Did anyone at all in the program like this motherfricker?

If one person calls you something this bad, then it’s probably true.

Did SW or anyone else do due diligence on BK before offering that contract?

Doesn’t sound like it

Has any players or former players come out in support of this guy?

Would it have mattered? We were looking for a coach that could win us football games. Not a personality contest.

Everyone already knew Kelly was a c-u-n-t. Maybe not to this extent, but he was very unlikable before he ever got here.

Problem is, when he can't get it done on the field than the dislike for him grows exponentially at a rapid rate.

Has anyone seen a single positive thing a former player has said about Kelly. If its not negative its just "haven't really talked to him since leaving" etc.

If its not negative its just "haven't really talked to him since leaving" etc.

Or “never really talked to me even though I started gor 3 years on his team”

Who?

I know who he is, but that’s how it goes. There’s 100+ players on the team. Of course the HC, whose time is very limited, isn’t gonna go out of his way to shoot the shite with guys who are hurt and not playing.

I played football and baseball at West Monroe. I was much better at baseball, but was good enough to start at DT/TE on the freshman football team because I had a pretty high football IQ and just enough athleticism at that time to play. I was slippery and had more TFLs and blocked punts than my athleticism really had any business making.

Anyway, Don Shows would see me and walk with me and talk with me on my way to the baseball field in the spring if he saw me. Or in the halls of our paths crossed. (He did that to all the 2 sport players, I was not special). But he called me by name and was very friendly. Knew how I did in the last baseball game. I didn’t get any taller after 8th grade (6 ft), and the guys who played my position in football shot up, and all wound up 6’4” and playing D-1.

So they fatted me up and tried to make me a tackle/blocking TE. Went from 160 the fall of my freshman year to 220 the spring of my sophomore year. Went from playing SS to 1B. Finally had to say “frick this,” I’m not sacrificing my baseball career to be a fat arse offensive lineman. So I quit football, lost weight, and played SS/3B/P my JR. and SR. seasons. The day I quit football was the 1st day Don Shows ignored my existence. Never spoke a word to me again. And he was the AD and the football HC, so he “should” have cared about baseball, since it was technically under his purview. But he only cared about football. But I didn’t get my feelings hurt. I didn’t expect him to “waste” his time talking to me when he could have—and did—spent it talking to football players. That was his baby.

BK is clearly an a-hole. But I don’t think him not taking a bunch of his time out to talk to Mathew Langlois when he wasn’t playing is some unforgivable sin. I bet most HCs these days don’t have close relationships with most players. That’s for the position coaches. Saban sure didn’t. And that’s ok.

That was one of Orgeron’s special talents. He remembered everybody—even the guys he didn’t land— and seemed to genuinely care about them and their families. Again, even if he didn’t land them. I think that talent would be very valuable in the age of the portal.

if we don't hire another dinosaur, LSU will most likely get an uptick in recruiting and transfers. Players like the idea of playing for LSU
