010 (Ralph was 9-4 that year when he was fired). There was a lot of rumbling that Friedgen should have been credited with all the success that O'Leary got...if you remember, our offense was the star of the show the years Friedgen was OC for O'Leary.
We most certainly miss out on the Gailey and CPJ years. Friedgen probably would have been our coach for 5-10 years.
Events of college football are so weird...a lot of it is timing.
