Next Year

Overall a crappy year. We didn't hold serve on the big three rivals this. year. Fla, Uga, and Bammer all manhandled us. And next year becomes a murderer's row. with Texas and Oklahoma coming in, and Mizzou has turned the corner. We're gonna have to step it up. We can't play Ky and Vandy every week.
Why do you think Mizzo has turned a corner?

Experience or not, Kelly isn't a great coach. He wasn't at ND and now he has stepped up in competition when looked at from a big picture perspective. His team is already loaded with talent. He has a Heisman QB and some great WRs. They actually have an elite O... and still can't win. Butch Jones was more or less a Kelly clone... or clown if you choose.

I'd come closer to predicting Kelly fired from LSU 3 years from now than winning the SEC.


Totally agree on Kelly not being that good of a coach.

Butch picked up a lot of his tendencies under Kelly and rode his coattails. Part of why I was never at any point a big fan of the hire.

I am excited for next year... The Defense is getting better each year with the DBs the only thing holding the unit back. Really hoping Martinez and some of these long standing DBs get lost. Front 7 will be loaded with 4-5 stars starting next year.

Offensive has should improve, losing Wright will hurt but Sampson should be a stud. QB / WR / TE unit will have a lot more talent. Oline is a concern that will need to be addressed in the Portal

I think TN will be competitive in 2025. Next year we could be starting a brand new 5 across the OL and DL will have to replace some players as well.
If he gets to be the starting QB for the Florida Gators, then good for him!

The transfer portal offers Nico a chance to start at QB for another team instead of sitting on the bench! If he does not start the Vandy game, then my point is well made!

No it's just as dumb now as it was in your original post. He knew coming into this year he was here to learn the offensive and get stronger. He has said that repeatedly. We can't help it if you don't know how to read.

Nico will go to the transfer portal. He knows he has a better future away from the Vols simply from the way he has been treated.
I firmly believe there are some posters who post the most drama-inducing, loser scenarios possible. I can't imagine living a life like that.

We will go thrash Vandy, and play in some mid level bowl and hopefully win so as to stay in the top 25. The Milton era is over and next year will be the first one where coach Heupel will have most of the team be kids that he recruited. Then we will see if he made good choices. If we are lucky, we might also get a few players from the portal. At this point, all of the woulda , coulda, shoulda, is moot.
Oh I wish it were that easy.

Couldn't disagree more about Kelly. He's a good coach. Coach O left him major locker room and culture issues. The inmates were running the asylum down there. He made more out of Notre Dame than anybody since Holtz. He's the best coach LSU has had since Saban and they'll be a contender, problem is, the SEC is so full contenders and teams with that potential that it's hard to find your way to the top. Still, I would expect LSU to be in the 12 team playoff more often than not with Kelly there.

Wow, we have seen some ridiculous posts lately but this is certainly one of the most ridiculous! Seriously, this is right up there with all of the “we should hand CJH his walking papers” sentiments.

What in the world make you think Nico has been treated so badly? Bc he wasn’t thrown to the wolves as a true freshman?

Well they shellacked us and they're 9-2. .Maybe it's just their QB play was the big factor,He's been a huge piece for them all year. Their defense improved. Maybe they caught lightning in a bottle like we did with Hooker. We'll have to wait and see if they sustain it next year.
