And great recruiting. One national championship with crappy recruiting. It is not even close.

They have had so much talent over the years even Les Miles won a championship there.
From what I understand LSU rules Texas recruiting which is why UT and A&M are where they find themselves.

With sweeping players sexual abuse allegations under the rug and with Coach O’s personal life. Hitting on the wrong women (married); bringing girlfriends to practice, etc. I don’t think he was making wise choices and was a disaster in the making. Although, I don’t care for Dabo Swinney, he doesn’t have any of these problems that I know of.

He’s about as Christian as Donnie Trump, meaning just religious enough to get people to trust him.

Clemson doesn’t have a very good offense so not surprised they are struggling in ACC play.

It turns out she wasn't pregnant, as The Athletic initially reported, but...

“That woman was the wife of a high-ranking LSU official. Word of this reached the LSU Board of Supervisors, the collection of prominent Louisiana attorneys and business owners appointed by the governor who make the most important decisions at LSU. And of course, it reached LSU athletic director Scott Woodward,” Miller reports.

NB that quote is from Outkick, but I won't link to it here because.....it's Outkick. He also apparently brought numerous "girlfriends" to practice since he filed for divorce and it interfered with practices, including having the girlfriends' kids in drills with players (!).
