Ehhh, not taking a side here, but this is sort of misconstrued to help him. It was the BCS and they had to win 0 playoff games to play in the championship game
agreed. What Freeman has done at ND this season doesn’t compare to anything Kelly did there. We are in a totally different world now. Playoffs, NIL, transfer portal have made things way different than when BK was at ND. So far BK has not proven to be up to the task of winning in this new world.but we’ll see. Next year is truly do or die for him.

I'll admit I have been a bit disappointed in what Brian Kelly has accomplished at LSU thus far. I guess the high water marks were the wins over Alabama and Ole Miss in 2022 and the Ole Miss win in 2024.

Otherwise, he just hasn't won any significant games, though he's lost a few in embarrassing fashion.

Still, I want to see what he does with this 2025 roster. He has home games against Florida and A&M, games he lost on the road last year. He gets Alabama and Ole Miss with first-year starters at quarterback, South Carolina in Baton Rouge, and nine months to prepare for Clemson.

I'm still hopeful that it comes together this year, but another 9-3 or 8-4 season without a Playoff appearance just won't cut it. It's year four with a loaded transfer roster, an experienced quarterback, and a defensive coaching staff on year two. No more excuses.

Indiana, UGA without 2 year starting QB, who was 23-2, passed for over 7,000 yards, 56 TD’s and 69% completion rate, surely they didn’t miss him and Penn State who hasn’t played anyone and who’s coach is 1 - 18 vs top 5. The actually kicked FSU out of playoffs when QB got hurt bc they weren’t the same team - LOL - Kelly never got a chance to play a junk pile like Indiana

Making a post about Notre Dame and Marcus Freeman right after they win is insecure, yes. Thinking that Notre Dame’s success or failure is somehow connected with LSU is insecure. Nothing Notre Dame has any effect on lsu, so why should and tiger fans care if Notre dame wins or loses. Pretty easy to tell who the beta’s are from this thread.

No, it's more about how Notre Dame gets a distinct advantage of playing a soft regular season schedule, and allows them to get into the playoffs… And then it becomes a three or four game season in which anything can happen.

Exactly, Chicken. And ND was a beneficiary of a 12-team playoff that began this season. They wouldn’t have been included in a 4-team playoff to even have a chance to play for a national championship.

It’s not being “insecure” to point out that BK has had ND in this exact same spot before. Those are just facts.

It is however, idiotic to proclaim that ND is “better” without BK at this point. Now of course if they happen to win the championship, you can make that argument, but at this point, the best you can logically say is that Freeman has them at the equivalent that BK did (though BK did build them back from a complete dumpster fire which is something I don’t believe Freeman could have done).

You and everyone focusing so hard on Notre dame and comparing everything to lsu is beta insecure behavior. Whether you’re being positive or negative, all this focus on Notre dame and comparing everything to LSU is what insecure people do.

Right.
They beat a Georgia team that was not one of their best and a Penn State team that had the same reputation ND had for not being able to win the big one. I will give them full credit if they beat Ohio State.
