Brian Kelly speaks on the situation

“Boy, it’s a lot,” Kelly exclusively told USA TODAY Sports on Friday, Sept. 4. “I think you kind of answered it in the question: they’re all wrapped in together. There’s no separation of church and state, if you will, in Louisiana. It all works together. The politics are involved. The fanbase is influential. Maybe that’s not unique, but in the state of Louisiana, all of that culture is wrapped together with athletics, the university and politics. It makes it difficult to operate at times.”
quote:
“Early on, I thought it was much ado about nothing because it was not going to affect anybody anymore after this year,” Kelly said. “Certainly you don’t have any of those guys (currently enrolled as student-athletes) not covered by the NCAA in the five-year window. I thought this was just going to be a bit of controversy and it would go away once the season started because you would never have to go through this again.
quote:
“The only time I talked to Lane is when he tried to buy my house,” said Kelly, working this fall as a TV analyst for CBS but also open to a return to college coaching. “Lane operates in his lane, and that’s who he is. It’s who I’ve always known. Lane operates in the way he wants to do things. From that perspective, at least you know what you’re getting.”
quote:
“There was a complete vacuum for me in terms of who was instrumental in bringing me there; I didn’t get to know Gov. Landry and the new university president (Wade Rousse) was only on board a short time,”
quote:
“What I can tell you from my firsthand knowledge is that there was separation [in vision]. There was alignment in terms of what we were trying to do there early, increase APR (LSU set a record with a perfect 1,000 score under Kelly), accountability towards the academic piece and building a program. “That certainly wasn’t the priority later there. It was much more about winning in terms of that was the most important thing. That was where the change came with new leadership and certainly the governor.”
quote:Glad he’s not our coach anymore.
Is there a scenario where Kelly, who on college football fields has won more than 300 games as head coach, returns to coaching next season and considers rostering a player with NFL or professional experience already gone from the college game? “No,” Kelly said, succinctly.

It’s abundantly clear the new regime at LSU wants to win and DGAF what anyone thinks anymore. Kelly turned the program soft and the big dicks making decisions aren’t going to bow to the SEC anymore.

Yep. He sucked. He said more in that one interview than he said the entire time he was with us. Mr table slapper

please miss me with this nonsense. Nobody believes these kids are “student athletes” or gives a damn about the APR. Kelly came here from ND to win and everyone knew that.

That would have been such a boss move

He is such a loser and he clearly exposed the problem with fat Scott and Dei Tate

Surely the 100% APR did not show up on the football field, which is ultimately the reason why you were paid 10m a yearPosted on 9/4/26 at 5:39 pm to red sox fan 13
What. A. Goob.
Dear, God. I’m so glad he’s gone with his giant-sized ego.

I was totally wrong about BK... Thinking he saw LSU as his golden parachute.

No, you ignorant fricknugget. That was ALWAYS the goal. The rest can also be goals, but you come here to WIN.
