Chat with Vol fan this morning

People hate his personality. We would too if he was at another SEC school

Kelly can be a horse's arse. There have been plenty of times in the past where it looks like his head is going to explode because he's so made on the sidelines.

However, in 1.5 years at LSU we haven't really seen that guy too often. Maybe it's because he's matured/mellowed with age. Maybe it's because he hasn't yet had to face the full force of huge expectations that come with this job, so he's not dealing with that stress just yet. But I could see how many who observed him pre-LSU didn't like him. Hell, MANY LSU fans felt the exact same way before he became the HC.

I dont understand this comment about anyone.

It was on national television, everyone can see that players are screwing up. Now, why they are screwing up can be debated, but there is ALWAYS a player component, unless we are talking time management or game management decisions. But if you cant run it, someone isnt blocking, or someone cant block their assignment, or someone cant read the defense.

Same always.

Saying that players are not doing what they are supposed to do is not throwing anyone under the bus. And I have never heard any coach not say something along the lines of "I/we have to do a better job of geting them ready" in association with player comments.

I spoke to a diehard Nashville Predators fan this morning. He said Brian Kelly should install a penalty box at Tiger Stadium.

Kelly's early notre dame tenure was filled with red faced rage attacks on the sideline, mix that with the fact he coached at notre dame, a school people love to hate and see lose. Kinda similar to how saban would have a shite fit on the sidelines of alabama any time anything didn't go his way

Kelly has mellowed out a whole hell of a lot, even while still at notre dame, but I can admit I thought he was a total jackass during his early notre dame years

I think most people just don’t like Notre Dame and therefore didn’t like Notre Dame’s longtime coach. I was one of them until he came here. I think many people just made up their mind on him a long time ago well before he came to LSU.

After watching him over his 2 seasons at LSU, my opinion of him has definitely changed for the better.

I actually ran into a Slippery Rock fan yesterday who was telling me that Brian Kelly stole wheelchairs from a nursing home when he was at Grand Valley State

I couldn't stand him at ND. He was an ahole. I think he has calmed down a lot.
