What has he done lately? That is all that matters today. LSU has been A$$ its last 4 outside of playing a Purdue JV team.
Does that go for BK only, or should every coach be on the hot seat and ready to be fired when they have the 1st down 4 game stretch of their coaching tenure?

This simply isn’t true

One game better than expectations last year

One game worse so far this year

What does that equate to?

When that 1 game better is Bama and winning the West, it's laughable that you choose to put ZERO stock into that.

You've already admitted as much, you said to win the West we had to beat Bama, and winning the West was "happenstance." It's just nonsense you're talking right now, if you're being honest with yourself.

I thought we would go 8-4

We went 9-3

Is that not one game better than expectations?

You're saying that 1 game against FSU this season is the exact same on the opposite end as beating Bama and winning the West last season.

It's nonsensical, but you know that.

If they meant all exactly the same, you'd say beating FSU Sunday night and losing to Bama last year would be the absolute exact same thing, right? But it's not, which is why you're off the mark here.

Umm, yeh

Actually, the great bama win was also offset with the absolute shite of A&M already. Bama was one game. And it was great. But it’s one game.

Big picture, Kelly hasn’t been bad but he hasn’t been great.

8-4 last season with a loss to Bama and 1-0 this season aren't remotely the same accomplishment.

I would much rather the 8-4 and 1-0 scenario actually. So sure, it’s not the same

The lack of progress to be ready for week 1 in year 2 is concerning

If we went undefeated and 6-6 in consecutive seasons, you're arguing that's exactly the same as back to back 3 loss seasons.

That's your logic, same amount of losses must mean the exact same type of season, which is just nonsensical.

When Orgeron went 15-0 then 5-5, yes, from a concern perspective of “is this guy a shite coach” was absolutely higher than if he went 10-2 and 10-3

Watching a second year coach show regression towards the end of year 1 and beginning of year 2 is concerning. You are the one being nonsensical and trying to make things far simpler than they are

I’ve posted this a few times, but last season so far exceeded expectations. That sped up the timeline in the eyes of fans and media, but didn’t necessarily speed up the actual program building timeline.

It was a double edged sword, the success in 2022. Now Kelly can’t run from that, the expectation has been set, fair or not. I’m confident we’re still building a championship program.

But would you say 15-0 and 5-5 is the exact same seasons as 10-2 & 10-3? No, no one trying to be any bit logical would say that.

So, exactly what I've said about 7 times in this thread already

This makes as much sense as you trying to argue that 15-0 and 5-5 is the same as 10-2 and 10-3, so there's that.

That's a huge bingo. It was solid to beat Bama and win the West, but as we can see, it was always going to create unrealistic expectations. And I'm not talking about just beating or not beating FSU, but it's obvious with how unrealistic people are in judging his full tenure thus far.

You nailed it, both statements.

10-2 and 10-3 would actually be less troublesome for a coach in terms of worrying about their future success

To make it simpler for you

15-0, 5-5, 5-7 and a lot of coaches are fired

8-4, 9-3, 9-3 and they aren’t


BUT EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS!!!!

Yes, we understand, he did slightly better year 1 than we expected. But he ended year 1 poorly, and has begun year 2 poorly. Concern is warranted, and no matter what you try and say, you clearly are very defensive about simply sharing the phrase that their is concern

Still arguing that a national championship and a 5 loss season is the same exact thing and accomplishment as a 2 and then 3 loss season, I see.

Or another way of putting that statement, exactly like Shel said. Got it, thanks for agreeing with me, you're finally correct.

Even though I've agreed with every single person saying they're concerned and even saying I have concerns too!!! Clown post, do better.
