murder

how about gross negligence to allow a 20 year old kid on a scissor lift in 50 mph winds?

He’s overrated and gets throttled every playoff



correct

and at a premier program

there is absolutely no reason to believe he would be better at LSU than he has been at ND

Kiffin would be “fun” but I’d prefer to have a coach that knows when to and when not to go for a fourth down. The consistency we would get with Kelly would be amazing.

Both would be good hires. Both have their issues.

I didn’t. But the “no drama” line doesn’t play with BK

What’s BK’s specialty

IIRC his background is defense. He's been a good coach at ND and Cincy before that. ND isn't the same attraction that they were 30+ years ago. Getting them in the playoffs is pretty impressive. My main concern with going after Kelly is that they might be in the playoffs again this year.

Bad hire no matter how you paint it


So a guy who is 44-6 over the last 4 seasons with two (possibly 3) playoff appearances and has been named the national COY three times would be a "bad hire"? Holy shite!!

This board went nuclear upon hearing LSU "missed out" on the coach LSU embarrassed in the CFP two years ago and one Kelly out recruited last season and is on pace to out recruit this season.

I am a boomer and all for the “age is just a number” mindset.

That said, I do not want a 60 year old new coach.

Dave Aranda could build a 30 year dynasty at LSU.

So tired of hearing this. It happened in 2010. If he murdered that kid or was found grossly negligent he would be in prison.

LSU has way better facilities anyway. We don’t need kids in manlifts to video practice. That’s on ND.

I think He’s be better at LSU than ND.

ND is a premier program but so is Michigan, and Nebraska. None of them Have natural recruiting territories. ND relies on mid west Catholics.

It is a little easier to recruit to the SEC and LSU.

My biggest concern is age. He’s 60. Regardless of what Saban is doing this guy could be done in 5 years.

yeah, but Saban renews himself by feasting on the blood of greyshirted 4*'s.

You want a consistent year in year out solid team? Kelly

Loads of experience? Kelly

Stable guy with no drama? Kelly
are you saying that Kelly is better than Saban at all those items? Surely this isn't a comparison between the two.

And I'm not sold on Kelly's offensive prowess, goals, and scheme.

Very underwhelming if this is the hire. Swing and a miss for Woodward.

Age doesn't matter when it comes to Saban. He recruits are the very most elite level.

Would much prefer Kiffin over Kelly. Much better offenses.

It's unlikely that our next coach will be at LSU for even 10 years. We've been playing football since the 1800s and have only had 3 coaches stay 10 years or longer.

Kelly is far and away the best coach in America (college) behind saban.

Actually I’m not sure if even saban can do what he did at notre dame.
