Lane is the primary play caller (Charlie Weiss Jr is their Les Koenning), the face of their entire program (by design), their celebrity (see last post; also, see their last CGD picker!), and him leaving them in the lurch LIKE THIS would absolutely have an emotional impact on their team and staff....some (if not many) of which will likely be following Lane to the Bayou. Also, if we can make this a damn game (looking at you, Lebby), i can absolutely see some of their players making some bidness decisions....

If it?s more about money it?s gonna be Florida. Also if Steve Spurrier is involved.

If I?m OM and KT comes in?..I?m 8 in the box telling the true freshman beat me with your immature rocket launcher, but your legs are not going to beat us!

And imo that is Lebby's downfall. Alot of coaches have lost their job due to being so prideful and not changing personal when it needs to be done. I've had to fire people and it absolutely sucks, but if their actions effect my job and put me in a position to get fired then you gotta do what's best for you and yours. I agree with what SVS posted earlier. KT needs to play simply for the fact of we need to know where we stand with a QB going into the offseason. KT playing will help determine if he is the guy next year or if we need to go get a sure enough starter in the portal. I think KT needs to play because Shapen has played himself out of the position. But at the very least he needs to play so Lebby can determine what he needs from the portal at the qb position.

You're a coach. Have you ever had a guy that wasn't great in practice but played much better come game time? Honest question. It's something I've always been curious about.

I played with a couple guys that went and on and played in the MLB. They didn't take practice all that serious just because of how good they were. Granted this was high school practice, not college. They didn't have much competition.
I've had plenty of guys that turn it on and off at different times. That's very normal. I've never had somebody that was very average most weeks become really good on Fridays. Now I have had guys that were really good in practice and then bad on Fridays. The pressure wilts some players
QBs have individual time/group time/ and then team time. You get to see them perform doing lots of things during their reps. You have a really good idea of who they are.

LSU thinks they got him.
OM giving an ultimatum.
This is just what Lebby needs to potentially spring the upset.
Man I just got home to read all this. WOW!

I was wondering if it happens often. I've seen many guys be great at practice and come game time they struggle. Thanks for the input!

Lebby watches them everyday. He knows what he needs at QB for next season.
That is correct. And I'm going to go ahead and say it. If we think Lebby is going to trust his program with a guy he firmly believes is not ready, we have lost grasp of reality. If people are under the impression that Lebby is not going to shop for a QB, reality is lost on you. Half of the people demanding him play Taylor want Lebby gone anyway.
He has to get a portal QB if not 2 because Shapen is gone. Luke is not going to stick around to be behind an under classman. So he is going to go get the best QB(s) he can get in and may the best man win. Does that mean Taylor will not win the job, no. But it's Lebby's job to get the best he can get in to raise the level of competition

OK. Let's move beyond the vague.
If you were the HC, would you make KT QB1 and get a backup out of the portal? Or would you tell KT we're going after another potential QB1 and conduct a QB competition, with the possible result of KT hitting the portal?
And what do you foresee Lebby doing?

Agreed. Competition is the key.

Just remember. We are no longer in the era where players sit out a year. There's no competition if there's only one QB left. You better hope the portal guy you don't know is better than the one you have.

Yes sir. It's a gamble. I want KT to be the guy so I am really hoping he continues to progress. Competition is healthy and if Krom is going to transfer you have to get another qb. Like BSD stated, Lebby is going to get another qb out the portal regardless. If KT is diehard as everyone says and we pay him, he shouldn't transfer out. If he is a dog like I've heard, then he will enjoy the competition.

That's right. We have 3 viable QBs. We needed 4. Now we are going to have 1. If Krom sticks, and I just don't believe that he will (yes.. just an opinion) that's 2. That means you still need 2. We have one coming in from HS. That leaves us needing 1 from the portal.
But to the real point, none of that matters if the OL is as bad as it is this year. Don't care who the QB is.

Make no mistake; competition is healthy. But it seems harder in the new era to pull that off successfully with SEC level QBs. Lebby gonna have to push his chips to the middle one way or the other. And his future relies on getting it right.

I don?t think Ole Dixie is to happy about the visit. I can?t see this being a PR stunt.
LK didn't go on the visits. Parts of his family did.

He wants to leave but be allowed to finish out the entire season. I doubt that happens. There is no way that Bama or Ohio State would allow this to happen how Lane wants it.

Not a chance Shapen doesn't start on senior day.
He will likely start and play the first quarter. If thing are going southbound after the first then bring in KT.

Exactly.
If I were an OM fan, I would pissed if he leaves. At the same time, I'd realize I might not make the playoffs again, so I'd do all I could to win (let him coach)

I expect Lebby to tell KT he expects him to win the QB job in the Spring- but he has to bring in another QB to make sure the QB room has talent in it in case of injuries and such. Also depends on what Chicken Hawk decides to do as well. You tell him he gets the chance to win the job this Spring and Lebby expects him to win it. Competition makes the position better.

I think the Dogs need to focus on why they got gashed so badly between the tackles on def and why did the qb’s ran more that the rb’s........those are the questions that need the most attention....JMHO

There's the pitch. Another QB IN CASE KT GETS HURT. Perfect. AND you get the benefit of two QBs to push each other. I will be surprised if Krom stays.

We are not about to sit a Sr QB that has started every game this season about to play his last game in college
And that?s why we suck. No one is more important than the team. Unless you are Shapen, then you can turn it over all you want and still start

Because Mizzou leads the SEC in rushing and our DL is not good at all
We have played the Top 4 rushing teams in the SEC this season and they have all gashed us
1. Mizzou 39/326
2. UPig- 46/239
3. A&M- 54/299
4. Georgia- 44/303
Next Friday we play the 5th best rushing team in the SEC

Coach, kind of wish the old Kiffen ego would rule and just “Because” he would try to throw every down......of course withe The DOGS lack of pass rush even that would probably work......Please Lebby....GO DOGS
