LSU Sports Insider

The LSU men's basketball team still only has four players confirmed on its roster, but that's three more than a couple of weeks ago. Our LSU Sports Insiders break down the new signees, whether we can expect immediate impact from them, what Will Wade and company still need to do to complete the roster and where other big names could be coming from. We also opine on NCAA tournament expansion and what it means for LSU and other teams that traditionally have struggled to consistently make March Madness.  #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #willwade #ncaabasketball #collegebasketball #marchmadness  0:00 - Finally, some basketball players  11:00 - Are these impact players?  23:00 - What's next for LSU roster?  29:00 - Expanded NCAA tournament

The LSU football team secured a verbal commitment from the nation's top tight end, Ahmad Hudson, this weekend, continuing some recruiting momentum for Lane Kiffin and his staff. Our LSU Sports Insiders talk about what it means, how Hudson fits and the interesting quarterback situation of the future. Meanwhile, on the hardwood, the LSU women's basketball team still figures to be in the market for one more player, while the Tigers men have, well, one player. What is going on with Will Wade and Co.? And what hints do we have about where they'll seek to fill out the 2026-27 roster? #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #lsufootball #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #collegebasketball #womensbasketball #womenshoops #secbasketball

Advocate columnist Scott Rabalais joins the LSU Insiders for a chat about all things LSU sports. We talk about the baseball team, whose SEC losing streak has reached historic proportions. We talk the first spring football session under Lane Kiffin and why the new coach is trying to stay realistic about his first year with the Tigers. We talk basketball transfer portal (the LSU men's team has HOW many players?). And we go big picture and discuss the state of college sports and where it's going in the NIL/revenue sharing era. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #collegebaseball #secbaseball #collegesports

The LSU football team wraps up spring football this week, and the LSU Sports Insiders are here to talk about impressions over the past few weeks. We discuss the backup quarterbacks, Landen Clark and Husan Longstreet, and Lane Kiffin's comments that they had improved from a "concerning" start. We also discuss Reed Darcey's standouts of spring camp and take a look at the NFL draft, where Mansoor Delane is expected to go in the first round. And what about Garrett Nussmeier?  #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #lsufootball #springfootball #secfootball #nfl #nfldraft #lanekiffin

The LSU baseball team was swept again this past weekend, losing all three games to Texas A&M without really coming close in any of them. The LSU Sports Insiders take a look at how slim the margin for error is for the Tigers to make the NCAA tournament, Jay Johnson's revealing comments about how he erred in building the 2026 roster and what realistically can be fixed for LSU to turn things around in the final month of the season. We also tip our cap to the LSU gymnastics team, which finished as national runner-up this past weekend. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #lsubaseball #secbaseball #collegebaseball #d1baseball #lsugymnastics #collegegymnastics

The LSU gymnastics team heads to Fort Worth, Texas, this weekend for the national championships as the Tigers look for their second national title in three years. LSU failed in the semifinals last year, and the LSU Insiders tell us what it'll take to get to the finish line this year. We break down Kailin Chio's record-breaking season and detail some injuries that will be key for the Tigers' chances. Plus: a look at Sam Burns' weekend at The Masters. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #collegegymnastics #gymnast #gymnastics #kailinchio

It's a busy spring at LSU, where the football team is deep into spring practices. What have our LSU Insiders observed from the open sessions? Is the offense a step behind the defense without Sam Leavitt participating? And what about the offensive line has us optimistic? Meanwhile, Flau'jae Johnson had an interesting night at the WNBA Draft, and the LSU women's basketball team has had its share of drama in the transfer portal, too. And finally, what's up with LSU baseball, which got punched (sorry) at Ole Miss last weekend?  #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #collegefootball #ncaafootball #womensbasketball #womenshoops #transferportal #collegebaseball #secbaseball

If the LSU baseball team turns its season around, we may point to last weekend in Knoxville as the reason why. The Tigers took two of three from the Tennessee Volunteers in remarkable fashion, rallying to win Friday and Sunday, the latter behind Cade Arrambide's four home runs in a wild 12-inning game. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #collegebaseball #ncaabaseball #secbaseball

The Will Wade era 2.0 has begun for LSU men's basketball, and the LSU Sports Insiders are back to discuss his introductory press conference, the reason the connection between Wade and LSU is so strong and some early expectations. Will this time around bring more pressure for Wade? What are immediate expectations? And how will he get the roster transformed to where he wants it? We also break down our Final Four and national championship picks with help from a special young guest.  #lsu #lsutigers #lsubasketball #geauxtigers #ncaabasketball #collegebasketball #marchmadness #finalfour #finalfourpicks #womensbasketball

