Brian Kelly has our program in excellent shape. He has recruited well, cultivated relationships in Louisiana high schools/towns, funding is great, facilities are great, we're in the preseason top 10 and good Vegas odds to make the playoffs. Is he Nick Saban? No. But also the world is wildly different in the college athletics than it once was and Nick Sabans aren't going to appear anymore IMO.
McMahon has disappointed especially last couple of seasons, for sure. It was a very hard time for LSU basketball to make a huge splash hire, but Will Wade put himself in a position he could not be retained and McMahon was considered a very good mid-major coach. Other programs have made successful hires from such programs. Hopefully the recommitment to NIL will help our roster this year, but this is his last year to prove something (should have been last year) and our program will be able to attract bigger names going forward and we're getting a new arena, etc.
This is bullshite.

BK was a good pre NIL/portal coach, but the landscape has changed dramatically. He may just an average coach in this new Nil/ portal world.
His recruiting has been very good. He had some misses and injuries one year, but overall very good. Roster is very good this season.

Too bad he hid behind that pathetic ND weak schedule for most of his career
Sorry BK but so far you are not even Miles or Orgeron let alone Saban. And we are stuck with you for many more years because of SW. Either win or please take a retirement tour.

BK has a bad year so LSU fires the AD tell me how that solves a problem. You don't fire the AD because he made a football hire that was not a home run.
Changing the HC would be the most direct move. But doing so, because of the contract, would be highly onerous. However, the AD was, ultimately, the person who chose the HC hire. Thus, while getting rid of the AD doesn't immediately change the HC, it theoretically removes the opportunity for the AD to make the same mistake again when the time comes to hire a new HC.
It happens every year in sports, college and professional, the GM/AD who made the bad hires (coach or players) get fired for making the bad hire.
I'm not saying that is what should happen. I'm just saying that if the football team doesn't live up to expectations and the basketball team is complete shite again, people aren't going to trust the AD who hired the HCs to make "better" hires the second time around.

Scott has done a good job overall, sadly he screwed up BK's contract. and that is the most visible screw up you can have as an AD.
While I'm not the biggest BK fan after last year, it's tough to call the contract bad when he's a top 10 level coach.

It does but usually firings related directly to hires are ones where the AD/GM goes against the grain or makes a unilateral hire. It wasn't like Woodward hired Willie Taggart, Bryan Harsin, or Chad Morris. Those are hires that set your program back 5 years and get you fired.

I’ll call his contract bad when we actually want to fire him.

Matt McMahon - ha ha ha. The worst coach LSU has had in any major sport in forever. Abysmal, horrible, worst of the worst hire.
Nope you are wrong.

We have the dumbest fans on the planet. It's like you mental midgets work hard to out-retard each other.

Folks here insist on getting a big time coach but they get mad when said big time coach commands a big time contract.

I assume "forever" in this context means in a long time rather than the entire history of LSU sports. That said, in the last 50 years or so who has been a worse major sport HC?
The immediate response is always Curly Hallman. But while it is difficult to compare different sports, there is an argument to be made McMahon has been worse.
Hallman had a .320 SEC winning %
McMahon's is .259
To put that in a little more context Curly won 10 SEC games in 31 opportunities. McMahon only has 4 more SEC wins despite 23 more opportunities.
McMahon has a better overall winning %, but the quality of non-conference competition in basketball vs. football can be much worse. Hallman had 7 non-conf. losses in 4 years. However, 4 of those were to Texas A&M teams that finished ranked no worse than 12th in any of those seasons. Another was to (then) No. 1 Florida St.
Hallman was bad. No one will argue otherwise. But I'm not sure the casual fan fully understands just how bad McMahon has been in his 3 seasons at LSU.

This year is make or break for BK. Playoffs or retire, Brian.

I'm not sure how you can charge him with this critique when LSU just landed the best portal class in the country and frankly did a really good job on roster retention. If anything, the new NIL landscape and how LSU is positioned now should give confidence for the future.

Brian Kelly - oh boy! I don't want to upset too many of you. He isn't great, he isn't bad. Super meh hire.
He's got that 9.9 mil a year and is just coasting with no fire in his belly.
No way a BK in his prime would allow this abysmal OL situation to unfold. (4 gone. Only 2 signed. Inexperienced and unproven projected Starters. Weak OL coaching {Davis} that requires a babysitter {Atkins} aint gonna cut it in the SEC!)

I think this looks like his only objectively bad hire so far.
Imo Kelly has been ok, but not great either. He's underperformed most fans expectations, but if he goes to the playoffs this year I think that will be soon forgotten.
