Per Bruce Feldman. Insubordination. Kelly wanted to keep Sloan. What a bitch.
quote:

Multiple program sources told The Athletic earlier Sunday, on the heels of LSU’s third loss in four games, that LSU athletic director Scott Woodward wanted Kelly to make staff changes, including firing offensive coordinator Joe Sloan, to try to fix an offense that ranks last in the SEC in rushing yards per game.

However, when Kelly and Woodward met Sunday afternoon, things got very tense. After Woodward told the head coach to fire his play caller, Kelly fired back that he wanted to make other staff moves Woodward wasn’t comfortable with. The situation then escalated, with the head coach pushing back hard against his boss. “It went bad fast,” a program source told The Athletic.

That'll do it, for sure.

Not saying this is false, but how does Bruce get this info?

You guys know a similar situation happened at ND right? This is why he bolted to LSU. He got int a hissy fit over the admin and boosters. He blamed them for not getting him over the hump to win a NC. So he went to LSU where he thought he could get a higher talent pool with better booster support.

Now as the world turns, you see why ND was tired of his shite. Just like a politician.

I’m kind of curious who else Kelly wanted to fire. And really curious who Scott Woodward would feel the need to protect?

The obvious name that pops in my head is Brad Davis, but can’t imagine Woodward feeling like he couldn’t afford to let him go?

You know what? I kinda respect BK calling Woodward out.

Sloan being fired would’ve solved about 3% of the problem with this progrum. Fat Scott wanted a PR win. Didn’t want to address the real issue.

Plus it resulted in BK probably getting fired. So thank you coach.

Why would Woodward stop Kelly from making other staff changes? I bet there have been other instances previously - either Kelly 100% owns it or he should be let go.

Willing to bet it was someone on defensive staff alongside the ST coordinator.

Can confirm this is what escalated the situation with Kelly.

Screw Kelly. Either he is too blind or too stupid to know he’s totally lost the fan base. He better be willing to take a negotiated buy out.
