It says our AD screwed us and the program for years to come.

It's not just LSU where the AD has screwed over their university. See A&M, Penn St, Wisc, UF etc... The Sports agents are putting in these insane buyouts and the Ad's are signing off on them. Quit offering these 7 and eight year deals so in case it doesnt work out so are not screwed for many years.

Penn State should never win another football championship ever again for what Sandusky was able to get away with for so many years, may he rot in prison.

What does that say about the job BK has done here?


Your stupidity is astounding.

In 4 years
Took over a depleted roster
SEC West Division winner
Heisman winner
Is 34-12 overall
Is 19-9 in the SEC
Is currently ranked in the Top 10

Throw in the fact that the SEC is a much deeper conference, where road games are quite challenging, and it truly is apples to apples.

Is he perfect - nope.

Comparing BK to James Franklin in year 12 is such a disingenuous thing to do.

Thank you - this is absolutely the truth. Only idiots would compare the two.

It appears Franklin and his team quit after the Oregon loss. That’s why he’s gone. Say what you want about Kelly, there has never been quit in LSU since Kelly arrived. He changed the quitting culture which entered the program during Orgeron’s last two years.
