Seriously…your opinion on why Kelly didn’t work out.

He didn’t care enough and didn’t have the right personality to succeed here anyway, on a lot of different levels. It’s not any deeper than that

Lazy

experience was at smaller schools with exception of ND.

I mean he was there for 10 years, I don’t think lack of big boy school experience was a factor

It’s just becoming clear Kelly was not all in here. I think he initially tried to adapt, hence the awkward dancing recruit videos but quickly realized he just couldn’t pull it off. Then he just became a distant CEO and that really didn’t work for anyone

Kelly was the right archetype to follow Ed but at the wrong time

BK was lazy. He wanted his staff to do all the work and have him evaluate at the end of the season.

He was hands off and no one liked him. recipe for disaster. Woody really failed on this hire. Failed miserably and not just because of the results. BK wasn't liked at ND

I think part of it is he's been slow to change or unwilling to change to the new landscape of college athletics. Some of that with NIL I think LSU was a little behind on at first with how they were going to handle NIL as we saw a couple years ago when we couldn't get DTs which led to the quote many will remember of "we're not going to buy players."

You see it all over the country with coaches like him. Mike Gundy, Dabo, Saban retiring because of it and there's more examples.

Also, it seems like he never fully realized the commitment it takes to win at a school like LSU. This isn't the type of job where you can take a few days off essentially from the start of fall camp until the end of the season. With the current state of college football, you have to grind your arse off and that's just something we never saw Kelly do.

I don't buy in to all the he was never a fit here because of his personality and all that stuff. No one cares about your personality when you're winning and competing for championships. However, when you're not competing for those then of course people are going to hone in on things like that.

Hot Carl had a lengthy adderal induced post on the Kelly OL problems, basically his lines at OL were stout because they were mostly upper 4-5 year players. He started out with a pretty bare cupboard here and was never able to truly stockpile depth

Some scheme issues magnified the problem no doubt but overall it was another thing in Kelly’s winning football formula that changed that he couldn’t adapt to

I feel like he's one of those egomaniac narcissists that expects everyone to know what he wants them to do then just yells at them when they don't do it. Last weekend every time something went wrong he was yelling at everyone else about it. He seems like he's always playing the blame game and pointing his finger at everyone but himself. That's just what he allows us to see.

I had a boss like that and it made working there miserable. If he is actually like that ALL the time, I'd imagine that the players are all happy he's gone.

Holy shite the answers in here....lol.

It's a stark reminder of just how dumb most of this board is.

Losing motivation to keep coaching in this new era

These days, good luck with stockpiling depth. After 2-3 years in the program and not playing, those kids are gone.

I’m not defending his shite OLs, I’m saying it’s another thing Kelly could not adapt to.