The LSU women's basketball team lost a heartbreaker to Duke in the Sweet Sixteen on Friday night, and the LSU Sports Insiders are here to talk about it. What exactly went wrong, and how do you grade this LSU season? And what's next for the program? Also, we talk a little Will Wade and the big picture of LSU's athletic department. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #lsubasketball #willwade #womensbasketball #womenshoops #marchmadness #collegebasketball #collegehoops

The LSU men's basketball program received a shot in the arm Thursday when news broke that former coach Will Wade — who was fired after receiving a Notice of Allegations of NCAA violations in 2022 — is returning to LSU. Wade announced that he's leaving North Carolina State after one season and coming back to Baton Rouge. Our LSU Sports Insiders react live to the news and what it means for the men's basketball program. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #collegebasketball #ncaabasketball #marchmadness #secbasketball #sweet16 #basketballcoaches

The LSU Sports Insiders are back with a look at LSU's first spring football practice under new coach Lane Kiffin. What's different? Lots of players, for one thing. What are we looking for over the next several weeks? And how's quarterback Sam Leavitt progressing with his injury? We answer all that in a comprehensive look at spring practice. In addition, we bid farewell to Advocate LSU football beat writer Wilson Alexander, who is leaving the company after seven years as a friend and co-worker. Wilson shares some of his favorite moments on the football beat and his thoughts about the Baton Rouge community.  #lsu #lsufootball #geauxtigers #lsutigers #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #springpractice #sportsjournalism

The LSU women's basketball team routed Jacksonville and Texas Tech by a combined 112 points in two NCAA tournament games this weekend, giving Flau'Jae Johnson a perfect home sendoff and storming their way to Sacramento for the Sweet 16. Can LSU come out of a very tough regional? Our LSU Insiders are here to discuss, including a full recap of the history the Tigers set this weekend and their chances against Duke and UCLA coming up. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #ncaabasketball #marchmadness #womensbasketball #womenshoops #secbasketball

The LSU baseball team hosts No. 8 Oklahoma for a three-game SEC series this weekend, and the stakes are high — at least for March. The Tigers are trying to even their SEC record, and more importantly trying to build some momentum after a poor stretch. LSU baseball beat writer Koki Riley of The Advocate joins the LSU Sports Insiders for a look at what's going well, what needs to improve and whether his outlook and expectations have changed for the rest of the season. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #secbaseball #lsubaseball #collegebaseball #baseball

It's March Madness time, and the LSU women's basketball team drew a No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament. The Tigers will open tournament play Friday at home against No. 15 Jacksonville, almost certainly followed by a second-round game Sunday versus either No. 7 Texas Tech or No. 10 Villanova. Our LSU Insiders break down the matchups, the question of whether LSU is happy to be in a Sacramento regional with UCLA instead of a Fort Worth regional with UConn and our thoughts on possible rematches down the road with Duke and UCLA ... or a meeting with Kim Mulkey's old school, Baylor. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #secbasketball #womensbasketball #womenshoops #marchmadness #ncaatournament #bracket #finalfour

The LSU baseball team has hit a rough patch in the month of March, losing four of its past six games against competition far weaker than what the Tigers will face in SEC play, which begins this weekend with a road trip to Vanderbilt. Advocate LSU beat writer Koki Riley joins the LSU Insiders to discuss what's gone wrong for the Tigers, what they can do to fix it and whether fans should be panicking. We also have a mini preview of the SEC season — championship contenders, dark horses and teams that could fade. We'll finish with a preview of the Vanderbilt series and our expectations for LSU in conference play. Oh, and there's a rant about Team USA in the World Baseball Classic to get you started. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #lsubaseball #secbaseball #collegebaseball #sec #worldbaseballclassic #wbc2026

The LSU women's basketball team beat Oklahoma with one of the Tigers' best performances of the season to open their run in the SEC tournament, but then ran up against a familiar obstacle in South Carolina, which beat LSU 83-77 in the semifinals. What does it all mean? What seed are the Tigers going to get? And are they still national championship contenders? Our LSU Sports Insiders break it all down and also talk about Gary Redus' departure to become the head coach at Rutgers. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #womensbasketball #womenshoops #secbasketball #collegebasketball #collegehoops #marchmadness

