2 ten win seasons, a 9 win season, 3 bowl wins, and a Heisman winner.

you can hold players accountable without being an a-hole.

I coach high school sports. There’s expectations that I expect to be upheld and there’s consequences for not upholding them. I don’t embarrass my athletes in public settings. It’s not that hard.

And you’re counting bowl wins in an era where they’re essentially exhibitions. Ryan day made the playoffs in two of his first four years, the four team version, and made it to the final weekend of the season controlling his own destiny as far as making the playoff every single year.

LSU hasn’t made it past the first weekend of November with realistic playoff chances in four years under Kelly. We weren’t just not winning titles, we weren’t even a top 20 team.

Saban, Les Miles, and Orgeron all won SEC championships and a national championship in four years.

Kelly won nothing in the same amount of time.

None of them dealt with NIL while at LSU. The game has changed. Saban retired because of NIL. The old way is dead. LSU can't win the arms race. They need to think outside the box. I don't think they will. 4 straight buyouts looks bad.

Kirk Ferentz is the last of the old business of CFB, the way it used to be, before we went ADHD irrationally fickle....a solitary Mohican...27 years at Iowa.

Frank Beamer - 29 years at VaTech
Bobby Bowden - 34 years at FSU
JoePa - 46 years at Penn State

Now Coaches barely are there for a cup of Coffee, especially if they don't win the Conference or Natty in 3-4 years. it took Tom Osborne about 30 years to win his first National Title despite being ranked in the final Top 10 every year.

What a ridiculous profession these days when your Boss is controlled by drunk fans and Internet vitriol with the patience of an 8 year-old girl wanting Ice Cream NOW!

This NIL Bullspit has caused every team's base to think they can buy a championship.

When they spend 18 million (like LSU) and get beat three times someone arse has to take the fall.
