Is this not the exact sentiment that led to BK?


It is for sure and at first I was a believer. We made a sec championship his first season and had a heisman trophy his second.

I think Kelly just doesn’t fit in with the SEC culture. It’s a meat grinder and you cannot take weeks off. This isn’t ND where you play 1-2 teams a year. Every single team can win in the SEC.

Is Mangino or Belima BIG enough?

I don't think Kiffin's been shy behind closed doors about wanting the LSU job but I don't think any overly brash and outspoken troll type is likely to get a job here under Woodward. He wants no-nonsense guys.

Would be a 5 year hiring process to keep him as interim

Were you doing heavy drugs back then? You wanted the coach that won us the first National championship since 1958 and us enduring the hell of the 1990s?

We're not firing BK. 2 tough losses on the road in the SEC.. Delusional group of fans we have here. Now next year is a different story.

I don't think Kelly will be fired after this season. But it would be fun to watch the Rant's collective in ability to understand the marketplace combined with concept of supply and demand.

The Rant would DEMAND a big name on a short term contract with a strictly merit based pay-scale....as if any in high demand coach, or his agent, would agree to such a ridiculously stupid deal.

Yep - LSU is willing to pay more for Saban if Kelly goes to Penn State than Penn State is willing to pay Saban if Kelly stays at LSU.

From LSU's perspective, it is win-win - even if it is, at best a 5- or 6-year contract (the angry little old man from West Virginia turns 74 in 11 days.)

Pate being cryptic here, but emphasizes that someone big would want LSU if open and that it’s a top 5 job.. Who is he referring to?


I'm not sure, but most of the time when Pate is cryptic, he actually does know something.

When he doesn't know anything he usually says "His take, or his read" because that's all it is.

Some LSU fans don’t have a clue.They think everything is cut and dried and you snap your fingers and a great coach comes running.They don’t know who has the upper hand.Then they will bitch about having to pay buyouts and how stupid the AD is.YOU WANT A WINNING COACH YOU PAY THE PRICE WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT!!!! SW took a swing for the fences and it was caught on the warning track.At least he took the swing.

So if he finishes 7-5 which is a real possibility, after having a top 10 roster in terms of talent, you don’t think he will be fired?

I don’t think he will be. Maybe Kelly has a Saban realization and sees his passion for this version of college football is gone and it’s time to step away….but tough to do that with so many millions still owed to you.