The LSU men's basketball team is coming to the end of another disappointing season, the fourth under head coach Matt McMahon, who is squarely on the hot seat. Does that mean the end of the road for McMahon at LSU? Or will the school keep him another year to save money on a buyout and see if things improve next season? Our LSU Sports Insiders break down the situation and give their take on LSU's decision and a possible coaching search. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #secbasketball #marchmadness #collegebasketball #collegehoops #coachingcarousel

March Madness is here as the LSU women's basketball team heads to Greenville, South Carolina, this week for the SEC tournament. The Tigers are the No. 4 seed in the conference tourney, but they're still chasing a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament if they could pull off a run in Greenville. On the flip side, is their current No. 2 seed projection in jeopardy if they lose their first game? How much will Kim Mulkey "go for it" at an event she usually doesn't emphasize? And how does LSU match up with likely quarterfinal opponent Oklahoma? Our LSU Insiders answer these questions and more as we preview the SEC tournament. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #womensbasketball #womenshoops #sectournament #championshipweek #marchmadness #secbasketball

The LSU women's basketball team wraps up its regular season this weekend, and that means the final run for senior Flau'jae Johnson, a singular character in program history. Johnson has excelled on the court, winning a national title as a freshman and becoming a team leader as she approaches 2,000 career points, but also is a burgeoning star off the court with three recorded hip-hop albums and several big-time performances. Our LSU Sports Insiders talk about the impact of Flau'jae at LSU as well as a short preview of tonight's Tennessee game and a look at LSU's seeding possibilities in the NCAA tournament. Feature story on Flau'jae Johnson's background: https://www.nola.com/sports/lsu/lsus-flaujae-johnson-womens-basketball/article_c1a9fb74-9552-11ef-b225-7b0daf83f6c2.html Feature story on Izzy Besselman: https://www.nola.com/sports/lsu/womens_basketball/lsu-womens-basketball-izzy-besselman-heart-condition-senior-day/article_b4d3966b-98ac-4f37-bb7d-17450d14064c.html #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #womensbasketball #womenshoops #flaujae #collegebasekball #marchmadness

It's been a perfect beginning for the LSU baseball team, the reigning national champions who are off to an 8-0 start with a serious offensive explosion. The LSU Sports Insiders discuss what that tells them in this episode, from which of those offensive numbers are real, to what to make of an up-and-down pitching staff to any weaknesses we might see in what looks like another College World Series contender. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #lsubaseball #collegebaseball #secbaseball

The LSU Sports Insiders are back, even though we're traveling across the South for coverage. Reed Darcey checks in on his way to Oxford, where the LSU women's basketball team will take on Ole Miss on Thursday night, still with a long-shot chance at a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. We examine what it will take and why the meeting with the Rebels is a tough first step. Scott Rabalais also joins the show before leaving for Jacksonville, where the LSU baseball team plays this weekend. We have first impressions of the baseball Tigers from their 5-0 start against soft competition.  Also: A check on men's basketball and the fate of Matt McMahon and the second No. 1 vs. No. 2 meeting this season for LSU gymnastics.  #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #womensbasketball #womenshooops #collegebasketball #ncaabasketball #collegebaseball #secbaseball #gymnastics #collegegymnastics

The No. 6 LSU women's basketball team hosts No. 3 South Carolina on Saturday night in a nationally televised spotlight game that gives the Tigers their best opportunity yet to break a long losing streak against the Gamecocks. Can they do it? Our LSU Sports Insiders break the game down, from LSU's advantages to South Carolina's advantages and finally what the game means and our predictions.  #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #womensbasketball #southcarolina #gamecocknation #womenshoops #collegebasketball

It's difficult to repeat as a national champion in college baseball, but this year's LSU team starts at No. 1 or No. 2 in virtually every set of national rankings. We break down the Tigers in our 2026 season preview, including: • Why it's so difficult to repeat • The lineup has several key holdovers, including Derek Curiel and Steven Milam • How LSU is filling the rest of the holes • The new-look pitching staff  • A schedule breakdown and predictions Also in this episode, a brief discussion on LSU alum Will Campbell and his struggles for the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #lsubaseball #collegebaseball #collegeworldseries #superbowl #nfl #patriots #newenglandpatriots

