I don’t usually post in mid week — such are the dangers of sobriety- but here’s the question. This season - Shit storm on ice — no legit off season nor August , and yes a bit of a natty hangover — all fine and good BUT In this prestigious body of experts’ opinion how long does Baby Huey really have to right this ship? I say 2 years . Discuss among yourselves
I think next season is critical. If 2021 is a normal 12 game schedule and LSU doesn’t win at least 8 of those games, then the hot seat will be cracked up to the max in 2022. If it’s another 3 win season next year, then he’s gone.
This yr is a write-off for all the reasons listed above by “The Don”. Your 8 game min for next yr sounds about right. A losing or breakeven season next year would be career ending. Winning only 7 very iffy. I think he would have to win a min 10 in 2022 to keep his job.
I say he gone by February if the allegations about him are true with him knowing about the rape allegations.
8 wins would be pushing it IMO. It would depend on who the losses were to and by how much. Losing to Alabama and maybe Florida could be survivable depending on the margin. I can’t see losing to Auburn Ole Miss or A&M acceptable. Another factor is the nature of the losses. Again margin, poor effort, bad play, lack of organization etcetera isn’t acceptable. Finally who he hires and how he recruits are signs of his recovery from this year. I thought he was building something special and was focused on doing the right thing. However his actions in his personal life, the apparent lazy hires and lack of focus this year gives lie to that. Hate to say it but if I don’t see a return to the focus, effort and determination he showed up through the end of last year I wouldn’t be opposed to cutting bait even with an 8-4 record.
I just posted in the other thread, that with some good hires at OC and DC with considerable improvement in play he should get a reprieve for a couple years. Providing the off the field stuff does not cause him to be a martyr.
I think the pain has only just begun, to be honest. Losing games in the fall is nothing compared to what this offseason will look like. I think the chickens are coming home to roost.....A whole new staff next year and probably lots of scholarships lost. Think Penn St....
Me either @kcal but this may be the road we have to take. He surprised the hell out of me winning it all last year and getting us another Heisman so maybe there is a silver lining. I think the success of last year brought some of his old habits back which we are seeing in this team. Maybe it will be brief and he will make some good hires.
