Kelly has completely lost the fan base.

This feels like the end of the Miles era. He’s constantly making excuses. Won’t make any serious adjustments (in game or during the week). Is extremely predictable. Makes easy games look hard. Doesn’t really seem to give a shite or any concern about anything. Is completely oblivious about reality.


I truly wish he wouldn’t have been allowed back on the team plane. But I’m convinced we’ll be, at best, a Top 20-25 for the next 2 years. We’ll never be a Top 5 team with him lost at the wheel. Then he might get fired. By then no one will give 2 rats asses about watching an LSU game.

He’s taken all fun out of watching the Tigers play.

And that’s a sad thing to say.

well its over for him. It's When, not if. His time here has resulted in failure. His high point was beating saban in 22. if we didnt have JD he would have lost the fans even earlier.

But he couldnt put it together in his fourth year here, so he never will. It's just running out the clock now and looking to the future. Oh yeah and coming up with 50 mil

I don't know if he's completely lost the fan base but his credibility and trust has definitely been shaken.


He says the same thing after every game, "Need to prepare better, coach better, etc...." I've seen this movie before with a different coach.


Well this was game #6..... when are you going to start doing that? The offense looks the same in every game.

I look at the guy driving the bus. It starts there.

And he gets paid handsomely for this. That's a topic for a different thread but it is a fact.


I'm not ready to fire him yet but I'm definitely done defending him. You don't lose to Vanderbilt. The last time LSU lost to Vanderbilt, I was in freaking high school.

Diego Pavia is a talented player, I knew that going into this game, crap, I knew that last year and I've never played a down of football in my life.

The head coach that gets paid $10M a year should've seen this coming. I did. And so did a lot of others.


I'll always cheer for the Tigers but I'm done defending Kelly. There needs to be major improvements in preparation and play calling and I have my doubts on how much of either we, as fans, will see this season.

If he doesn't have Peyronie's already, I hope he gets bent soon

Have you never listened to a coach interview? This is the generic shite that all say. What in the world are you expecting him to say lol

Yeah he’s all out of answers. There’s nothing left for him to try and he knows it. He’s bummed out because I think he really wanted to win big for LSU but he was in over his head

I get the coach speak but when it's the offense looks the same game after game after game after game and the only comment he can make is "We have to do better"...... it gets stale after a while. It means nothing.


I'm not saying throw the players under the bus but how about earning that $10M/yr? Has LSU even scored 30 on anyone this season?

It can't be all the defense. The offense has to improve, do its part and it hasn't done that.

So show improvement. Don't give the same coach speak answers and then the following week it looks just like last week and the week before that. People are tired of it.

People hated BK from the start. Wanted LSU to lose so they can say " I told you so". I will never understand that way of thinking.

I don't care who the HC is, I want LSU to win. People disliked the Saban hire saying he was getting paid too much without real success at MSU. Really pissed when he lost to UAB.

People hated Miles when he was hired. Did not think he would have success. Pissed after losing a huge lead to UT in the home opener in first season.

People hated that O was hired. " The Binder" was ridiculed endlessly. Many thought O would not last after losing to Troy. They wanted Tom Herman and Jimbo Fisher and pissed when O was given the job.

LSU fans are never happy with the HC that are hired. I want BK to succeed bc I want LSU to succeed. If LSU has losing seasons, then a change will happen. BK is not going anywhere.

I get it, I’m tired of coachspeak too. Which is why I stopped tuning in to press conferences in general. All coaches always give coach speak. You never get anything of substance.

Yeah I don't watch those either. I just wait for the cliffs on here.


Eventually I'll see a summary of it and go from there but I don't make it a point to see what he has to say right after the game.


It's always coach speak.

He hired two co oc’s who barely had any play calling experience and it shows! Like it was the laziest hire imaginable. We are LSU we can hire an experienced oc. I said the day it happened it was a huge gamble and it turned out to be his undoing. At least with Matt House he had experience as a DC so whiffing on that hire was forgivable.

I ran over to the football ops building after the plane landed, saw the team getting off the bus and told them, Shake back next week, bebe, a lot of teams and programs with only 3 National Championships over the last 22 years and our minimal NIL and coaching budget would have lost at Vanderbilt today

I’ve never heard a head coach just comically lie about the health of the position that is most easiest to figure out if there’s an issue

It’s clear he was able to gaslight at ND, hard. That shite just doesn’t fly at a program with any actual standards / expectations

We just need to get Scott Woodward a few buttery nipples and he’ll be offering Lane Kiffin 250 million in no time.

He sucks. He’s soft. This is not working. He needs to not be here.

It has been a steady progression. At the beginning of the season it was probably around 25%, after Ole Miss it moved to 50% and now it’s nearly 100%