LSU football coach Lane Kiffin spoke to the media Wednesday for the first time since his opening week on the job. Our LSU Sports Insiders break down his comments on the Tigers' new transfer-laden roster, Kiffin's dogged pursuit of Sam Leavitt and Jordan Seaton, an injury update on Leavitt and much more. We also offer Super Bowl predictions. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #lsufootball #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #superbowl #superbowllx

The LSU women's basketball team thumped Alabama 103-63 on Sunday afternoon, punctuating what is now a seven-game SEC winning streak. The Tigers head to Austin for a rematch with Texas on Thursday night, and our LSU Sports Insiders talk about what is going so well for LSU, what challenges they'll face in trying to sweep the Longhorns and what's at stake in the next couple of weeks. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #womensbasketball #womenshoops #collegebasketball #marchmadness

The LSU women's basketball team has won five straight, including wins over top-10 foes Texas and Oklahoma, and has put an 0-2 start in SEC play behind it. Our LSU Sports Insiders dissect what makes this LSU team so effective and their hopes to compete for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. Also discussed: • The dreary season for LSU men's basketball and the shaky future of coach Matt McMahon • Garrett Nussmeier's comments at the Senior Bowl and that mysterious injury #lsu #lsutigers #lsuwomensbasketball #womensbasketball #womenshoops #collegebasketball #marchmadness #seniorbowl #collegefootball

The transfer portal is closed, and LSU has 42 new players, plus 16 incoming freshmen, to create an all-new roster for 2026. The Tigers have new quarterbacks, a new receiver room and a new starting left tackle on an offense that will have eight new starters. On defense, there are fewer newcomers but still some significant additions. Our LSU Sports Insiders break down the new roster, looking at early ideas of strengths and weaknesses and position battles as we head into the spring.  #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #collegefootball #ncaafootball #transferportal #lanekiffin

The college football transfer portal is closed, and while LSU is still waiting on a big decision from a big guy in Colorado offensive tackle Jordan Seaton, the Tigers' new class is mostly complete. And what a class it is: 41 players, including three quarterbacks, top edge rusher Princewill Umanmielen and dozens of top players everywhere. Our LSU Sports Insiders break it down and discuss what it means for the 2026 season. Are high expectations warranted? Is it too early to say? And what questions do we still have?  #lsu #lsufootball #lsutigers #geauxtigers #collegefootball #ncaafootball #transferportal #jordanseaton

The LSU Sports Insider welcomes a special guest for this episode: LSU baseball coach Jay Johnson, as he prepares for the 2026 season with the reigning national champions. Johnson and our insiders converse about: • How he reminds himself to enjoy the successes • The hardest part about repeating as champion • His thoughts on the 2026 team • Key lineup and rotation decisions • LSU baseball's place in the NIL/revenue sharing era #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #collegebaseball #ncaabaseball #secbaseball

The college football transfer portal is still churning, and LSU has added another quarterback to its room that already included Sam Leavitt. That would be 5-star freshman Husan Longstreet from USC, who committed to LSU on Wednesday. The result is that the Tigers have gone from no scholarship QBs last week to one of the nation's most promising QB rooms this week. Now, as for the offensive line... Also, the LSU men's basketball team's NCAA tournament hopes — and Matt McMahon's future at LSU — are on the brink of collapsing after a heartbreaking loss to Kentucky on Wednesday night. We give details on what athletic director Verge Ausberry said about McMahon's future and what's next for LSU basketball. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #collegefootball #ncaafootball #transferportal #samleavitt #collegebasketball #marchmadness

The LSU Sports Insider is back with breaking news: Arizona State quarterback transfer Sam Leavitt is expected to sign with LSU, giving the Tigers their presumptive starter for the 2026 season. We take a look at how Lane Kiffin and Co. made it happen, even after Leavitt left Baton Rouge without signing, and what kind of impact he can have on the LSU offense. Plus, we talk about Caden Durham returning to the Tigers, the rest of their No. 1-ranked transfer portal haul and what's still left to accomplish. #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #geauxtigers #collegefootball #ncaafootball #transferportal #samleavitt #quarterbacks

The LSU Sports Insider is back with a transfer portal extravaganza, updating you on the players Lane Kiffin and his staff have brought in, what needs LSU still has, and, of course, the quarterback situation. Does LSU prefer Sam Leavitt or Demond Williams? Will they have their choice between the two? What about Williams' legal situation with Washington? And is it time to hit the panic button if they land neither? We answer those questions and more on this episode. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #collegefootball #ncaafootball #collegefootballtransfers #transferportal #football #cfp #collegefootballplayoff #womensbasketball

