Former LSU head coach Brian Kelly discussed his firing from LSU on Sirius XM College Sports Radio this morning. Here's what he had to say:
quote:
"The easy answer is I didn't win enough games. That's the bottom line, right?" Kelly said. "We came there to build a program, and we didn't get a chance to finish it. Disappointed that we didn't get to finish the job."

...

"The situation at LSU got very complex, right? You know, there were a lot of people who were involved," Kelly explained.

"Leading up to my firing, the president was forced out. And he was a big reason why I took the job."

"Our senior associate athletic director, our athletic director, and the chair of the board are now gone."

"So, you know, there were bigger things going on..."

BK will never take any accountability for the job he did. Dude was lazy and thought LSU was here to serve his ego. Good riddance, go coach UMASS

If he had won all those people would still be here. So no BK, there werent bigger things going on. It was all because of your inability to get it done.

Ingratiating myself to the loyal fan base was complex.

Fitting in some face time with recruits in a state that offers 10 months of golf is complex.

Using LSU resources to attract and retain top flight coaching talent is complex.

Being paid $100 million is enough for you to figure out complex problems.

“ The situation got very complex“ … yeah you jackass, you continue to play a hurt quarterback, instead of resting him early in the season and or didn’t have a viable option at number two

Tate was heavily recruited and hired hired away from LSU by Rutgers. He did great things for LSU academically and in competitive sports. BK was a cheap suit with a huge paycheck who mailed it in when he lost the team and fan base.

The easy answer is the correct one. He didn't win enough games. He should have stopped there.

When you're not winning in YR4 you won't be winning in YR5. His performance in YR4 looked like a human turd. That 10 YR contract fat Scotty gave him is the most ignorant piece of the Kelly facade.

He just throws this out there. I have never heard he was forced out. Some talk about Tate not wanting to deal with Landry. Tate is why the past 2 incoming fall freshman classes have had less than 50% white enrollees. He hid his racial politics on the academic side behind big name hires of white coaches.

Brian Kelly won one game of importance during his time @ LSU. His first game against Alabama that went into overtime!
