If Kelly fails to make the Playoff would you be okay with firing him and hiring Gruden?

Gruden is “dying” to coach in the SEC apparently and we know he loves him some LSU.

People will shite on the question and I don’t blame them.

But I will say this for conversation sake.

I can’t think of a guy that would feel like a better fit (from attitude to personality to coaching style) than Gruden.

And I feel like he’d totally buy into the atmosphere of Tiger nation.

Almost feels like it would be too perfect.

Gruden hasn’t coached in college since 1989

What history does Gruden have at being a successful college coach? Will he magically gain that ability at ripe ole age of 61?

Didn’t Gruden get fired or resigned for saying something racist and anti gay? The blacks folks usually aren’t cool with people on the down low, but it might be hard to explain why you used the N word on a recruiting trip if indeed he did say such a word.

Feels like he’s been talked about being a college head coach on message boards every year since

Green is 61 years old
No let’s get a younger proven coach like Saban was or hot young Kirby.

That being said we are not getting rid of Kelly he will retire at some point but not be fired.

Gruden is not coming to lsu. This is like the 1970s when people would say fire McClendon and hire Joe Paterno or Bo Schembeckler.

Hiring Gruden to be the head coach would be the dumbest thing LSU ever did

I’m so sick about hearing about the “fit” of a coach to a program.

I do not think Kelly would be fired if he does not make the playoff. We would owe him way too much money to fire him anytime soon. Hypothetically speaking, I would be ok with Gruden as our coach. Not sure how that would impact recruiting considering his history and the reason why he was fired from the NFL.

I hope we fire CBK if we don’t make the playoff.

I’ll actually pray about it so the knuckleheads on this board might get a clue as to what we should be demanding from an overpaid coach.

Not
A
Single
Playoff
Appearance

Yet is in the top 5 most pricey coaches we should be requesting a refund.

If your brain can't understand the difference between the two coaches & situations then you shouldn't post.

Well wouldn’t that be (expletive) great? (Expletive) John Gruden? He’ll (expletive) whip these boys into shape right (expletive) now.

If we fire BK after this year you’ll have very little NIL money for players that’s for certain