College football's transfer portal opens Friday, and a flurry of activity is expected across the country, not least at LSU, where new coach Lane Kiffin and the Tigers will be seeking a quarterback among many other starters. Our LSU Insiders take a look at which starters are returning, positions the Tigers need most, where they might be looking and what kind of strategies they might employ with their budget. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #lsufootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #transferportal

The 2025 LSU football season is finally at an end after a 38-35 loss to Houston on Saturday night. Our LSU Insiders give their takeaways — a couple from the game, more from Lane Kiffin's interview on the ESPN broadcast — and start to turn their attention to the transfer portal that opens Friday. Also, we preview the SEC basketball seasons for both the LSU men's and women's teams. Can the men continue their rebound all the way into the SEC tournament? Can the women finally beat South Carolina and parlay their explosive start into a No. 1 seed? Advocate beat writers Toyloy Brown and Reed Darcey provide their best conjecture. #lsu #lsutigers #lsusports #geauxtigers #lsufootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #collegebasketball #womensbasketball #womenshoops #ncaabasketball

LSU football is back in the Texas Bowl for the third time in five years. This time, the Tigers will face Houston, and it looks like they'll have a more complete roster than they did when they lost to Kansas State in the 2022 edition of the bowl. Which players will suit up? Which ones will sit out? And what can coach Lane Kiffin and his offensive staff learn from the matchup? Reed Darcey and Scott Rabalais, two members of The Advocate's LSU beat team, break it all down, then turn their attention to the College Football Playoff's quarterfinal games. 

Another busy news week for the LSU football team means another LSU Insider podcast to discuss. Frank Wilson will be leaving the Tigers after coaching them in the Texas Bowl next week — and he's heading to Ole Miss, of all places. More outbound transfers confirmed, including a promising freshman offensive lineman in Carius Curne and a backup quarterback. And the College Football Playoff starts Friday. We offer some predictions and hot takes. #lsu #lsufootball #lsutigers #geauxtigers #collegefootball #ncaafootball #transferportal #olemiss #hottytoddy #cfp #collegefootballplayoff

The college football transfer portal opens Jan. 2, and new LSU coach Lane Kiffin and his staff figure to be busy filling out the roster of the 2026 Tigers. Our LSU Insiders go through the team's needs and departures at quarterback, offensive line, wide receiver and defensive positions. We also take a look at the newly released 2026 schedule, with LSU's first SEC game already one of the most anticipated road games in program history. #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #geauxtigers #collegefootball #ncaafootball #transferportal #football

The LSU Sports Insiders are back with a look at some Texas Bowl opt-outs for LSU, including the starting quarterback whose final season at LSU went nothing like he expected. We discuss Garrett Nussmeier's legacy, Whit Weeks' decision to come back and more. Also, for the first time this season, we have an extended basketball discussion, as both the men's and women's teams at LSU are off to strong starts. We examine what's gone right and what to expect when the schedules toughen up next month. #lsu #geauxtigers #lsutigers #collegefootball #ncaafootball #texasbowl #bowlseason #football #collegebasketball #collegehoops #lsubasketball #womensbasketball #womenshoops

It was only seven days ago that Lane Kiffin was introduced as LSU's new football coach. In that time, he's named or retained nearly his entire coaching staff, kept together the major parts of a recruiting class and generally continued to make headlines, skipping out on a College Gameday interview, and as an afterthought, LSU learned its bowl destination. Our LSU Sports Insiders discuss the week that was and what we expect to come next. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #collegefootballplayoff #olemiss #hottytoddy #lanekiffin #football

Lane Kiffin hasn't even been LSU's football coach for a week, but already he had to navigate an early signing day. It was chaotic, as expected, but as the dust continues to settle, how did he do? Our LSU Insiders discuss on this episode, as well as what Kiffin and Co. will continue to do as they build their staff, recruit the high school ranks and prepare for the transfer portal. Also: A quick update on basketball, which has been great thus far for both the LSU men and women. #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #geauxtigers #collegefootball #ncaafootball #nationalsigningday #footballrecruiting

