WTF do they do all week over at football opps?
Kelly needs to stop doing Paul Finebaum's show and get to coaching.

And what wrinkle did LSU add that Alabama couldn’t figure out or prepare for?
Why is it only LSU is caught off guard and unprepared?

When you have elite resources, the ability to spend top dollar on assistants, access to top notch recruits in your backyard, and access to the portal but your defense looks like Brian Kelly's, you haven't prepared as a program. You knew you were going to face elite running qbs like Milroe in your conference which should make you recruit for such situations. He's in year 3 which makes around 98% of these players his and not Coach O's.

access to the portal


People seem to want to compare the portal to NFL free agency. It's not even close. NFL free agency is littered with game changing players every offseason. The portal is littered with players who can't see the field with their current squads, NIL chasers or bitter, disgruntled players. All of the above have little to no film on them which makes evaluating them that more difficult. Even less are game changers. The majority of them are arse & just warm bodies.

Wanna know who recruited & signed Sage Ryan, Major Burns & Greg Penn?

Fair enough, but also obviously a different conversation that we are having.

but you’re not wrong.

I wont argue with anyone who blames Kelly because we’re 3 years in and the buck stops at Kelly. We should have better players.

But I do think he saw the issue and clearly made moves to make corrections.

It’s a large majority for sure, but 98% would be like 1.7 players left over on scholarship.

The majority of the bad players on defense are Coach O recruits & signees.

This is emerging as a worrisome pattern for Coach Kelly.


If you're making the money that D coordinators are making... you don't need anyone to tell you to watch film. If you are waiting on someone to tell you what to do, then you'll never be more than what you are... and likely not good at it for long.

This! It has not been until this years class that we have the caliber of players we need. It was tough to watch recruiting on that side of the ball those two years. Lost out on a lot portal players too

D talent isn’t there. safeties and LBs are not SEC material. D tackles are young. Yes this is Kelly’s fault he corrected it by firing entire D staff last year and now we are paying for the mistakes of the first 2yrs and don’t have an elite QB to help cover for it Kelly gets year 4-5 to show what he can do

Except Kelly, as my friend phrased it, “looks as confused as a fart in a fan factory”. That’s the concern.

Preparation doesn’t matter if you’re not very good.
