Lots of posts say BK won’t be fired this year we are stuck with him for now

It’s substantially easier to keep recruits now. You may have heard about money

And that’s because of the buyout. If that is the case;
1) What happens to recruiting this year? Anyone that follows sports knows Kelly is on hot seat. If they keep him, recruiting will struggle big time.

2) if they keep him he is going to lose a number of players. They all know he’s on the hot seat….why stay?

3) He’s going to have to get a QB. Again, who will want to come?

I realize money is money and it’s a lot to come up but unless things improve quick, keeping Kelly is going to do serious damage in next couple of years to program.

None of that matters. If you don't have $60 million to buy out Kelly and his current staff, and then another $70 million to hire a new head coach and staff...

It not going to happen. So quit asking.

Should they fire him like you wanted to do to Jay Johnson?

All players are basically on 1-year deals now. The potential of a coach being fired during the player's time at the school isn't a big deal because the player is a free agent and can easily go elsewhere if the coach is dismissed. He's not worried about anything else beyond just next season. Ironically, it's Kelly's failure to accept this reality that played a role in putting him in this situation. The primary reason it was a priority to keep Sloan and, eventually, promote him to OC, was to help ensure LSU signed Bryce Underwood. Yet, despite 2-3 years of recruiting him, building a relationship, him being committed to LSU, a better financial offer came in late from another school and he accepted the offer.

Not that easy if the people funding NIL don’t like the product they are paying for and elect to cut donations or quit all together.

That's the big leverage the donors have to force a change. The HC is reliant upon them now more than ever for roster building. If those funds dry up, the coach is largely powerless to recruit.

"what year is it post"

Recruiting and retention is based on one thing: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

You are either dumb or a smartass. I’m guessing the latter.

BK has been at LSU almost 4 years. He hasn’t come close to showing the promise Johnson has. But I think you know that. You are a computer giant who sits behind a keyboard where you are safe and act big & bad.

Just because one or two guys threaten to pull their NIL money

Ain't no way Gordon is pulling his NIL.

1) Doesn’t matter, he’s not going anywhere any time soon

2) I don’t know if players care as much as you think they do. They get paid no matter what, LSU puts players in the NFL, with or without BK, period. If they get more money elsewhere they’re gone anyway.

5-2 this year. Year isn't over yet.
