re: Head Coach Kelly Preseason Speech, Is this the 1st Warning Sign?

Our number 1 issue over the past couple years has been character and culture. It's been toxic. He is exactly what we need.

Orgeron would punch himself in the face and smash stuff pregame to fire the team up. And then we would lose to sissy blue uniforms, lose by 4 TDs to Kentucky, get runover by Troy and Miss State because those rah rah speeches don't mean shite if you didn't build physicality and game conditioning for 3 months in the summer.

However, is it the job of a head coach to instill character in players?

Yes.

My gosh, positive coaching has been a signal for don't yell at my kid or we will sue you,

Coaches yell all the damn time now, more than my childhood 40 years ago.

These guys nowadays dont care about coaching and developing, they look for easy ways to win.

So, please just shut up. You have no idea what you are talking about.

A positive, demanding, loving, teaching, involved coach can change a players life and performance in very short order. You do that with 100 players and you create a force to be reckoned with.

Kelly is a proud lifelong liberal. It was mentioned in one of the first articles written about him here. So we are going to have that “liberal playbook” for as long as he is here.

I believe most men at that age already have the character built in them at childhood. In my experience, coaches have had little control of their player's character

You definitely don't understand the dynamics of young athletes like you think you do. Most every recruit to Lsu has been the best player on their team from peewee football thru highschool. Most have have plenty of talent to get them by on talent alone. Most have come from less then idea homes sometimes lacking adult leadership. There are exceptions of kids you made it to the LSU based on hard work but most are there based on natural ability.

But like I said, everyone in the SEC is talented. The league is choke full of players that were the best on their previous team.

To be a champion is a thin line. Lots of young men have to.be taught what it takes to be a champion. They have to be taught to pay attention to details. They have to be taught to eat properly, rest properly, attend to academics properly.

Kelly knows this. He is in the business of producing the best athletes possible and part of that is character development.

It seems you think 18 to 21 year old kids should have the maturity of 35 year old men. And that's just not how it works. These are still young adults that need lots of oversight to develop the character needed to be successful.

One of the stupidest posts I've ever seen on the rant which really is impressive.

Then you have zero clue where the majority of these kids come from. 18 year olds are fully formed in their characters, when they often come from broken homes?

Hey I never said the characters were all good. But what's inside is formed. To bring it back to the correct content. Do you believe positive kitten gloves will help change them for the better. My point is stop concerning yourself with their characters and speak on accountability and outcomes. The faster any player gets that the best chance the character transforms! And even then, sadly, that doesn't matter.
