I keep coming back to this on BK: He is 61 years old and wants a National Title

or more. He has already accomplished pretty much everything but winning the whole thing. He was winning double-digit wins in his last games at ND, and no ND fans were calling for his job. He could have coasted to retirement and moved to the beach to golf.

Instead, he came to LSU and has 10-11 more years likely to win a national championship or two. Les and O did it so I just don't understand why BK wouldn't be able to.

That is why I feel confident he will make the necessary coaching changes to recruit and play at the level LSU fans are expecting. Just my two cents.

Well said.


It’s year two.

Granted game one of year two could not have gone any worse. But it’s still season two.

Some are expecting him to outperform Nick damn Saban. He went 2-6 in his first year at Alabama. Went to sugar his second year.



Also for first responder, he did not blow his shot this year. Damn people.

I suspect the huge pay increase had a play in this.

Double sided: he saw that an above average, but less than perfect goof like Les Miles was given many years of mediocrity and a ton of money. A win win in his book.

Because the roster was so depleted, this will be a 3-4 year turnaround. Even with the portal, you can’t build program continuity. He’s only had one recruiting class, he lost two DL coaches (one to NFL and the other to health), had no idea about QB leadership when hired and chose to recruit JD because Nuss chose to sit out the bowl game, and Bk needs to establish trust with recruits and high school coaches which takes time and is why he’ll stay loyal to JD and those who commit to the program. Last year was truly a great outcome given all the issues. Let’s see how the young players develop. That’s the key.

We could very well see a rematch with FSU in the playoffs

It is worth noting that he was only making 2.7 million at ND and LSU tripled his salary.

Agreed. FSU stood by Norvell during his "G5 Mike" years, and now look where they are. I share many frustrations about this staff as other posters, but I still believe that Kelly can get us to be a consistent high-level program.

This season is far from over.
A 12-1 or 11-2 SEC Champion gets in the playoff.

I didn’t think we stood a chance against Bama last year after week 1.

Also, these week 1 games will practically be meaningless when the 12 team playoff starts next year

ND is private. They don’t disclose the actual amount of coach’s salaries. I believe It’s been stated that Kelly was making around $5 - $7 Million at ND.

I mean we got blown out by another possible playoff team. It very easily could turn into a Va Tech 07 situation.

I learned this week that the first week of the season is all you need to see in order to make conclusions on the season. I used to not think this way but the rant has shown me the error in my ways.

Yep. And there was no playoff that year either.

So just calm down everyone.

Pretty sure beating Bama and UGA would outweigh something that happened 4 months prior.

2.7 is what was discussed at the time of the hire. But you are correct private schools dont have to disclose it so hard to know for sure.

I mean I get what you are saying, but let’s not act like $100 million didn’t play a factor in his decision.

with the playoff system it could still happen, but with this team and coaching staff it's not very likely
