I understand people not liking Kelly. He does not talk, walk and think like us but:

[1] 57 million dollars is the buyout after this year. If you raise and pay that you will have nothing left for NIL, not just in football, but also in basketball, baseball, WBB etc.

[2] Who would you replace him with. He is currently the winningest active head coach in college football. If he cannot make it who can?

Les won a natty and took us to another and won 80% of his games and we kicked him out 3 weeks into his 11ths season. The real reason was that he was not Nick Saban. We replaced him with Ed Orgeron, who was very lucky in 2018-2019 to stumble upon the greatest QB in school history. After 2019 we all know what happened. You want to repeat history

We have hired some really bad HCs. Mike Archer was too young...Curley Hallman and Ed Orgeron were both the same level but one inherited a dumpster fire while the other one inherited a Ferrari but the end result was the same....Dinardo was fine for a couple of years before taking his eyes of the ball and starting his own restaurant. Considering where we were in 2004, we could have done better than Les, but at least he preserved a great program.

So our hires before this have been bad. If Kelly goes...so will Woody...and then we will have a problem.

While I generally agree...2026 is going to be a complete rebuild overhaul...so we better do it this year

Yep a failure to make the playoffs this year would make the season a complete and utter failure.

Agree. If they don't make it, you're not getting your money's worth.

there are a lot of teams that are paying tons of money and have great programs....just from the SEC alone. Every year is pushing it, but, we are overdue for sure. This year is make it or bust, imo, for BK.

Rinse and repeat giving us blue balls every year. For the money he gets paid, every 2 years should be a staple.

Except he hasn't been once.

There are roughly $50M reasons why this won't be his last year.

LSU is not cutting a check that big to fire him after 4 seasons. I think the contract alone keeps him here at least 6 years. Woodward went out and got the "home run" hire fans demand. That comes at a steep price and heavy commitment.

i think that is a fair standard.

Wut?

The greatest college baseball program ever makes it to Omaha 50% of the time but football making it 100% of the time is a fair standard? Bruh….

Football should make the 12-team playoff 25-50% of the time, 1/3 seasons would be a fair, lofty standard.

Yes agreed we should make the playoffs this year which is a fair ask. Thought your reply was to the OPs message and not the subject

ETA OP is saying two entirely different things in his subject and post.

We should make the playoffs...but this place is going to be glorious if we end up 9-3 and barely miss it and BK doesn't get fired (which he won't). There is a very decent chance this could happen.

CBK made some big coaching personnel errors early on at LSU that costed him and put him in the position his is in this year. Playoffs or bust.

And after CJJ won it all this year in Omaha… CBK is feeling it more than he already was.

Failed season if LSU doesn’t make the playoffs


We need to stop losing to teams we shouldn't lose to

Year 1 under BK: FSU at the Dome, Texas A&M
Year 2: Ole Miss up 49-40 on the road
Year 3: USC, Texas A&M, Florida

It's that simple, are we clear (Jack Nicholson voice)?
