What am I not understanding about Kelly not being a culture fit?

Fresh topic

It might not be, but I have seen 3 social media posts this morning spouting the same thing and I have never understood it.

Then he would have been a culture fit when he was hired. If he wasn't, there were only 3 other coaches that would be.

Kelly is a tired old man.10 years too late in getting him. He served his purpose for the first two years. I thank him for putting out the beyond dumpster fire O started. But now he has outlived his use here. He’s a stubborn old man who decides to lose games on his terms. Plus he kept Sloan this year who got fooled by a 17 year old kid.

Kelly thinks he came here to save us, but the fanbase, rightfully, thinks LSU always offered him more than he offered LSU. That’s why he left ND to come here.

He has not communicated anything in a way that reflects that since the alignment talk in his first PC. He “fit” fine when he was hired, but he forgot LSU is the star of this show sometime shortly after he got here. That’s the disconnect.

He’s here to capitalize on the LSU brand and history of success, but he acts and talks like he’s trying to fix a fundamentally broken thing. Maybe it was that screwed up when he showed up, but it’s hard to sell that to a fanbase when they watched a natty 4 years before you were hired. His tone and message just lacks a basic understanding of the expectations and experiences of the fanbase.

Saban defined his culture. Dabo, Kirby and Heipel define the culture at each man’s respective program. He is not a culture fit only if his culture results in not being elite because LSU expects to be elite

You’re overthinking it my man. Culture fit is one of those things that gets thrown out there when a coach’s message doesn’t seem to be landing, resulting in not winning football games. He’s said as much in his PCs. He thinks he has a good plan every game but something doesn’t click with the players, despite that they’re generally pretty talented. People would say shite like the language of ball is universal if it was working, and none of us would think much of it.

Kelly's approach is that his teams aren't physical enough.

You answered your own question... thats where it starts. Win, lose, or draw... LSU has ALWAYS been a physical team prior to him getting here. Les Miles won a lot of games on that aspect alone. It sure wasnt about his scheme.
