Why did Brian Kelly kick a future NFL TE off the LSU Tigers?

Brian Kelly
Man if you look at guys history even prior to Notre Dame at whatever directional schools he was at, he was always an a-hole and of course he killed a kid while at Notre Dame

There is a story where he made his assistant coaches park cars

both are NFL coaches now and despise Kelly

he was always a bad fit for LSU's family-like culture

I always liked Bech. But who were you going to sit to play him?

Ever heard of Brian Thomas Jr, Malik Nabers, and Kayshon Boutte?

Pardon my ignorance. Did he kick him off or did Bech transfer?

He kicked him off the team after he made him park cars.

Even if this were true, it’s not like it was a bad decision to give more snaps to current NFL TE, Mason Taylor.

Bech left in 2022, he also wasn’t taking playing time from Taylor considering he isn’t even a TE. This whole thread is fricking stupid

Why does everyone think Jack Bech is a TE? He's a shade over 6 feet and 210 lbs, not 6-5 and 250. He'd get killed running routes designed for tight ends.

Keep that roster together, and that offense would have been high octane. FIVE great receivers.

That probably benefitted Bech more than anyone.

Are we just making things up now?

Bech had a really good freshman season and when Kelly came in, he treated Bech as one of the team leaders.

He also had him as the punt returner, which clearly didn’t work out well for anyone.

Two future first round draft picks and Kayshon Boutte passed him up on the depth chart, and Bech transferred to a solid program.

FWIW his 2023 season at TCU was even worse than his 2022 season at LSU.

Bech is in the league. Boutte, Thomas Jr., and Nabors are all in the league and doing better than him. And if for some reason we want to compare to a guy who is 4 inches and 35 pounds heavier than him, Mason Taylor is also doing better in the NFL.

I legit despise Brian Kelly, always have. But this is dumb.

1. Bech transferred, not kicked off the team
2. He's a WR now
3. Mason Taylor was better
