The “You’re Spoiled” comment by Kelly to Reporters

Give me a break. BK is not infallible.

There’s no doubt that singular comment was the beginning of the end for him in terms of the fan base turning on him. You’re goddam right we’re spoiled, and we demand to continue to be spoiled. shite or get off the pot, Brian.

Happens to the best of us!

Did he mean we were spoiled by our success as a program?

This is how I took it.

And I think the subtext was, you're delusional. I think what he meant was "These expectations are nuts, you all expect to compete for the national title every year, I've never been around a fanbase this rabid. This is insanity, you want everything."

And I think he's right. I don't think any LSU fan with a lick of awareness thinks we aren't "spoiled."

But we aren't children and the coach isn't the parent. The fans, the beat writers, the alumni, the donors, etc. are here to stay. The coach is transient. We may be spoiled, but personally I don't care. At the end of the day, I want this program to compete for national titles. Every year. Will there be an 8-4 year here and there? Sure. But the standard should be 10-2 and playoffs every year. If you keep in state talent in state, you will get those results.

Miles was here for 11 full seasons. In those full seasons he averaged 10-11 wins and 2-3 losses (10.6 - 2.9 to be exact).

So yeah, we are spoiled. We've seen what happens when the coach takes advantage of arguably the most-talent rich region in the country.

Well said Odysseus

And me, too.

That reaction told me all I needed to know about our chances under his leadership. Complete defensive reaction by him. Either he thinks we’re dumb or he knew deep down there were problems and didn’t want to admit it. A true LSU fan knows excellence when we see it, and we know the traits needed for a team to have a chance to win a championship.

Brian Kelly and Nussmeier hid Nuss’ injuries to the detriment of the team. Brian Kelly failed to address the offensive line struggles and the inconsistent play calling from his low-rent Offensive Coordinator. And now we’re pretty much out of it, facing the reality that it would take a miracle to run the table, running the table mind you with the same personnel and coaches.

We are in year 5 now with an expanded 12-team playoff and we’ve really not even been close to getting in under his tenure. He is a top 5 paid coach, or was until recently. But we’re not getting Top 5 program results from him, just excuses.

I’m done with him. And I think he knows the fan base is too. This was the year we had all of the pieces to get over the hump, a fifth year senior QB and a greatly improved and expensive defensive roster, and we’re practically out of it 7 games in. That’s why his demeanor at the press conferences has changed after these two losses, from beating on desks and yelling at reporters to this deer in the headlights, almost stoic posture. He knows it’s another year of not making the playoffs.

Goodbye Brian.

The man who makes $10 million dollars a year wether he wins or loses a kids game calling people who make meager wages working a 9 to 5 spoiled is peak insanity

This was the final straw for me with Kelly. fricking right I’m spoiled. You knew the expectations when you took the job. This proves that he just doesn’t get it. Go look at Saban’s press conferences after ugly wins. Dude was breathing fire at his team and explaining how the process is more important than the results.

WERE*

As in before him. We were spoiled if you’re talking about competing, giving LSU a chance each week, producing anything that resembled a running game, etc.
