3.) (almost didn't include because wasn't a viable option) Riley. Probably would have cost us like $15mil and even then might have turned it down since his USC deal is secret

At the time it was rumored that Riley was locked in, but then USC stole him from us. BK became a plan to save face

Without JD5 how many losses would BK have at this point ? He's 20-8 overall, just think about that.

Y'all need to get over the contract!


so you are telling me that the contract will pose no issues if and when we want to fire him and buy him out?

i call BS. it is a huge issue. thus people bitching about it. miles and O shoulda never got extensions. nobody wanted either. we got fleeced in all that buyout money. just dumb contracts and decisions.

Thats not what happened. Trace Armstrong - agent for Woodward, Bk, and Riley put out the Riley to LSU smoke to keep both deals secret

This is dumb.

How many losses would any coach have without good players?

Not off the bus per say but BK has a lot of soul searching to do.
He needs to figure out what kind of coach he wants to be whether it's the fiery guy at ND or the gentle flower that he's been at LSU.

Not one single person mentioned BK as an option before we hired him. Yet you know with absolute certainty that these were the only options. So you’re either psychic or just plain stupid.

Luke Fickell

Was the hot name at the time. Would have been way cheaper and is proven.

I would have taken Sark. Texas is going to be a pain in the arse for a long time because of him.

Kelly was the maybe the most unlikable coach in CFB before he came here. Unfortunately him coaching here at LSU hasn’t changed his likability this is gonna be a rough few years for sure. It’s really unfortunate we got stuck with him for so long.

Kelly is lazy, has a poorly disciplined team, I think we all saw what we saw…He can bang tables and get mad all he wants, but his mirror ain’t lying, he’s the problem, and he can blame the whole world, but he knows where the buck stops…

If he starts winning and gets the football program stabilized, IDGAF how likeable he is.
