All that matters are wins.

It takes talent to get wins.

Kelly is bringing in talent. It's coming in waves.

Moreover, Saban inherited a ton of talent from DiNardo. Kelly inherited a dumpster fire from Orgeron.


Kelly's bringing in bucketloads of talent. The trajectory is up.

On3 Football Team Recruiting Rankings
2025 LSU 2
2024 LSU 4
2023 LSU 5
2022 LSU 17


Why leave off the recruiting ranks of the years prior BK. O brought in top 5 recruiting classes prior to BK showing up.

Nabers, Brain Thomas, Nuss, Dellinger...dumpster fire?
Maason Smith 5*, Sage Ryan 5*, Gregg Penn 4*, Savion Jones 4*, Jaquelin Roy 4*, Jacobian Guillory 4*, Derrick Davis 4*, etc.

All that is a dumpster fire?!? If it was Les Miles or Coach O that had recruits that highly rated that did not pain out, they would be completely roasted, "can't utilize talent, wasting talent, etc." These guys were on roster for BK, why does he get a pass and it called dumpster fire?!

Win or lose, BK is not going anywhere short of there being a reason to fire.

I get this Scott Woodward / Jimbo feeling though.

His seat may get hot but, it won't matter for another 3.5 years.

I knownits an easy comparison because he was another Woodward hire, but idk how you can compare Jimbo and Kelly just looking at results.

Jimbo took over an 7-6 team before the transfer portal, and proceeded to never win 10 games in 6 seasons, and only even ending the season ranked 2 times. and that’s with A&M pumping insane money into the program and recruiting.

Kelly took over a 6-7 team with people jumping shite left and right and multiple classes that had completely fallen apart and he’s won 10+ games twice and the division.

We'll see in 3 more years, win's and loses don't matter. O won a natty, he was an idiot.

BK gets some grace from me for now.

I'm a nobody.

Again the job O took and the Job Kelly took were very different.

O’s was simple: Keep everything that works and find a way to make he offense work.

Kelly’s was: Our team is in free fall please make us good again.

At the end of the day, the BK era will depend on if he is able to win a national championship. If he wins a national championship in year 5 or 6, no one will care what happened in year 3. If he goes his entire tenure here without a national championship, it will be a failure.



He needs to at least make the playoff by year 5.

If he's not in a NCG by year 7 he won't be the HC anymore IMO.

Kelly said to judge him in year 3.

If we lose it’ll mean three losses or more for his three years here.


This is a grade D job. Maybe he meant year 5 or 6? Can some of the Kelly goalpost adjusters clarify?

SABAN had clout by then.


BK is the winningest active coach in college football. Sorry he is not one the TWO active HCs with a NC but to say he has no clout is ridiculous.

Regardless of who their coach is, it’s still a win against a top 15 team & keeps our postseason hopes alive. Don’t be a dumb arse

This panic shite all over this board is beyond annoying.


I don't think you'd see it if BK didn't shite the bed in game 1 for three years in a row. That means the panic starts with an 0-1 record with little room for error. Another loss means shite hits the fan.

I'm not panicked about it as I believe his destiny will ultimately be a failure, but it has to play out over the next few years.
