Brian Kelly knows his job is safe and he knows that his team will have trouble making the playoffs unless he can somehow fix the offense that has a QB who’s just not very good.

BK came here to get his Natty, but has his team playing like a middle of the road SEC team. Gonna be interesting to see how reacts to the backlash from the fans if he fails to make the playoffs.

I also wonder if BK is meddling with the offense in a bad way.

Meddling as bad as Sloan is BK should be fired if he isn’t.

I wsh he'd take on the roll of full villian. But, that would also mean he goes nuts at practice on the OL and makes them hit like crazy.

Embrace your strengths BK.

My coach was one of the biggest assholes around, but we didn’t play around because of it and won. All of the pussies worry about liking a coach.

You’d think for $841,000/game he’d be happy he’s fleecing us.

I always thought he was a tool while at Notre dame. I wasn’t excited that he came to LSU, but was hoping that even if unlikable he would be an effective instrument for LSU and that really isn’t panning out. He is winning some but we aren’t in real contention.

The CEO doesn't have to be warm and fuzzy. I like his passion and liked Saban's as well, especially until his last couple years in coaching.

Lesticles was Mr. Numbnutt and would stand on the sidelines without any emotion. MJ chewed plenty os his teammates arse over the years due to his competitive bent. Enough said.

I don’t, but if you are an a-hole you better win. That a-hole act wears thin quickly when you don’t have a lot of success.

I like coach Kelly

I don’t get the hate at all

Most coaches look miserable on the sidelines

I liked the hire. I like Kelly, but I think this era has passed him by. He can’t keep up with the current state of college football. He is used to a different era he could build and develop a team over years. Nobody can do that anymore. Saban knew it was time to go. It’s time for Kelly to retire.

Bryce Underwood apparently. You’re an idiot if you don’t understand why having 2 ounces of charisma in your entire body is a necessary thing for a coach, but then again I’m not surprised at all that you of all people have that take


Underwood is off counting his millions, dumbass. Coaches had absolutely nothing to do with his flip. That was all Larry Ellison’s sugar baby and frickhead at Barstool.

lol division II sure


When the talent is pretty equal (mediocre to non-existent by P4 standards) across the board, you actually have to fricking coach to gain an advantage and win consistently. Campbell, Leopold and Kleiman are other examples of guys who have come from the lower divisions. Those three have been able to win at programs that don’t have the same talent level as some of their competition, as Kelly did at CMU and Cincinnati.

A lot of coaches who try and make this leap never catch on. Maybe they don’t know how to translate what they do to the talent level in the P4. But knocking a coach for winning at that level is stupid. Yes, we are never going to look at it the same way, nor should we, but the guys coaching title teams in the FCS, D2 and D3 deserve some respect for being able to build consistent winners without teams full of elite talent, nor lots of money or anything close to the same program support.

I know he needs to adapt further, but he’s not Dabo. He’s fully embraced NIL and the portal at this point. What holding the team back was a bad decision to elevate Sloan, and then again not acting last offseason. That’s not adapting to anything new in college football. Bad hires happen every year.

Blame Woody, he had no plan in place and had to throw cash at a name and that name was BK.

Seriously. A bunch of grown men crying about the personality of another man who they’ll never meet.

BK Derangement Syndrome in full swing. One would never know we won last night.
