Ross Dellenger article on how everything unfolded from last night to Kelly’s firing

Some quotes I thought were interesting from the article

Kelly has expressed to those at LSU and elsewhere that he wants to coach again — a move that could drastically reduce the buyout or potentially result in a negotiated lump payment.

Earlier Sunday, as LSU officials and donors as well as Louisiana political figures considered all of these aspects, weighing the costs of keeping him versus cutting bait, the decision was clear: This wasn’t salvageable.

It was to the point that one leading LSU figure noted Sunday evening that Kelly couldn’t explain why his players weren’t playing harder. He’d lost the locker room, says another person.

“We are soft,” said a third.

“Apathy is second to this program,” said one LSU powerbroker Sunday. “What happened to Saturday night cannot happen.”

“After the dollars we spent, I’m shocked at how bad this team has played,” said one leading donor.

But is all the outrage justified?

As one person quipped Sunday, “This is the age of outrage. There is no more patience.”
