I’ll have to admit, this surprised me.

No, but he beat our arse in Nashville when we had Fournette. I was at that game and he outcoached us, although John Chavis was basically an absentee DC as he’d already agreed to go to A&M.

Quite a few lopsided losses in there.

Not many coaches outside of Smart, Day, and DeBoer have a winning record vs ranked opponents in the same span


Understood…but were fúcking Louisiana State University and this type of record vs ranked opponents is absolutely unacceptable. When you consider the recruiting hotbed, coaching staff salary, sold out games, prime time TV slots- the product they’re putting out is absolute garbage.

Is this not what he accomplished at ND? Everything is on schedule.

FSU was ranked 25 in year 1?

No matter what, it is still not good enough.

This is stupid and a typical lsu fan base rant.
winning 1 out of 4 big games a year is cutting it for you? you have to win 4 in a row now to ever win a title again

The nickname big game Kelly is extremely fitting.

I agree with you even though I'm pissed at what happened last night. I don't know who people thinks we should have hired when we hired BK. There weren't a lot of choices that made sense. We dodged several bullets by not hiring them. If your new head coach comes becomes available, go after him but until, we don't have better choices.

Kelly has lost more games against ranked teams by double digits than he has wins against ranked teams. Let that sink in. No other coach in America could have done such an amazing job.

think we’d all prefer a better record but there are a handful of teams with better record. all of them have more resources and a significant head start on Kelly expecting in 3 years for LSU to go from 6-7 to where UGA and Alabama are feels unrealistic given the landscape


We won a championship in 2019. Pointing to a record in one year in no way quantifies the “resources” available to him. LSU has plenty of resources, $100M of them are tied up with Kelly. I’m baffled when I see people saying this was some type of huge turnaround job.

We should absolutely expect to be where UGA and bama are, what’s the point if that isn’t the expectation?

And further, what’s year 4 going to look like? Year 5? What aspect of the program has Kelly improved? He has been here 3 years now.

I’m not trying to run him off, but people seem to be giving him a pass for producing the same results as the last two coaches, both of which were run off. Our expectations need to be a championship.
