re: Brian Kelly royally fricked up by not hiring an OC and DC before Early Signing Day

OP post sucks as bad as his handle

No class is worth hiring the wrong coaches.

Nobody wants to move to Baton Rouge

The OC and DC he is targeting are playing in bowl games at the moment. He’ll have them in place soon.

I think he has his guys but they are still coaching. I trust his process.

I disagree. Top recruits can always hold off until the regular signing period and choose. Trust me, all schools of their choice will still be available to them. So, if it indeed was about "uncertainty" as you suggest, they would've just skipped signing during the early period. LSU loosing kids from LA was more about NIL payments than anything. NIL just went into effect and take a look at how the early signing period landscape dramatically changed. Now ask yourself, what else changed? NIL!!!

However, although many on here hate the transfer portal, it'll be what levels out the playing field with NIL payments. How long before donors get tired of shelling out big money for programs that don't win it all OR recruits that transfer? A&M will have a problem they can't manage soon enough, only so many guys can start and there's only so much playing time. Players will transfer. All players like getting paid but the best players want PT so they can collect a MUCH bigger pay check. It looks like LSU is left behind right now but the transfer portal will eventually suck the life out of NIL payments. Just wait and see.