Lane Kiffin is officially the new football coach at LSU after a tumultuous hiring process that finally ended with Kiffin's introductory press conference Monday. Our LSU Sports Insiders give their first impressions of Kiffin and recap the process that led the Tigers to hiring him, the tough decision Kiffin had to make to leave Ole Miss and what's first for Kiffin in a busy period in which he'll need to hire a coaching staff, keep LSU's recruiting class on board and prepare for the transfer portal. #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #secfootball #footballrecruiting #olemiss #hottytoddy #lanekiffin #americanfootball #football #coachingcarousel #collegefootball #ncaafootball

Lane Kiffin is still the football coach at Ole Miss, at least for now. After that, could he be coming to LSU? It appears increasingly likely, although a deal is not done yet. Our LSU Sports Insiders, beat writer Wilson Alexander and columnist Scott Rabalais, tell us what they're hearing and their thoughts on the matter, including a reported lucrative contract offer to Kiffin and what names they're hearing as backup candidates. We also talk about what LSU's new coach will need to do to overhaul the Tigers' woeful offense, which hit a new low during an ugly win over Western Kentucky on Saturday.  #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #lsufootball #lanekiffin #lsucoach #secfootball #hottytoddy #olemiss #football

Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin is the hottest name in the college football coaching carousel, and both the LSU Tigers and Florida Gators are very interested, hosting Kiffin's family in Baton Rouge and Gainesville and selling the coach on their job. So on this episode of LSU Insider, we do exactly that: Make the best sales pitch for both LSU (beat writers Wilson Alexander and Koki Riley) and Florida (Advocate prep sports writer Jackson Reyes, who went to UF) and why he might choose that school.  We also discuss LSU's backup plans if Kiffin goes to Florida or stays at Ole Miss, and a quick discussion of the quarterback situation for Saturday's game against Western Kentucky.  #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #collegefootball #gogators #gatorchomp #florida #ncaafootball #football #footballcoach

The LSU football team won a game on Saturday against Arkansas, but chatter continues to increase on the coaching search that will define this program's future. Our LSU Insiders reset the situation and divulge what they know on this episode, including some speculation on Lane Kiffin declining to commit long term to Ole Miss, what that could mean for LSU and just who the favorite is to be the Tigers' next head coach. We also answer the question: Who's a bigger long shot, Nick Saban or Frank Wilson? #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #collegefootball #lanekiffin #olemiss #hottytoddy #ncaafootball #football #footballcoach

The LSU football team has a game against Arkansas on Saturday, but let's face it, that's not what anyone wants to talk about. Brian Kelly sued LSU! Nick Saban is the new betting favorite to be the Tigers' next coach! Our LSU Insiders discuss all that and, yes, a little bit of the Arkansas game on this episode. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #lsufootball #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #coachingcarousel #football #woopig #arkansasrazorbacks

The LSU football program has more chaos in its coaching search. This time, it's ex-coach Brian Kelly fighting for as much of his $54 million buyout as possible while LSU tries to minimize its payment to him. Our LSU Insiders comment on the situation and what it means for the Tigers' coaching search. On the field, LSU replaced starting quarterback Garrett Nussmeier with Michael Van Buren in the second half against Alabama on Saturday. Will that be the case going forward? More on that and on Nussmeier's ultimate legacy at LSU. #lsu #lsufootball #lsutigers #geauxtigers #secfootball #ncaafootball #collegefootball #football #nfldraft

The LSU Sports Insiders are back to discuss more confusion in the LSU football coaching search saga, this time regarding the title of Verge Ausberry, who has been described as the interim athletic director, the "acting" athletic director and the permanent athletic director at various points this week. We parse what it means and whether it matters. Plus: An actual football game! For the first time since Brian Kelly was fired, LSU takes the field, and it's a big test against No. 4 Alabama. Can the Tigers pull off the upset under interim coach Frank Wilson? We'll break it down and offer predictions. #lsu #lsutigers #lsusports #lsufootball #geauxtigers #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #football

The LSU football team heads to Alabama this week, but the oxygen in Baton Rouge is all being taken up by the team's search for a new coach. Our LSU Sports Insiders are here with more thoughts, including lead beat writer Wilson Alexander, who spoke to 15 people involved with the football program to find out how it all went wrong with Brian Kelly. We also offer updated thoughts on the search after interim athletic director Verge Ausberry and members of LSU's Board of Supervisors held a press conference Friday, look at the latest odds for LSU's next coach and talk about how the timeline will get very complicated for any candidates taking their current team to the College Football Playoff. #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #geauxtigers #football #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #coachingcarousel
