It took one game in the 2016 season for the feel-good period following Les Miles’s survival of an attempted coup to end. It took four games for the LSU head coach’s approval rating to dip so low that speculation about Miles’s future will loom over the rest of the Tigers’ games.

Will LSU boosters prepare a $10+ MM check a year for current FSU coach Jimbo Fisher?
AUBURN 18, LSU 13
But Fisher may turn it down given the iffy booster issues at LSU. Besides, Fisher’s contract at FSU has the advantage of living in a state with no state income taxes, which means much higher take-home pay to start with.

How does any team win in the SEC. They are all so evenly matched. Other than Alabama, I would think each team would be 4 and 4 in SEC play. Yeah gee, if LSU and Auburn get new coaching staff next year then the other teams will have a better chance of going 5-3 in conference play. Yeah I am a Georgia fan and the new coaches at the Athens school are looking sad right now. Well at least Florida lost., oh yeah Gee Tennessee won.
Lol. IMO, LSU boosters and Les Miles deserve one another. I say that because I KNOW the mind of LSU people. I got a family full of them. I went to Louisiana Tech, and and it drives them out of their minds. I tell them I went to Tech so I could be properly educated and be gainfully employed.
War Eagle!
We would take Miles at Iowa if we could get rid of Ferentz!
A lot of people want him to come to Columbia, SC to replace Muschamp.
At Penn State we would take your Ferrentz to get rid of our Franklin.
i.e., you went to one of few really good universities in that state that is not ridiculously infatuated with football.
ESPN’s flagship deal with the SEC cost quite a lot of money back a few (half dozen?) years ago and is up for renewal in a few more. At the time of the original deal though the B1G went with their own Network. ESPN went into “Liberal” mode on the Big Ten, however a combination of a deal recently signed by the Conference with ESPN (coupled with winning more out of conference games the past few years) has put an end to the EPSN SEC Dominance in Broadcasting. What you say is true, but when Alabama waltz’s into the National Championship game every year due to a weak conference now being exposed by fans and other conferences as well, it looks as if the MSM which in this case is ESPN who had a vested interest in the SEC (and now Big Ten) will advertise their NAME BRAND CONFERENCES.
serious?
Yeah, Florida collapsed in the second half. But the Vols were booed off the field at half-time by their 102,000 fans.

They don’t stink now, they just don’t have any quarterbacks. Hire Fisher if you want Bayou Stench because they sure will stink then.
Excellenrt goal-line stands by the Auburn defense. I was impressed.
However.

What I do not understand is if an illegal shift occurred on the previous play that resulted in a first down, why wasn’t time, in this case 5 - 6 seconds, put back on the clock? After all, an illegal shift occurs before the play starts.
