LSU is in a position where they may have enough talent and money to hire a respectable NFL coach that just wants to chill. I’ve heard names like Jeff Fischer thrown around, and I think it comes down to what you want.
an established veteran or a more motivated young up and comer. Which is more of a flight risk which is more of a power struggle type thing.
They’ll have options and talent.
I'm still enjoying the moments of this past season. And while I've never been much on the "greatest team" debate, there is no denying that what LSU did this year was truly special.
Mike Greenberg recently put it into perspective and it's almost impossible to argue.
I know the game has changed over the years. And there have been some truly remarkable teams in year's past (that 2001 Canes team still has the most impressive roster ever seen. It's a wonder some of their games were as close as they were). But I'm not sure we'll see something like what the 2019 LSU team did again anytime soon.
- The greatest single season by a QB ever, breaking nearly every individual record out there.
- A clean sweep of almost every major award, including the Heisman.
- Went 7-0 vs Top 10 teams (unprecedented), 4-0 vs Top 5 teams (first time in about 50 years), and 4-0 vs Preseason Top 4 teams (also unprecedented).
- Not once did they ever trail in the 4th quarter of any game this season. That's never been done before either.
- Only one time in the entire 2019 season did they ever trail by double digits and that was in the NC game vs Clemson. They then went on to outscore them 35-8 the rest of the way.
- And the real testament to any argument that this was the greatest season ever is this - Clemson, Oklahoma, Georgia, Alabama and Florida went a combined 60-4 against the rest of the country. LSU beat them all by an average of almost 20 points.
I mean he played the full season before and was mediocre.It's too bad Burrow really only got one year to shine, could have put up one of the greatest dynasties of all time

Wow! That's almost too unbelievable to think Bama has never had any player score a single point in any Super Bowl ever. Crazy stuff.
I see LSU has 20 points but I'd have to think about where those points might've come from.
Kickers are a lot of the points. Like I went through the SB the Bucs played in and Martin Gramatica has 12 of K State's 24 points in that game.
I was curious if this held true for LSU so I looked it up on Pro Football Reference. Turns out RB Joseph Addai had one rushing TD for the Colts in the 2009 SB vs the Saints, WR Brandon Lafell caught a TD for the Pats vs the Seahawks in 2014 and QB David Woodley threw a TD back in 1982 for the Dolphins against the Redskins. So that's 18 of the 20.
I'm worried about the Irish this year. They lost their three top receivers, Claypool hurts the most, and there don't seem to be any receivers waiting in the wings. I'm glad Book is back for another season, but it could be a rough year on the offense side of the ball.
